• Light

Light requirements: Full sunlight is required, at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day to promote more flowering.

• Water

Watering frequency: During the growing season, keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. The best flowering effect is to water when the plant is slightly short of water. Wet the soil fully each time you water until the water flows out from the bottom of the pot.

Pruning time: Prune in late winter or early spring before new branches grow.

Pruning method: Use sharp, clean scissors to cut branches at the leaf axils to promote new branch growth.

• Support

Support requirements: Because it is a vine plant, a support structure such as a climbing frame or fence needs to be provided.

• Pest and disease control

Common pests and diseases: Common pests include aphids and spider mites. Pests can be treated with insect soap or neem oil. Check plants regularly for signs of pests.
