Water
Keep the soil consistently moist during the growing season, but avoid waterlogging. Water more sparingly in winter, allowing the top few centimeters of soil to dry out between waterings.
Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist during the growing season, but avoid waterlogging. Water more sparingly in winter, allowing the top few centimeters of soil to dry out between waterings.
Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Prune after flowering to shape the plant and remove any dead or overcrowded stems. This vigorous climber benefits from annual pruning to maintain size and encourage flowering.
Remove any weak or unwanted growth at the base.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Dip the cuttings in rooting hormone and plant them in a well-draining soil mix in a warm, humid environment. Alternatively, seeds can be sown in spring.
Repot Gum Vines every 2-3 years, or when they become root-bound. Choose a pot one size larger with fresh, well-draining potting mix. Repot in early spring before new growth begins to minimize stress.
