Water Aristolochia rugosa regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially during warmer months.

Reduce watering in winter when the plant's growth slows down to prevent root rot.

Prune Aristolochia rugosa in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing stems to maintain plant shape and encourage vigorous new growth.

This also helps improve air circulation within the plant.

Propagate Aristolochia rugosa from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Select healthy stems, make a clean cut below a node, and dip the end in rooting hormone.

Plant in a well-draining, moist potting mix in a warm, humid environment.

Repot Aristolochia rugosa every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot one size larger with good drainage.

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss, perlite, and compost, to ensure adequate aeration for the roots.
