The passionfruit is one of the best of all fruits to grow at home, but don’t get caught out. Many people pay out their hard-earned money to buy a named passionfruit vine from a plant shop.
But there is no need to. All seedlings produce excellent fruit – so grow your own from seed. Just keep a few seeds from the next passionfruit that you eat and sow them into a pot of potting mix. The seeds should sprout in a week or two.
Once the seedling is about 10-15cm tall (4-6”) sow it into the ground in a sunny spot.
Water it in but don’t water it excessively and don’t fertilize it. They do best when they are left alone. They are climbers and need a fence or trellis to grow on.
Hopefully, by next summer you’ll be picking FREE passionfruit from your own vine.
Hooroo!
