To top the Passion Fruit seedlings, it is generally necessary to choose a sunny day.The climate of overcast and rainy weather is relatively humid, and if it is not properly managed after topping, it is easy to get infected.
Under normal circumstances, when the potted Passion Fruit grows to 1m high, it can be topped, or it can be slightly higher, but generally it will not exceed 2m.The purpose of topping is to keep two or three lateral branches on each side for the growth of lateral buds, and then when the lateral branches grow to 1.5m-2cm high, the lateral branches should be topped so that they can grow better.
When carrying out topping, it is also necessary to properly prune other branches, and cut off the branches with poor growth state and cross growth, which is also helpful for its later fruiting.Note that the tools used for topping and trimming should be clean, and the knives with germs should not be used.
When watering after topping, do not pour water to the topping position, but try to pour water into the soil.Topping helps the plant grow more lateral shoots, makes the plant look fuller, and helps it flower.
