Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Causonis eurynema prefers consistently moist soil. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid allowing the plant to sit in standing water, which can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering slightly during cooler months, but never let the soil become completely dry.
Prune Causonis eurynema to maintain its shape and size, or to remove any leggy or damaged stems. Pinch back the tips of new growth to encourage bushier development.
Pruning can be done at any time of year, but is most effective in spring before active growth begins.
Soft water vine can be propagated from stem cuttings. Take cuttings of about 10-15 cm length, ensuring they have at least two nodes. Remove the lower leaves and insert the cut end into moist potting mix or water.
Roots typically form within a few weeks.
Repot Causonis eurynema every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is one size larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix.
Repotting is best done in spring, coinciding with the start of the growing season.
