Hello everyone, I’m Jiujie. This time we’ll be introducing passion fruit transplanting. Before transplanting, let’s review how to rub the branches. Let’s open it first. This was rubbed in March. During the gardening class in mid-March, we rubbed the remaining branches. We rubbed the cut branches, and you can see it’s very… It’s beautiful, very beautiful. You can see it. It’s very beautiful. The failure rate is very high. One here failed, but the others all survived. So over 90% of the time, wiping passion fruit branches is basically not difficult. As long as you master the techniques, my method of wiping branches is basically the same. No matter what you’re wiping, whether it’s wax apples or that kind of fruit, it’s easy to rub. These methods are basically used for flowers and fruits, figs, mulberries, and mulberries. You can use these methods on any fruit tree. The main reason is that in Los Angeles, which has a desert climate, it’s quite dry. We just randomly picked a pot from the middle and it’s looking good. You can see the roots have grown. You can see the roots have grown down here. They are very tender. Basically, let’s demonstrate this. Rub it here. The roots are growing beautifully. We usually use moon bran and amaranth. The soil is very good. Look at this. Let’s demonstrate it on a chair. You can see that it is easy to peel and not easily broken. This is one pot. Just grab another pot. Pick up another pot at random. Generally, some people rub the branches. Some people say that everything must be pruned. Some people say that everything must be pruned when it gets old. For example, you can see this branch is about to get old. This branch is its new bud. This branch is its new bud. It is just as fiery, so you can cut it off, including the buds in the front and the back. Basically, all branches can be rubbed. There is no saying. There’s no need to say anything. The roots are all very beautiful. We’ll transplant them when the time comes. They won’t die. They won’t die, just like this one. The bud at the very end has been rubbed. You see, it’s grown taller than these. Some people say the end is too tender and shouldn’t be rubbed, but I don’t rub anything. But my personal favorite is… My favorite thing about this one is that after you wipe it, it will grow very quickly. Keep it moisturized, and it will grow straight up. If we cut it like this, do we need to soak it in water first? Yes, do we need to soak it in water first? Yes, if we don’t wipe it right away, we need to soak it in water because the temperature is a little high now. Like this flower bud, it’s opening now. We need to rub this bud. Pull out this flower bud. We have to pull it out. This is a golden passion fruit. This is a golden passion fruit. The buds appear relatively slowly. The time it takes for each variety to appear varies. The fastest buds appear around the end of February or March. The sooner they appear, the sooner they will appear. This bud usually appears at the end. If it’s at the end, I’ll leave it longer, letting it grow straight up. After it grows, it comes out because we wipe it down. After we wipe it down, it’s probably about this high on top. After we wipe it down, it’s probably about this high on top. We can cut off the flower buds first and then wipe it off immediately. We can soak it in water for a while. Generally, if we cut it, there will be at least three buds. Why three buds? Because the first bud is where the roots grow on the bottom side. The roots grow on the bottom side. So, when we wipe it here, there are two buds exposed. So, It has two exposed buds. This one, like the one above, now has new buds. This one is best rubbed. As long as you maintain it well, the buds will continue to grow. It’s almost always difficult to fail. Rubbing the branches is very difficult to fail. Is Benxiangguo the easiest to rub? Yes, is Benxiangguo the easiest to rub? Yes, it’s the easiest to rub. I just said it’s very difficult to fail. Failure. Okay, okay, make the branches longer. Make the branches look like this one with new buds. We already have buds, so we remove the old leaves. We usually keep some leaves for photosynthesis. Don’t cut it completely bare. I personally always leave some leaves. Look, I always leave some leaves because when it’s exposed to the sun, it will leave some leaves. Because the leaves directly photosynthesize when exposed to sunlight, they continue to grow upward. If you trim the leaves, they will continue to grow upward. Sometimes, if you trim the leaves, it will be difficult for them to sprout. This is my personal experience. It tells me this. It tells me this. You must leave some, like I do 1, 2, 3. If we trim, at least three buds should be exposed, and two buds should be exposed. The bud point is the dew that is rubbed into the soil. We leave some leaves, but don’t leave too many or too large. It will absorb too much water and might not hold up. This is how you prune a branch. This is roughly how you prune a branch. We’ve introduced this before. You see, this is leaf chaff. You see, our level is like this. It won’t drip when you pick it up, but if you squeeze it, you’ll see it contains a lot of water. So, that’s how we do it. I usually use basins to distinguish varieties. For example, I have green, black, pink, white, and red. Different varieties and different things, I use different colored wipes. Rub it, so I can easily tell what variety it is by the color of the pot. I won’t get it mixed up. We usually rub the fragrant fruits until about six weeks in the summer, and they’ll have taken root. We can move them after about six to eight weeks. After about eight weeks, you can move it to a larger pot. Because I wiped a lot at once, I used a plastic bag to create a greenhouse for it. The temperature is high in the summer, and the air is relatively dry, so we must keep it moist. For any wiped branch to survive, it is important to keep it moist. What do we do when we wet the branches and rub them to the fruit? What do we do when we wet the branches and rub them to the fruit?

