Many people in their leisure time, will choose to plant some flowers and plants at home, and even if the place allows, will also plant some fruit saplings, not only when flowering is very eye-catching, and so on can also harvest full of fruit. Today to introduce to you is the passion fruit tree, passion fruit is a sweet and sour fruit, the vitamin content inside is also very high, the important thing is very easy to raise, raise a tall and large can be used as an awning.
However, when many people plant passion fruit trees, they encounter such a problem, that is, the flowers bloom well, but they always do not bear fruit? That's because you're missing that step. Today, I will introduce to you the specific propagation method of raising passion fruit, solve the problem of light flowering and not long fruit, and the fruit is hung all over the tree.
The vitality of passion fruit is very tenacious and extremely easy to survive. It only takes one seed to plant a full balcony of fruit. If you have passion fruit at home, you can dig out a lump of seeds directly from it, wash and dry it, and if you don't have it, go to the flower market to buy some seeds. Do not put directly into the pot at the beginning of planting, try to use a plastic box as a nursery box, otherwise the new seedlings are difficult to survive, put the wet soil in the plastic box, and then completely bury the seeds in it, and then wait for germination.
After germination, it is necessary to carry out the first transplant, find a few plastic cups to poke a hole in the bottom with a needle, because the plastic cup is sealed to help drain water, and the passion fruit seedlings are transplanted into the cup with roots and soil, and you must be careful not to hurt its root system during the process. To transplant it into the plastic cup first, in order to allow the soil to compact the root system of the seedlings, the most important thing about passion fruit is the root, so it is necessary to ensure the integrity of the root system. This step is the key and many people will overlook.
Placed in a plastic cup for about a day, you can transplant into a large pot, the soil is basically fixed and then directly dug out on the line, every few days to water to ensure that it can be immersed in the root system. Passion fruit is a vine plant, so its growth rate is very fast, in about three or four months, it is ready to build a shelf for it, so that the whole planting process of passion fruit is completed.
Next, wait for it to flower, all say flowering and fruiting, so there is one thing that must be paid attention to when flowering, that is, pollination. If passion fruit does not bear fruit, a large part of the reason is because the flowers are not pollinated. In general, the pollination process of flowers is sealed, so the state of home maintenance and closure has to be done by hand. Passion fruit flowers bloom at more than 10:00 a.m., and then use a cotton swab or small brush to dip an appropriate amount of pollen on the male flower stigma head, and then evenly apply it to the female flower, so that the pollination work is completed.
The following teaches you how to distinguish between the female and male flowers of passion fruit flowers, passion fruit is hermaphrodite, as can be seen from the figure, the top three hour-like red circles are pistils, and the five small petals that separate the yellow circles below are stamens.
After the completion of pollination, generally about three or four days there will be small fruits growing out, the passion fruit that bears fruit is large and beautiful, and the balcony can not be put down at all, so the passion fruit blossoming at home is always fruitless, it is because there is less pollination process, this step must not be less.
