How to grow trumpet creeper and how to climb vines

1. How to grow trumpet creeper

1. Light: Trumpet creeper likes the sun and can only grow normally in an environment with sufficient light. Therefore, no matter which planting method is used, sufficient light must be ensured. The plant needs to be exposed to sunlight for more than 6 hours a day. Lack of light can easily cause yellowing of leaves and affect flowering.

2. Watering: It likes a humid environment, especially in the growing season. Water it regularly to keep the soil moist. But be careful to control the amount of water and avoid waterlogging. During the flowering period, control watering appropriately and reduce the frequency and amount.

3. Fertilization: When planting trumpet creeper, you need to apply base fertilizer. Sufficient nutrients will allow it to grow better in the later stages. Nitrogen fertilizer should be applied after germination, once every half a month. After May, the plant will bloom. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be applied before flowering to promote faster differentiation of flower buds. After the flowers fade, additional fertilizer should be applied to help it recover as soon as possible, but be careful to stop applying fertilizer in winter to avoid fertilizer damage.

4. Soil: The soil for cultivation must be loose, breathable, water-permeable and fertile. It is best to prepare it yourself. Just mix leaf mold, coarse sand and garden soil to meet your needs.

2. How does Trumpet Creeper climb?

For trumpet creepers grown in pots, you can build a trellis around the pot and wrap its branches around the trellis, so that they will grow along the trellis later. However, if you want it to grow more vigorously, you must maintain it according to the above methods.
