How to grow your own passionfruit
Melissa’s Passionfruit Planting and Growing tips
- Plant in spring for autumn fruit
- Choose a grafted plant with a good growth tip
- Plant it level in the ground and don’t tease out the roots; they don’t
like disturbance
- Water in with seaweed solution and mist the foliage with a half
strength brew
- Water every day during the first week
- Water in a wide area to encourage roots to spread
- Passionfruit will twine itself around a string
- Remove any growth from below the rootstock
- Plant two vines to improve pollination
- Don’t over fertilise or over water your vines
- Regular applications of compost and seaweed solution is enough
to ensure a good crop
- Mulch well
- Pick fruit when ripe – it will fall from the vine to the ground
- Prune back to a 1m diameter crown in spring, making sure you
leave some good growing tips; it will quickly regrow and reward
with fruit.
Troubleshooting Q&A
Why is my passionfruit flowering and not fruiting?
Answer: A lack of pollinators. Best not to use insecticides, and plant herbs that attract beneficial insects.
Why does my passionfruit look sick?
Answer: It’s probably too old. They need to be replanted after about 6 years. It might also have a fungal disease if it has brown spots on the fruit or yellow mottled leaves.
How do I treat fungus?
Answer: Spraying with a horticultural oil seems to supress mites and the fungus.
How do I control fruit fly?
Answer: Use baits in areas prone to attack.
