Water: Cyclea racemosa is drought-tolerant and prefers fluctuating soil moisture. Watering every three weeks is ideal for its hydration. As an indoor plant, periodic misting is beneficial to maintain humidity, mimicking its natural environment and keeping its foliage vibrant and healthy.

Fertilize: For optimal care of cyclea racemosa, use balanced fertilizers monthly during growing seasons and reduce during dormancy. Prefer high-nitrogen options in active growth. Avoid over-fertilization to prevent root burn and consider gradual-release formulas. Adjust practices seasonally for sustained health.

Pruning: Cyclea racemosa benefits from early spring pruning to eliminate dead or diseased branches, encouraging new growth. Thinning crowded areas improves air circulation and light, enhancing vitality and reducing pest risks while maintaining aesthetic appeal.

Propagation: Cyclea racemosa thrives in subtropical regions and propagates well from cuttings taken from healthy, non-flowering stems. Use a sharp tool for clean cuts and ensure a well-draining medium. Consistent moisture and warmth aid rooting while preventing rot, allowing for strong root establishment.
