Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Causonis clematidea prefers consistently moist soil, especially during its active growth phase. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings.
Reduce watering frequency in winter, but do not let the soil become completely dry. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Prune Causonis clematidea in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Pruning can also be done to control size and shape.
Light pruning can be done throughout the growing season to maintain desired form.
Propagation is typically done by semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Select healthy stems, and take cuttings of about 10-15 cm. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix.
Keep moist and warm until rooted.
Repot young Slender Grape plants annually in spring. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years. Choose a pot that is one size larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix.
Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