We usually rub the branches, like the one I just did in mid-March. I’m transplanting it now. Generally speaking, if you take good care of it, it will bloom in September. This batch of winter fruit will bloom that year. It’s okay to rub the branches this way. There’s no problem with rubbing the branches. It will bloom that year. There’s nothing wrong with branches that bear fruit the same year. The key is to take good care of it. If you don’t, the tree won’t grow well. If it doesn’t get enough nutrition, it won’t bloom or bear fruit. So, Teacher JJ, I see that you plant your passion fruit in pots. How do you take care of it? Let’s talk about it together. Generally speaking, we use pots. Although we say it’s a pot, because the passion fruit is large, its roots will spread out and penetrate the ground. So, once you let it spread out, it will grow endlessly, just like mulberries or jackfruit. If its roots penetrate the ground, it will grow very large, bearing many flowers and fruits. Initially, we planted it in a pot because it was easier to manage. You need to fertilize it and do other things. Just like before, there was no earth, but now we see it has accumulated a lot of water. We don’t have to get rid of the water; it’s just there. When it’s exposed to the sun, the temperature rises and it automatically evaporates. The air inside the plastic bag is filled with moisture, making it quite humid. We usually apply rooting powder and then rub it directly like this. Then I just wipe it like this. You don’t need to drill a hole with a stick like some people say, or rub it again because it’s too troublesome. It’s just like this, no problem. It’s just like this, no problem. Because I want to save space, if I wipe them one by one, it would take up too much space. It takes too much space. I didn’t have the confidence before, so I just wanted to wipe with two sticks. They say you should rub two branches. If one dies, another will survive. But because we don’t need it now, rub three branches and they’ll survive. It’s easy to do now. As long as the season is right, all the branches are there, with new buds on them. How deep should we rub? Generally, how deep should we rub? Generally, how deep do you want to rub? We’ll just grab here. Rub it in like this, and you won’t be afraid to say, “It’s too deep, it’s too deep, it’s too shallow.” This is where we grab the spot where it needs to go deep. Rub it in. After rubbing for a long time and getting used to it, you’ll be able to roughly gauge the force. Grab it like this, and you’ll be able to roughly gauge the force. Once you get to that spot, just wipe it in and it’ll go in. Does the northern fragrant fruit grow in the shade, or in full sun? Full sun will be better. It will grow better with sunlight. So if you want to limit the growth of fruit trees like northern fragrant fruit and mulberries, if they grow too large, plant them in large pots. That’s called planting roots in large pots. Don’t let the roots grow out. Let it grow in the ground, and don’t let the roots extend out. Let it grow in the ground, and it will grow endlessly. What about grapes? They will grow endlessly. What about grapes? Grapes are fine, because they have vines. As long as we prune the vines every year, we can plant grapes in the fields or in pots. Will only mulberries and Chinese fragrant apples be abundant? Will only mulberries and Chinese fragrant apples be abundant? Mulberries, mulberries, Chinese fragrant apples, and that five-flowered mulberry are all good. Wuhuaguo is also called northern fragrant fruit and the other type of Wuhuaguo. Wuhuaguo is also like this one, which comes in a white pot. The pink one is the golden white fragrant fruit, the pink one is the golden white fragrant fruit, and this one is purple. This one is the golden white fragrant fruit from Taiwan. I only plant one golden white fragrant fruit, just like last year. There were so many during the Lunar New Year. I only planted one, not two. I only planted one. I don’t need to plant two. You can find a lot of Lao Mo’s products here. You can find a lot of Lao Mo’s products here. This variety requires two seeds. The fruit isn’t very sweet, but rather sour and easy to rub. Just rub a few of them like this, and they’re very healthy and alive. It’s just 32 grams. Because there aren’t many more northern fragrant fruits, I added this on top to help it open up. Pull it up so it’s square. It will be square and increase the space inside. Big bags like these can be bought on eBay or Amazon. Amazon sells them in any size you want. They also have transparent plastic bags. Just type in the size you want, and they come in all sizes. This one looks very easy to clean. This one is for semi-sunlight use. This is one I have. I wiped it before more than a week. We can open a basin and see that it’s full of water droplets. The most important thing is to keep it moist to prevent it from getting moldy. The soil must be very clean. You must use new soil. Don’t talk about saving money by using old soil or anything like that. Once it’s wiped to the end, or What? Once it’s wiped to the end, it’s very easy to mold. This one, for example, has been around for about 10 days. Look, it’s still very emerald green, not yellowed at all. It hasn’t aged or yellowed. The effect is very good, and the fruit is very good. The most important thing is that we use brand new, very clean soil, so it won’t mold easily. Otherwise, if you suffocate it like this, it won’t mold easily. It’s shrouded in sunlight like this. We put it like this, on the roof. Now the sun is in the west, so it’s getting very little light. But in the morning, it gets sunlight, but the sunlight isn’t that strong. The most important thing is that the leaves can still photosynthesize. That can shake it. You can shake it and see all the water come out. Shake it and you can see more clearly. The leaves inside are still very green. They are still very green. They have been very beautiful for 10 days. The main thing is to keep it moist.

