👀 Characteristics details

Vining plants thrive when supported with a trellis or grown as hanging plants. Regularly prune to prevent the vines from tangling. Most are evergreen, but some varieties display autumn foliage.

☀️ Light

💧 Water

When the surface soil is dry, water the plant.

🌱 Propagate

It is common to propagate by cutting stems about 10-20 cm long. For propagation: 1. If using water propagation, avoid transparent containers. Place the stem in water, and once roots appear, add hydroponic fertilizer. When roots are 5-7 cm or longer, transfer to soil. 2. For soil propagation, plant deeply in soil without fertilizer. After propagation, avoid exposing the plant to bright light. Gradually increase light exposure to help it adapt to gentle light. Maintain high humidity and keep the temperature between 18-22°C.

🪴 Repot

Repotting in spring every 1-2 years is recommended.

💊 Fertilize

Use fertilizer at the recommended dosage during the spring and summer growing seasons to promote more vigorous growth.

🌺 Flower

The flowering period is in the summer, and the color gradually changes from white to yellow over time. It is characterized by a strong fragrance. To encourage blooming, provide a low temperature that prevents the soil from freezing, allowing the plant to go dormant. After the flowers have wilted, it is advisable to remove the flower stalks.
