Water
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging the roots, as this can lead to rot. Reduce watering in winter when the plant is dormant, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings.
Ensure good drainage.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging the roots, as this can lead to rot. Reduce watering in winter when the plant is dormant, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings.
Ensure good drainage.
Prune to maintain shape and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing stems. Light pruning can be done anytime to encourage bushier growth.
For more significant shaping, prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Use clean, sharp tools.
Propagate Aristolochia stahelii from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix.
Keep the soil consistently moist and provide warmth and humidity to encourage rooting.
Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently, every 3-4 years. Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix.
Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering.
