Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering in winter to prevent waterlogged roots. Ensure good drainage to avoid root rot, as this vine prefers consistently moist, but not soggy, conditions.
Prune to shape the vine and encourage bushier growth. Cut back overgrown or leggy stems in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Remove any dead or damaged branches at any time of the year to maintain plant health and appearance.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Dip cuttings in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Keep consistently moist and in a warm, humid environment until roots develop.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a slightly larger pot with fresh, well-draining potting soil. The best time to repot is in spring, just as new growth is starting.
