- Growing Difficulty
- Intermediate
- Lifespan
- 20+ years
- Size
- Caudex 10-30cm
- Light & Placement
- Grow in full sun to bright partial shade. The vines grow vigorously in the growing season, so a support to climb on makes management easier.
- Watering
- In the spring-to-autumn growing season, water thoroughly once the soil dries. As growth slows in autumn, reduce frequency in preparation for the winter dry period.
- Temperature & Overwintering
- Cold tolerance is somewhat low and frost damages it, so bring it indoors for winter. Withhold water and overwinter it dry.
- Soil & Repotting
- Use a well-draining mix such as akadama blended with pumice. Plant with the upper part of the caudex above the soil surface.
- Pests & Cautions
- The red-to-orange fruits are toxic and must not be eaten. Choose the location carefully in homes with pets or children.
