百香果
Passiflora edulis
植物簡介
Herbaceous perennial climber up to 15 m long. It has a lifespan of 5-7 years, but typically becomes less productive at 5 years. Tri-lobed, glossy leaves are light green to yellow-green (13 cm wide by 15 cm long) with toothed leaf edge. Solitary flower up to 7 cm wide is composed of white, oblong petals overlaid by white stringy filaments (up to 2.5 cm long) with dark purple bases. Each flower has 5 stamens (pollen-producing structures) and 3 styles (egg-bearing structures) which are beige and arranged radially. Round, oblong or egg-shaped fruits (4-5 cm wide) have a thick, smooth rind and contain edible, black seeds surrounded by sweet-sour, yellowish juicy pulp. While Passiflora edulis fruits come in a wide variety of colours (eg., yellow, red, purple), this record refers to the type with purple fruits.

照顧指南
Passion Fruit grows best in fertile, well-drained soil which is watered regularly. Quarterly feed with a fertiliser having a NPK ratio of 10:5:20. It grows best in full sun, but could use some shade from intense afternoon sun. The heavy stems need a strong trellis to support their weight. Regular pruning stimulates vigorous growth, but leave enough foliage to protect fruits from the hot sun. Apply a thick layer of mulch to protect the shallow root system.
Pruning group 11 (Vigorous climber) — 基於植物形態自動推斷，非 RHS 官方分類。 強健攀緣植物，空間不足時修剪控制範圍即可。 熱帶環境下無明顯休眠期，全年皆可進行修剪。

百香果棚架栽培：打造漂亮高產的藤蔓果園
百香果是攀藤性強的藤蔓植物，它的莖會自動長出捲鬚，緊緊纏繞在支架上。如果你硬要把它種在盆裡讓它自然下垂，結果就是一堆亂七八糟的枝條，而且通風差、病蟲多。但用棚架就不同了，所有枝條都能充分受光，結果能力直接翻倍。
南洋風情花園：一場熱帶光影的夢遊
菠蘿蜜樹（Jackfruit）是南洋風情花園的靈魂植物。原生於馬來西亞，成熟時可高達12公尺，樹冠闊大、濃蔭如蓋。最令人驚嘆的是它結出的世界上最大樹生果實，單顆可重達34公斤。巨大的金黃果實懸掛在樹幹上，質感粗粝、紋理深刻，在陽光下散發古銅色光芒。葉片沙沙聲響，果實在光影中搖晃，既雄渾又溫柔。
植物修剪入門：為什麼要修剪、需要什麼工具？
修剪是園藝中最基本也最重要的技能之一。許多觀賞灌木和喬木其實可以自由生長，不一定需要經常修剪，但偶爾你可能需要控制植株大小、移除枯死或不美觀的枝條、增加植株活力、改善株型，或維持健康的狀態以促進開花和結果。
