✂️ Care

Very easy to grow and low-maintenance. Guide the flexible stems onto a support or structure to create a spectacular vertical display. 

Regularly remove spent flowers to prolong blooming and encourage continuous flower production. Lightly prune after flowering to maintain a balanced and dense shape.

Apply a light mulch at the base to improve drainage and enrich the soil. Minimal intervention required once the plant is established.
