Flower pollination on PASSIONFRUIT vines can sometimes be difficult. The main pollinators are bees and to attract bees around a vigorous growing vine it is best to plant flowering shrubs around the vine
.
Incorrect pruning of a vine can also severely reduce pollination. Vines should be heavily pruned once in late winter to stimulate new growth on which the new flowers will develop
.
During the growing season it's best to thin out the vine every now again to prevent the vine from becoming too dense and to better expose the flowers to pollinators
.
Applying high intake nitrogen fertilisers does not help flower production - a better alternative is rock dust with a plethora of rich minerals for strong flower growth. The feeder roots of a vine can spread for metres either side of the vine so when fertilising you do need to cover a wide area ✅
.
In the event nature still lets you down, try hand pollinating the flowers. It's very successful if you have the time and patience of course

Our (what used to be) ROMANESCO broccoli
.
It sure has grown very well and we are actually surprised it grew this big because it's planted 10 cm away from other plants. We don't have the room to adequately space out our brassicas so we are pretty thrilled with this big beauty 😋

BEETROOT growing well. We were so unfair with these seeds
.
We dumped them in wet soggy soil in the middle of winter but they survived the early days and are now thriving with milder conditions on the way 😍
