    • Can be grown in infertile soils also. Deep, well drained fertile 1oamy soils are best for good yields. Optimum pH is 5.5 to 7.5, Cannot tolerate water logging over long periods.
    • Passion fruit cannot tolerate frost. Can be grown up to 2000 m. purple one does well at higher altitudes and yellow one at lower elevations.
    • Optimum temperature range is 200C-300C. Below 150C growth and flowering is restricted and above 320C vegetative growth increases at the cost of fruiting.
