Petrea volubilis ‘White’, also known as White Queen’s Wreath or White Sandpaper Vine, is a beautiful and vigorous flowering vine. Its care is similar to the more common purple variety.
Full Sun is Best: This plant thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day for the best growth and most prolific flowering.
Partial Shade: While it can tolerate some partial shade, especially in very hot and dry climates, it may produce fewer flowers.
Watering
Regular, but Not Soggy: Water your plant regularly, but allow the top 2-3 inches of soil to dry out between waterings.
Drought Tolerance: Once established, it is fairly drought-tolerant, but consistent moisture is key for a healthy and full-looking plant. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Soil
Well-Draining: Petrea volubilis ‘White’ prefers well-draining, fertile, and sandy soil. A good mix will be rich in organic content to support its vigorous growth.
pH: A slightly acidic to neutral pH is ideal.

Fertilizer
Growing Season: During the spring and summer, which are its main growing and blooming seasons, you can feed it with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month.
Boost Blooms: For more abundant flowering, you can use a phosphorus-based fertilizer.
Pruning and Support
Pruning: Regular pruning is essential to maintain the Petrea volubilis ‘White’ plant’s shape and control its size. The best time to prune is after a flowering period, as this encourages new growth and more blooms.
Support: As a semi-climber and semi-shrub, it needs a strong and permanent support structure, such as a trellis, arbor, or fence, to climb. A mature vine can develop a woody trunk, so be sure to give it enough room near structures. It can also be grown in a large container and pruned to be a standalone bush.

Temperature
Tropical Plant: This is a tropical species that is not tolerant of frost. It’s hardy in USDA zones 9B-11.
Protect from Cold: If you live in a cooler climate, it’s best to grow this plant in a container so you can move it indoors during the winter to protect it from temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
