Growing & Care Tips

Light:

Thrives in full sun to partial shade. For the best flowering results, ensure 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Ensure 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily to maximise flowering. Avoid full shade as it reduces blooming frequency.

Watering:

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Reduce watering during winters when the plant enters dormancy.

Soil:

Grows well in well-draining, fertile soil rich in organic matter. Use a mix of garden soil, sand, and compost in equal parts for optimum growth. Avoid heavy clay soils or waterlogging conditions.

Fertiliser:

Feed every 4-6 weeks during the growing season with organic fertilisers like fish amino acids or neem cake. For more blooms, use bone meal or epsom salt sparingly. Avoid over-fertilising to prevent excessive foliage growth.

Temperature:

Prefers a warm, humid climate with temperatures between 18–32°C. Can tolerate short periods of cooler weather but is not frost-hardy.

Pruning:

Regular pruning after the flowering season helps maintain shape and encourages bushier growth. Remove dead or damaged branches to promote healthy air circulation and reduce disease risk.

Support:

Provide sturdy support like a trellis, pergola, or arbor. Its cascading growth will create a dramatic visual effect, especially when in full bloom. The more support, the quicker it grows and blooms.

Pest Control:

Generally resistant to pests, but watch out for spider mites and mealybugs. Treat infestations with neem oil or organic insecticides like Beauveria Bassiana.
