How to Grow and Care for Kangaroo vine

Kangaroo vine, also known as Water Vine

Kangaroo vine is generally recognized for its hardiness and adaptability, making it relatively easy to care for. It thrives in well-draining soil and prefers a consistent watering schedule, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Special attention should be given to its lighting needs; kangaroo vine performs best in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions, though growth may be less vigorous.

Kangaroo vine is characterized by its vigorous climbing habit, with tendrils that support its growth up to 13 to 20 feet (4 to 6 meters) when outdoors and 7 to 10 feet (2 to 3 meters) indoors. Its adaptability allows it to thrive in various lighting conditions from bright to low light. Indoors, kangaroo vine can be pruned to maintain its shape, demonstrating versatility as both a hanging plant and a trellis climber. This resilience makes kangaroo vine a suitable choice for interior spaces, where its preference for stability necessitates minimal relocation.
