📘 Plant Care & Growing Guide

☀️ Sunlight Requirements

Thrives in full sun to partial shade, needing at least 4-6 hours of sunlight daily.

Protect from harsh afternoon sun by providing shade during peak heat hours.

❄️ Temperature & Climate

The ideal temperature ranges from 15-30°C. 

Protect from frost during winter, grow under a shade net in extreme climates.

🌱 Soil & Potting Mix

Prefers well-draining, fertile soil rich in organic matter.

A mix of garden soil, compost, and sand works well. Cocopeat and vermicompost can be added for better moisture retention. 

Slightly acidic to neutral pH levels (6.0-7.0) are best for optimal growth.

Regular addition of organic matter enhances soil fertility and promotes healthy root development.

💧Watering

Water when the topsoil feels dry. Keep soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging.

Water more frequently in summer and reduce watering in winter.

Use mulch to retain soil moisture and prevent rapid evaporation.

🌿 Fertilisation

Feed every 4-6 weeks with organic fertilisers like vermicompost, bone meal, or fish amino acid for lush growth and vibrant blooms.

Seaweed extract can boost flowering potential.

Compost tea can be used as an occasional nutrient boost.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

Light pruning after flowering encourages new growth and more blooms.

Remove dead or damaged branches regularly. Avoid heavy pruning as it may reduce flowering.

Regularly trim excessive vine growth to maintain the plant’s shape and prevent overcrowding.

 🏗️ Support & Climbing Structure

Requires a strong trellis, pergola, or creeper net for optimal growth.

The more support provided, the faster and healthier it grows.

Can be trained to cover fences, walls, or create privacy screens.

🪴 Pots & Grow Bags

Best grown in the ground but thrives in pots/grow bags too.

Use a 12-inch pot or grow bag for young plants and shift to an 18-24 inch pot or grow bag for mature growth.

Ensure proper drainage holes to prevent root rot.

Use a sturdy support system when growing in pots to allow proper vine expansion.
