How to grow passion fruit
One of the easiest method to grow passion fruit is to grow from seeds. In my case I have collected the ripen fruits from one of my friends passion fruit plant. The fruit should be fully ripen. There are plenty of seeds in every fruit. Collect those seeds and put it under soil in a pot. The fact is that even though you through the fruit/seed away it will grow its own without much care. The photo provided here is a passion fruit plant which climbed on a tree. Nobody had planted it there but somehow the seed came there and grew !
Passion Fruit Plant and Fruits
The plant will sprout after around one week. When the plant grows up to 15 -20 centimeters you can replant it . The ideal place to plant the passion fruit is near to a fence or a small tree where the plant can climb. Why I am a suggesting a ‘small’ tree and not a ‘big tree is that if the passion fruit plant climbs on a big tree you wont be able to pluck the ripen fruits easily and may have to wait till the fruit falls on earth which is not a good idea ! Even though passion fruit plant does not need extra care it is advisable to water it properly especially in first one month after planting.
