Freshly harvested passion fruit seeds germinate quickly, but older, dry seeds can take months to germinate if they grow at all.  A few days before you intend to plant the seed, buy ripe passion fruit from the store. Open it and collect at least 6 seeds. Spread the seeds out onto burlap and rub them until the juice sacs burst open. Wash the seeds in water and allow them to dry for 3 to 4 days before washing them again and drying them in the shade. If you plant the seeds immediately, they should germinate within 10 to 20 days. If you need to store the seeds, place them in airtight plastic bags and refrigerate them for up to 6 months. Ideally, you should start passion fruit vines in a separate, protected container and later transplant them to your prepared garden spot. Choose a container that is no larger than 3 square feet (0.28 m2). Fill the container with a soil mixture made from equal parts compost, topsoil, and coarse sand. Fill the container with 4 inches (10 cm) of this mixture. Scrape a stick through the soil in your nursery container, spacing the resulting furrows2 inches (5.1 cm) apart. These furrows will serve as shallow drains that can help prevent moisture from drowning the seeds or their budding roots. Place the seeds 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) apart from one another inside each furrow. Protect the seeds by covering them with a very thin layer of your soil mixture.  Immediately water after planting the seeds. Moisten the soil, but do not drench it. After planting the seeds, all you need to do is provide an occasional sprinkle of water when the surface of the soil dries out. When the seedlings grow to a height of 8–10 inches (20–25 cm), they are ready to be transplanted into a permanent location in your garden.
