How Does Passion Fruit Grow

This week, we are going to talk about how to grow your passion fruit plants! If you’re looking to make some extra money in the summer season, growing your own passion fruits is the way to go.

Passion berries come from tropical climates so making sure that yours have adequate water and sunlight will play an important part in successful growth. Luckily, it is not too difficult to start your own passion frui plant!

There are many varieties of passion fruits available at different prices. The price depends on what kind you want and where you sell them. Some sellers even give discounts if you purchase a large batch.

Making a few dollars per berry can be done every day or even hourly depending on how much time you invest in growing your plants. It is also great for keeping in touch with nature as they are both culinary and aesthetically pleasing.

Planting passion fruit

Now that you have your site, plant position, and soil ready, it is time to prepare the passion fruits! These will be one of the first signs of success or failure for your plants.

To plant your passion fruit, choose a sunny area with adequate water and composted soil.

You want to make sure there are no weeds in this area as well. Once they start growing, they can quickly get away if needed- so make sure their surroundings are protected.

When planting your passion fruit, try to cover the roots slightly with dirt. This helps protect them and also gives some extra moisture. Make sure to not push the seed into the soil too tightly though, as they need air to grow!

After its initial setting period, leave the vine alone to develop! You can take about two weeks to see growth, but do not disturb it! When it has sprouted leaves and shoots, you may pull up the plant to check progress.

Care of passion fruit plants

Now that you have learned how to grow your own passion fruits, here are some tips for care of these lovely berries! The best way to ensure they keep coming back is by ensuring their roots get enough water and air.

Passion fruit foliage can quickly dry out so make sure to give it some extra attention. Because passion fruits will sometimes drop off of the vine, check them every few days to see if there are any left. If not, pinch off the branch close to the plant where you know the root still comes in contact with soil. This will help it re-grow!

If possible, try to let the vines dry out between waterings as this helps strengthen the vines longer term. You may also need to pull the plant up slightly to promote branching or sprouting which could lead to new growth later on.

Harvesting passion fruit

When they are ripe, the passion fruits will be soft and slightly brown in color. They can easily be distinguished from other berries due to their shape; whereas most berries have a rounded top, a passionfruit has a pointed top.

If you like eating them just as they are, do not worry! They taste fine when fresh, and there are ways to preserve them so that they last longer. However, if you would prefer them dried or frozen, then start harvesting early to ensure this happens naturally.

Once they are completely dry, cut them down the middle and see what kind of gel seeps out. If it is clear with no pink hue, they were not fully fermented which means they would not taste good. Make sure to check each one individually though as some may take longer than others to set a gel.

Some recipes require the pulp to be preserved as well, but only if the cook does not plan on using the seeds. We recommend either freezing it yourself or having someone else do it for you since they are difficult to pull apart.

Ways to use passion fruit

Many people enjoy eating fresh or dried passion fruits after being given the recipe for them. They are sometimes referred to as rind-less berries because you do not have to remove the skin like with other berries.

Passion fruits can be consumed raw, cooked, juiced, or made into beverages or snacks. When buying passion fruits, make sure they look and feel natural and don’t smell too strong of acid.

They can be in liquid form or used directly in recipes. When using it in a beverage or snack, you should wash the passion fruit first to remove any residues that may contain chemicals or alcohol.

Some ways to use passion fruit include adding it to desserts or drinks, making tonic water/drinks with its juice, and using it in medicinal applications. Because of its rich flavor, it is great in salads and cooking recipes.
