The reason passion fruit only flowers but does not bear fruit is a lack of pollination

Growing passion fruit: Why does it only flower but not bear fruit? In August this year I bought a passion fruit plant from a vendor at the vegetable market. At the time it had four passion fruits on it, which later ripened and dropped off. After that it flowered continuously but did not bear fruit. I planted it on my south-facing balcony, in soil more than two feet high. What is the reason it does not bear fruit?

A very key point when the passion fruit you grow does not bear fruit is that most passion fruit needs pollination. If passion fruit is grown on an enclosed balcony, then after it flowers, with no insect pollination and no hand pollination, it will be hard for it to bear fruit.

⟦NL> The specific pollination method is to choose 9 a.m., and you can use a cotton swab or the tip of a writing brush to directly take the pollen from the stamens and apply it onto the stigma of the female flower.

Three days after pollination, small fruits will grow out, and within a dozen or so days they will grow quickly.

 Best answer:
◎When passion fruit only flowers but does not bear fruit, the main reason is a lack of pollination. As long as when the passion fruit flowers, you dip a watercolor brush in pollen and brush it onto the stigma of another flower, the hand pollination action is completed, and you just wait for the fruit to grow and ripen.
○Passion fruit is an insect-pollinated flower, so it can be pollinated naturally. If the environment is not suitable for natural pollination, hand pollination can also be used. The flower is made up of 5 stamens plus three pistils. The three stigmas in the middle are the pistils, and the five on the outside are the stamens. If you look carefully, their directions are opposite. It is precisely because of this strange structure that passion fruit does not pollinate successfully easily. Moreover, there are originally not many insects in the city. If you want to rely on insects for pollination, the success rate may be less than 20 percent. This is why many people's passion fruit only flowers but does not bear fruit.