The main thing is to maintain moisture, and then control the sunlight. This is when we get the morning sun, and the afternoon sun, so we keep it out of the sun. Usually, we use chairs like I usually buy ready-made Parting Mix. The Parting Mix is ​​already mixed, and the soil itself is very fine. It contains Slow Release. This Slow-Release fertilizer is an anti-decomposition fertilizer. Many people mistake these for insect eggs. This one releases water when you squeeze it. It’s a liquid fertilizer. There are a lot of aquatic plants here, and we added pearl stones and white Perlite. This soil is very easy to use. People usually use this directly. This is what we use. For convenience, we put the pots here. If we put the pots here, they won’t fall over. If we want them to stay put, we can pick up six pots at a time. We won’t move them one by one like this. It might take you a long time to carry them. I usually demonstrate today, so we put them here. Otherwise, they’ll be in the big pot. That’s it. Then we’ll put them one by one. Okay, today, because we’re demonstrating, let’s put them in one by one. Don’t fill the tank completely with soil yet. Usually, our planting habits are gradual, like this small one to a medium one, and then another day, we’ll move to a five-gallon tank. This is a gradual process, one by one, like I just said, because everyone, take a look at this, because we used to use A Kang, so because we used A Kang before, it’s very easy for us to separate it. Like this, the roots grow very beautifully, just put it down like this. It grows very beautifully, just put it down like this. Just push it a little harder and it will work. Can you directly insert this big one? Can you directly insert this big one? Yes, if you only want to insert one or two, yes, if you only want to insert one or two, but because we just talked about it, we need to use the one that is more moisture-retaining, the one that uses A Kang. For moisture retention, we use A Kang. This needs to be clean, so we don’t use such a large pot right away because A Kang itself doesn’t have nutrients, so we need to move to a bigger pot and plant it the next day. A Kang is more expensive, so we usually use it sparingly. The main reason is that it doesn’t have nutrients. There’s no nutrients. Usually, after the roots grow, they need nutrients. So, we’ll transplant them to nutrient soil. Look, the roots are beautiful. We’ll transplant them to nutrient soil. In this nutrient soil, the roots can absorb nutrients. So, we don’t encourage transplanting them that large right from the start, unless you’re… You need to plant two or three in this, like I did. You can plant two or three in this, or you can plant five or six. You can use a pot like this, or you can use a pot like this. This will grow very quickly. In a month, it will grow a foot taller. This means its roots are growing well. The key is to press from the sides. Never press the soil in the middle. The soil in the middle is easily compressed because it sinks, and its roots are easily broken. That’s why we press the sides tightly, and the center naturally becomes tighter. If we stick a stick in here, you can see it’s already one and a half feet high. So after a month, it will be two or three feet high. It’s quite high. As we just mentioned, we recommend leaving two buds on top. After pruning, there might only be one bud left. One is buried underneath, but the top one is just beginning to sprout. It’s not growing that fast, but its roots are already emerging. So, generally speaking, Generally speaking, as I just said, it’s best to have two buds on each plant. This is the thin one, and there are two, three, and more. It’s better to have more than two, because if you touch them, it’s like grafting. I usually leave two buds in case one has a problem and doesn’t sprout well, the other one will be very effective. A bud will soon emerge from another bud point. Just like this, we’ll keep pressing the base. Then we’ll water it and place it in a semi-shade location. After three or four days, it will emerge from the sun. Let’s summarize on this side. This is what we just started with, which is how to prune and plant branches. Finally, after this is completed, we’ll… How to repot after completing the process? A comprehensive introduction from beginning to end will help you to propagate passion fruit at home. Propagating passion fruit by cuttings is very simple, just like the one I just showed. I have about two or three passion fruit in one pot, or about forty in one pot. Well, a pot has about forty plants, and only one out of forty plants failed, so the success rate is quite high. As long as you master the transplanting method, it’s actually not difficult to transplant thousands of plants. So you’re welcome to try it yourself at home. It’s not a problem. Today we’re going to talk about passion fruit, from cuttings to transplanting. That’s about it. Let me introduce it to you all. Thank you.
