4. Watering and Fertilizing
Water regularly, avoiding waterlogging.
Use balanced fertilizer (10-10-10) and switch to a potassium-rich one once flowers form.
Mulch to retain moisture and control weeds.
5. Pruning for Higher Yield
Prune dead growth and pinch tips for bushier growth.
Remove some flowers early to focus energy on fewer fruits.
6. Pollination
Encourage pollinators (bees, insects) by planting nearby flowers.
Hand-pollinate if necessary.
7. Pest and Disease Management
Treat pests like aphids with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
Ensure good airflow and avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal issues.
8. Harvesting Passion Fruit
Harvest when the fruit is purple or yellow, heavy, and wrinkled.
Twist or cut gently to avoid damaging the plant.
Tips for Bigger Fruits
Provide consistent care with water, nutrients, and pruning.
Keep the area free of competing weeds and focus on one or two vines.
Bonus Tips
In cooler climates, use row covers or plant near a south-facing wall.
Test soil pH and adjust if needed (ideal pH: 6.0–7.0).
