Planting Guide:
- Choose the Right Location: Select a sunny location where your Granadilla vines will receive at least 6-8 hours of sunlight each day. These vines thrive in tropical and subtropical climates.
- Prepare the Soil: Ensure the soil is loose, well-draining, and slightly acidic to neutral (pH 6.0-7.0). Amend the soil with organic matter or compost if necessary to improve drainage.
- Plant the Seeds: Plant Granadilla Fruit Seeds 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) deep in the soil, spacing them 10-12 feet (3-4 meters) apart for optimal growth.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Granadillas require regular watering, particularly during dry periods, but ensure proper drainage to avoid root rot.
- Care for the Vines: Provide support such as a trellis or arbor for the vines to climb. Prune regularly to remove dead or damaged growth and promote healthy vine development.
- Harvesting: Granadillas are ready for harvest when the fruit turns orange and the skin wrinkles. The pulp inside should be juicy and aromatic.
