📘 Growing & Care Guide
☀️ Sunlight & Temperature
Requires full sun to partial shade, with at least 4-6 hours of sunlight daily for vibrant blooms and healthy growth.
Grows best in temperatures between 15°C to 30°C. In extreme heat, use a shade net for protection.
Shield from harsh afternoon sun and frost during colder months for optimal growth.
🌱 Soil
Prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH.
Best results come from a mix of garden soil, compost, sand, cocopeat, and vermicompost, ensuring the soil is rich in nutrients.
🪴 Planting
Choose a 12-inch pot or grow bag with proper drainage holes, or plant directly in the ground for better root expansion and faster growth.
💧Watering
Water when the topsoil feels dry, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged. Excessive watering can cause root rot.
During summers, increase watering, while in winters, reduce frequency to prevent water retention.
🌿Fertilisation
Feed with organic fertilisers such as vermicompost, cow dung manure, or fish amino acid every 4-6 weeks during the active growing season.
Bone meal helps in producing larger blooms, while compost improves soil texture and supports strong root development.
✂️ Pruning & Support
Regular pruning encourages new growth and abundant blooms.
Prune lightly after the blooming season to manage the plant’s growth without affecting future flowering.
Provide strong support such as trellises, arbors, pergolas, fences, or creeper nets to help the vine climb and flourish.
🚫 Pests & Common Issues
Pests
Watch out for aphids, spider mites, and caterpillars. Treat infestations with neem oil spray or insecticidal soap.
Diseases
Prevent fungal infections like powdery mildew by maintaining proper airflow and avoiding excessive moisture.
Overgrowth
Manage fast-growing vines with timely pruning to prevent overcrowding.
Poor Flowering
Ensure the plant gets enough sunlight and fertilisation during its growing season for optimal flowering.
