Watering

• During the winter resting phase, reduce watering but ensure the soil doesn’t dry out completely. 

• Adjust watering frequency based on the climate, increasing in hot weather and decreasing in humid conditions.

Soil and Fertiliser

Pruning 

• Prune after flowering to remove spent blooms and maintain the desired shape.

• Regular deadheading encourages further flowering.

In Containers or Grow Bags

Spider mites are a common pest for the Chains of Glory plant. Create a natural pest control solution using neem oil, soap powder, or an organic pest controller.
