GENERAL INFORMATION

• Passiflora Caerulea also known as Passion Flowers or Bluecrown Passionflower or passion fruit is a perennial vine native to South American countries and regions such as southern Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay. 
• It is cultivated commercially in tropical and subtropical areas for its sweet, seedy fruit, commonly called passion fruit.

SOIL REQUIREMENT

• Use well-draining but rich and moist soil for passionflowers. Soil pH can be neutral to acidic. Add compost for nutrients and mulch around the plant's base to retain moisture and protect roots.  Plant passionflower in the spring or fall near a sheltered area, like a wall with some support for the vines (such as a trellis, a pergola, or other structure or plant). Self-clinging tendrils hold the plant to the support.
• Excellent drainage is absolutely necessary.

FEEDING/FERTILIZER REQUIREMENT

• Passionflower vines are heavy feeders and will benefit from a regular light application of balanced, general-purpose fertilizer with equal proportions of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.  A fertilizer high in nitrogen promotes plenty of passionfruit leaf growth at the expense of fruit and flowers.
• Fertilize with compost, citrus foods, chicken manure, or cow manure.
• Fertilize the plant before new growth emerges in early spring, and then repeat every four to six weeks until early autumn. For the amount to use, follow product label instructions, and don't overfeed.

LIGHT REQUIREMENT

• Full sun to partial shade is preferable.  Plants appreciate afternoon shade in hot climates. Wintering potted passionflowers need bright, indirect light and to be out of the way from drafts.

WATER REQUIREMENT

• Water passionflowers deeply after planting. Beyond that, water passionflowers once or twice a week, giving them 1 to 1 1/2 inches of water weekly. 
• Passionfruit has a high water requirement when fruits are approaching maturity.  If the soil is dry, fruits may shrivel and fall prematurely, so water frequently for short periods during dry times.
