Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you receive your 9cm pot, transplant it into a hole twice the width of the root ball. Ensure the soil is moist but well-drained; if your native soil is heavy clay, mix in organic matter to improve drainage. This plant is compatible with most garden structures including wooden pergolas, wire meshes, and stone walls. For long-term care, prune the plant after flowering to encourage dense growth and shape it according to your trellis dimensions. Mulch around the base in spring to keep the root zone cool and retain moisture during the summer heat.
