Plant Care
Light:
Place the plant in bright light, full sun, or partial sun. Gradually acclimate newly delivered plants before exposing them to intense afternoon sunlight.
Water:
Water when the top inch of soil begins to feel dry. Avoid allowing the pot to remain in standing water.
Soil:
Use fertile, well-draining potting soil. A container with drainage holes is strongly recommended.
Support:
Provide a trellis, fence, arbor, or other structure for the vine to climb as it grows.
Temperature:
Purple Garlic Vine performs best in warm conditions. Protect the plant from frost and cold weather. Gardeners in cooler climates may grow it in a container and move it indoors when temperatures drop.
After Delivery
Live plants may experience temporary yellowing, leaf drop, or wilting because of shipping stress. Unpack the plant promptly, water only if the soil feels dry, and place it in bright indirect light for several days before moving it to stronger sunlight.
Avoid repotting or fertilizing immediately after delivery. Allow the plant time to acclimate first. Please check How to Care for Live Plants After Shipping
