Learn more about the Purple passion fruit
Here comes one of the most famous tropical vine , you all know the Passion flower: it is the source of the delicious passion fruit found in the tropical fruit section !
Also known as "maracujas", these amazing tropical fruits give free rein to your culinary imagination: in fruit salads, mousses, sorbets, juices, to enhance your cocktails or simply cut in half with a spoon like a kiwi!
It is called "passion fruit" in reference to the passion of Christ. Indeed, its crown of filaments evokes the crown of thorns, its five stamens recall the five wounds inflicted on Christ, its three stigmata the three nails of the crucifixion, its pistil is said to be in the shape of a cross and its tendrils a whip.
In addition to Passiflora f. edulis, which has small purple fruits that are mostly eaten raw, we also offer the yellow-fruited variety Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa, which is mostly used for juice, as well as the large-fruited yellow variety ‘Giant’ Passiflora edulis.

Rayon de Serre's word
When you receive your plant, repot it in a pot slightly larger than the bucket, which must be well pierced. Avoid pot covers which prevent residual water from draining away and encourage fungal diseases. Choose a fine potting soil, ideally with added perlite or sand to lighten the substrate (do not use garden soil or acidic soil such as heather). Then plan two repottings per year (spring and autumn), gradually increasing the size of the pot and adapting it to the size of the root network (the roots must have room, but not too much as the plant must be able to dry out its substrate between waterings). This avoids having to add fertilizer, which always risks burning the fragile roots of the plants and making the plant wither as soon as the fertilizer is stopped.
Copious watering: when watering, the entire root ball should be wet, then wait for the substrate to dry on the surface before watering again. These plants are greedy in water, but you should not drown the roots either. Always water at the base of the plant, and do not mist it, because stagnant water in the armpit of the leaves favors cryptogamic diseases. If your atmosphere is too dry, put bowls of water nearby (above radiators for example), so that evaporation humidifies the air.
A true houseplant, place it in a warm and bright place, like a veranda or behind a window, direct sunlight suits them perfectly.
This plant is not frost and/or cold resistant and should not be planted outside except in limited parts of Southern Europe.
This plant is very easy to prune, which will make it branch out.
Our plants are grown naturally, without chemical fertilizers, so we advise you to repot them regularly (twice a year) rather than adding fertilizer.
If your plants are under attack by aphids or other pests, the best way to control them is by hand. Change their soil, remove as many undesirables as possible by hand and then shower your plants with a strong stream of water to eliminate any eggs that may be present. Spray them (insist on the underside of the leaves) with liquid black soap diluted in water. Repeat the operation several times at a few days interval. Take them outside in good weather, rain, sun and wind will kill most of the aggressors!
The Passiflora edulis grows fast, so make sure you have a solid structure for it! It can flower as early as the first year.
