Plant Care Instructions

Watering
Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during the growing season. Allow the top layer of soil to dry out slightly between watering sessions. In summer, increase frequency to prevent dehydration.

Light Requirements
Jacquemontia thrives in full sun and requires a minimum of six hours of direct sunlight each day to produce abundant blooms. It can tolerate partial sun but with reduced flowering.

Temperature
This tropical vine prefers warm weather and performs best in temperatures above 20°C. It is not frost-tolerant and should be protected during cooler months.

Soil
Plant in well-draining garden soil enriched with organic compost. Good drainage is essential to avoid root rot.

Fertilizer
Apply a balanced liquid or granular fertilizer every two to three weeks during the active growing season (spring to early autumn) to support healthy foliage and frequent flowering.

Support and Growth
This climber will benefit from being planted near a trellis, fence, or wall where it can attach and spread. Light training or tying may be needed initially to guide upward growth.

Pruning
Prune lightly after each blooming cycle to encourage new growth and maintain a neat, compact shape. Remove dead or damaged stems to promote vigorous regrowth.
