In this video, I show how to grow passion fruit from seeds and grow them into dozens of seedlings using the crush and sow method. We then plant the passionfruit out along a trellis to grow into several passion fruit vines - it's all so easy gardening to do you'll be amazed by how many passion fruit growing tips we pack into just 2 minutes!

Self Sufficient Me is based on our small 3-acre property/homestead in SE Queensland Australia about 45kms north of Brisbane - the climate is subtropical (similar to Florida). I started SSM in 2011 as a blog website project where I document and write about backyard food growing, self-sufficiency, and urban farming in general. I love sharing my foodie and DIY adventures online so come along with me and let's get into it! Cheers, Mark :)
G'day I'm Mark from Self Sufficient Me and in this how to basic gardening fruit and veg growing
in two minutes video I'm going to show you guys how I grow passion fruit seedlings using the crush
and sprinkle method. First of all you want to choose a passion fruit that is easy to grow,
something that you like to eat and something that is true to type and grows from seed. So when you
found the passion fruit that you want what you do is you let a few of them go stale on the kitchen
bench, dehydrate down and they turn into a brown crispy case. It's the perfect place to store
passion fruit seeds. This will take maybe several months. The next thing to do is grab a medium
size container, get some potting mix or seed raising mix, it doesn't really matter and crush
and sprinkle into that container or tray. Then just backfill with the potting medium about an
inch or so over the top, give it a good water and sit it in your seed raising area and in about a
week's time you'll find that the seedlings will come through. Once those seedlings are two or
three inches high we prick out and dip into individual pots. Pluck them out one by one,
make a hole with your little dibber, carefully place that seedling in, give them a good watering
in and let them grow on and in two or three weeks your seedlings will reach six to eight inches high
and at this stage you can plant them out wherever you want them. So let's finish the video off
by planting ours out along a trellis that I've made earlier. Well there you go I'm pretty happy
with that. A couple of feet apart spread out nice and evenly. I've got plenty in reserve in case
some of them don't make it which is possible I'll just replace it with what I've got left which is
quite a few. If you like the video give it a big thumbs up, share it around, don't forget
