Care Tips
- This species is easy to grow and has a moderate growth rate. Plant this species in fertile, well-drained soil.
- Provide a sturdy pergola or trellis to train plant to climb. It flowers best under full sun, because shady conditions inhibit flowering.
- Mulch the plants with compost to prevent the soil from drying out or the roots from overheating.
- Feed plants with a fertilizer rich in phosphorus to promote flowering. Avoid using nitrogen rich fertilizers, because they encourage development of leaves rather than flowers.
- Trim the branch tips after spent flowers to promote new growth and more flowering.
Sunlight - Full Sunlight (6hrs)
Water - Always Maintain the moisture in the soil. When the leaves turning dull it is indication of water requirement.
Fertilizer - Apply any organic fertilizer once in 2 month.
