Keep the soil consistently moist during the growing season, but avoid waterlogging. Reduce watering significantly in winter, allowing the top few centimeters of soil to dry out between waterings.

Overwatering can lead to root rot.

Prune after flowering to manage size and shape. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing stems. This vigorous vine can be trained on structures or allowed to trail.

Heavy pruning can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer or by layering in spring. Cuttings should be at least 10-15 cm long and placed in a well-draining potting mix. Rooting hormone can improve success rates.

Patience is key for establishment.

Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently, perhaps every 3-4 years, or when root-bound. Use a large pot with good drainage and a general-purpose potting mix.
