Light:
- It thrives in full sun to partial shade.
- While it can tolerate some shade, it will flower more profusely in full sun.

- Misting the plant or using a humidity tray can help.
Fertilizing:
- Feed your Petrea Racemosa every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer.
Pruning:
- Prune to control its growth and shape.
- Trim back leggy or dead branches regularly.
- Pruning can also be done to encourage more flowers.
Support:
- Provide a trellis or support structure for the vine to climb on, as it is a climbing plant.
Pests and Diseases:
- Watch out for common pests like aphids and spider mites.
- If detected, treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
Repotting:
- Repot when the plant becomes root-bound, typically every 2-3 years.
- Choose a slightly larger pot and fresh potting mix.
