Water: Hogvine thrives in high humidity and consistent moisture, needing weekly watering for lush growth. In indoor settings, increased humidity is beneficial. Ensure adequate drainage in containers to avoid waterlogging, satisfying hogvine's preference for moist yet well-drained soil.

Fertilize: Hogvine requires balanced nutrition fertilizers bimonthly during the growing season for optimal health, enhancing growth and vigor. Avoid over-fertilization to prevent root burn. In dormancy, switch to quarterly applications. A slow-release formula is advisable, and always water after application for effective nutrient absorption.

Pruning: Hogvine is a vigorous climbing vine requiring early to late spring pruning for healthy growth and flowering. Remove dead stems and thin overcrowded areas to enhance airflow. Use clean, sharp tools to prevent disease and consult local guidelines for optimal care.

Propagation: Hogvine is a vigorous ornamental climber adaptable to various soils. Propagate using healthy, disease-free cuttings, making angled cuts below nodes. Apply rooting hormone, plant in fertile, well-draining substrate, and maintain consistent moisture and warmth to encourage successful root formation.
