youngman Beverly Hills, CA November 8, 2008 10:49 PM	one time, i went to a local nursery, it had a big passion fruit plant growing literally from a tiny cement crack right by the house. i doubt that they actually water or fertilize this plant at all. is passion fruit really that easy to grow? also can i germinate one from the seeds directly?

Best done in the warmer season of course and you place it under a tree or somewhere where it will get warmth but dappled shade. Some passionfruit are weeds and will grow anywhere ,but if you like eating them ...thats how I have always grown them. Plant out somewhere where they can climb up into the sun but still have their roots in shade ...or mulch heavily. Best grown in the earth rather than a pot.
