About:- The passion fruit is a soft, berry-like, tropical fruit with a delectable, slightly tart flavor. The fruit is oblong and has tough skin. It has a yellow pulp with edible black seeds. At maturity (depending on the variety), the interior is soft to hard, juicy, and densely seeded. The most often consumed edible passion fruit is Grown worldwide, this fruit is egg-sized and filled with a deliciously tart, bright orange pulp. Passion fruit is a vigorous vine that can reach heights of over 20ft in a single year, particularly in the tropics. Passion fruit grows on a creeper vine that can wrap itself around almost any surface and cling to it in search of sunlight. However, do not be fooled by appearances; this fruit is commonly consumed throughout the world and has been for hundreds of years. There are over 500 varieties of passion fruit, each with its distinct appearance. They are usually yellow or dark purple and resemble grapefruit in form. The interior is densely packed with firm, juicy meat, and seeds. The fruit is juiced daily; it is often added to other juices to enhance the flavor and impart an exotic flavor.

Sowing Passion Fruit Seeds

• Maintain a few seeds from big, delicious passion fruit. Gently wash the seed to remove any pulp and pat dry with a paper towel.
• Fresh seed is more viable (has a greater chance of growing) than older seed. The best time to plant seeds is in the spring or early summer, but older, dried seeds will take months to germinate, if they germinate at all.
• Within 10 to 20 days of seed planting, the plant should germinate.
• Fill the grow bag halfway with an equal mixture of vermicompost, topsoil, and coarse sand. Fill the container 4 inches (10 cm) to the brim with this mixture.
• Additionally, you may wish to experiment with organic rotten manure, leaf mold, or other green plant waste.
• If the soil is particularly thick, you can add a handful of coarse sand to lighten it.
• Take note of the soil's pH as well. The pH of the solution should be between 6.5 and 7.5. Add ground dolomite or farm lime to the soil if it is too acidic.
• Every year, add compost to your soil to keep it well-adjusted.
• To keep your soil well-drained, incorporate organic matter or sand.
• Water the seeds immediately after planting. Moisten but do not drench the surface.
• After planting the seeds, all that is needed is an occasional sprinkle of water when the soil's surface dries out.

GROWING REQUIREMENTS:-

• When the seedlings reach a height of 8–10 inches (20–25 cm), they are ready for transplantation into a permanent position in your garden or to continue growing in large-sized grow bags.
• When roots have formed, transplant your seedling. If your cuttings are kept in the proper conditions, they should develop new roots within a few weeks. At this stage, they are mature enough to be regarded as existing seedlings and may be transplanted into a permanent garden space.
• Additionally, the vines need room to ascend and spread. Ideally, you can look for pre-installed climbing structures, such as a creeper net.
• Improve the soil. Passion fruit needs light, deep soil that is rich in organic matter.
• Well-watered. After planting, water the seedlings gently with a watering can or garden hose. Maintain moist soil, but avoid muddy puddles, as this will indicate that you have given more water than the soil will absorb and drain.

HOW TO HARVEST:-

• It may take about a year and a year and a half for your plant to bear fruit, but once it does, you can harvest and eat it.
• Typically, when mature passion fruit is ready for consumption, they fall from the vine. Although the drop does not harm the fruit, you should collect it within a couple of days of it falling to ensure the best quality.
• If your variety does not drop its fruit, simply pluck each one when the skin begins to wrinkle.
