1, soil: passion fruit adaptable, the soil requirements are not high, sandy loam, red loam, kaolin soil, such as good drainage and irrigation of the flat or sloping land can be planted, never planted in the long-term low-lying waterlogged places.

Large-scale production is best planted in fertile soil, loose, well-drained places, can drain the paddy field is best. The most suitable soil pH for passion fruit is 5.5-6.5, pH less than 5.5 is too acidic, easy to cause stem rot disease, need to neutralize some of the acidity in the summer before the arrival of the high temperature and rainy season, such as lime, improve the soil.

2, light: passion fruit like plenty of sunlight to promote branch growth and nutrient accumulation. If the light is not enough, the growth is slow, and the prolonged branches are more, the growth is slow, and even cause the fruit to shrivel up and fall off. Passion fruit is a long day plant, with light week effect, that is, long sunshine (sunshine hours of 12 hours or more) can promote the formation of flower buds and flowering. Generally in the early spring after planting water and fertilizer and other cultivation management work well, the summer can continue to flower and fruit.

3, temperature: passion fruit temperature requirements are basically the same as the average tomato, adaptability is broader, adapted to the north and south planting (the north is suitable for over-wintering in greenhouses, the south at 1400 meters above sea level before the frost to cover the cold, in order to safely over-wintering, or else the upper main stem and lateral branches more than frozen dead, or even frozen to death of the whole plant.

Passion fruit planted that year, the output of the year, to the annual February-March planting is appropriate. General passion fruit economic cultivation for 4-5 years, in the fifth year after harvest, the old plants will be cut off to fully renew. Because the passion fruit is a tropical fruit, crop is very easy for the virus infection, reduce yield and quality, in order to reduce the passion fruit by virus infection, to virus-free healthy seedlings, the best annual renewal planting.
