Passion Fruit (Passiflora incarnata) thrives in well-draining, fertile soil that is slightly acidic to neutral. The ideal pH range for this plant is between 6.0 and 7.0. It prefers loamy or sandy soils that retain some moisture but do not stay soggy.

To promote healthy growth, it's important that the soil is rich in organic matter, so incorporating compost or well-rotted manure can enhance soil fertility and improve drainage. Passion fruit vines do not do well in heavy, clayey soils that tend to retain water, as this can lead to root rot. However, they are adaptable and can tolerate a variety of soil types as long as the drainage is adequate.

Additionally, Passion Fruit prefers slightly moist conditions but is quite drought-tolerant once established. Ensure the soil stays consistently moist during the plant’s early growth stages, but avoid over-watering to prevent waterlogging.
