Planting Instructions
1. Choosing a Location:
Pick a sunny spot that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day.
Ensure the area has good air circulation and is protected from strong winds.
2. Soil Preparation:
Use well-draining soil enriched with organic matter, like compost, to promote healthy growth.
The ideal pH is slightly acidic to neutral (around 6.0 to 7.0).
3. Planting:
Dig a hole that is twice the width of the root ball and as deep as the container.
Carefully remove the plant from its pot, gently loosening any tightly bound roots.
Place the plant in the hole, making sure the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface.
Fill in around the plant with soil and firm it down lightly to eliminate air pockets.
4. Watering:
Water the plant well after planting.
Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging, especially during the establishment phase.
5. Support Structure:
Provide a sturdy trellis or fence for the vine to climb. The Giant Granadilla needs support to reach its full height and potential.
Train the vines to climb as they grow.
6. Mulching:
Add a layer of organic mulch around the base to help retain moisture and control weeds.
