Planting & Care
To sow passion fruit seeds, lightly scarify the seed coat by nicking or sanding, then soak in warm water for 12–24 hours. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep in a well-draining seed-starting mix. Keep the medium consistently moist and warm (75–85°F) for best germination. Once seedlings have several true leaves, transplant them to a larger pot or garden site with a sturdy trellis.
Provide regular watering during the growing season, allowing the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune to control size and encourage airflow. In cooler climates, grow passion fruit in a container and move indoors before frost.
