Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly during the growing season, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Reduce watering in autumn and winter to allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Prune aggressively in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Cut back the previous year's growth to within a few buds of the main stems.
This encourages strong new shoots and prevents the vine from becoming too woody and unmanageable.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings taken in summer. Select healthy, non-flowering shoots, cut them into lengths of about 15-20 cm, and insert them into moist potting mix or sand.
Rooting typically occurs within a few weeks.
Young plants may need repotting annually or every two years into a slightly larger container. Mature plants are best left undisturbed in their final positions or repotted infrequently when showing signs of being root-bound, usually every 3-5 years.
