3. Precautions

Topping passion fruit seedlings should be done on sunny days, avoid cloudy or rainy days. Topping can be done when it grows to 1m high, or when it grows to 1.5m, it is best not to exceed 2m. Topping can help the side branches grow, the plant will be fuller, and it will also help it bloom and bear fruit. Note that the knives used for topping should be clean, and it is best to disinfect them in advance to avoid carrying germs.

1. Topping time

When topping passion fruit seedlings, you should generally choose a sunny day. The climate in rainy weather is relatively humid. If not managed properly after topping, infection can easily occur.

2. How high to top

Under normal circumstances, potted passion fruit can be topped when it grows to 1m high, or it can be done at a slightly higher height, but generally it will not exceed 2m. The purpose of topping is to facilitate the growth of side buds. Just keep 2 or 3 lateral branches on each side. Then when the lateral branches grow to 1.5m-2cm high, continue topping the lateral branches, so that they will grow better.

When topping, you should also prune other branches appropriately. Cut off branches that are in poor growth condition and cross-growing branches, which will also be helpful for its subsequent fruiting. Note that the tools used for topping and pruning must be clean, and knives with germs cannot be used.

3. Precautions

When watering after topping, do not pour water on the topping position, but try to pour it into the soil. Topping helps the plant grow more side shoots, making the plant look fuller, and it also helps it bloom.
