Melothria campestris prefers consistently moist soil, but avoid waterlogging. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering frequency during winter months when growth slows down.

Ensure good drainage in pots to prevent root rot.

Prune Melothria campestris to manage its size and shape, and to encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or leggy stems. Pruning can be done in early spring before new growth begins.

Pinching back the tips of young shoots will promote a more compact plant.

Melothria campestris can be propagated from seeds sown indoors in early spring, about 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Seeds require warm temperatures for germination.

Alternatively, cuttings can be taken from healthy stems in late spring or early summer and rooted in moist soil or water.

Repot Melothria campestris every 1-2 years or when it becomes root-bound. The best time to repot is in spring, at the beginning of the growing season.

Choose a pot that is one size larger than the current one and use a well-draining potting mix. Handle the roots gently during repotting.
