🌱 Plant Care Tips

Sunlight

Thrives in full sun to partial shade, needing at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily. More sunlight encourages abundant flowering.

Soil

Prefers well-draining, fertile soil with moderate moisture. A mix of garden soil, compost, and sand enhances drainage and overall plant health.

Watering

Water regularly, especially during the growing season. Allow the top inch of soil to dry between waterings to prevent root rot. Once established, it becomes drought-tolerant but benefits from consistent moisture.

Fertiliser

Feed the plant every 2-3 weeks during active growth. Use organic fertilisers like fish amino acids, vermicompost, or cow dung manure for better growth. For more blooms, apply bone meal or Epsom salt. Avoid over-fertilising.

Pruning & Maintenance 

Trim regularly to manage size and encourage bushier growth. Remove dead or yellowing leaves to maintain plant health. Pinch growing tips to stimulate fuller foliage.

Support & Training

Provide sturdy structures like trellises, fences, or arbors for climbing. Gently direct tendrils and loosely tie them to supports for controlled growth.

Pests & Diseases

Generally resistant to pests, but watch for aphids and spider mites. Treat infestations with neem oil or insecticidal soap. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.

⚠️ Common Plant Issues and Their Remedies

Overwatering

Yellowing leaves, wilting, and soggy soil. Allow the soil to partially dry out between watering, ensure good drainage, and avoid overwatering.

Underwatering

Dry, wilted leaves. Water regularly, especially during hot weather, to maintain consistently moist soil.

Lack of Sunlight

Sparse flowers and weak growth. Plant in a location with full sun exposure for optimal flowering.

Temperature Extremes

Leaf discolouration and stunted growth. Protect plants from frost in colder climates and provide shade net during extreme heat.

Lack of Support

The vine tends to spread along the ground, giving an unorganised look. Use sturdy support to encourage upright growth and maintain a neat appearance
