Water: Climbing dicentra thrives in moist conditions and requires consistent hydration. While moderately drought-tolerant, it prefers stable moisture and should be watered weekly. Ideally cultivated outdoors, mulching helps retain soil moisture and protects against temperature fluctuations.

Propagation: Climbing dicentra can be propagated via seed sowing or division in partial shade and well-draining soil. Maintain moisture and temperatures of 15-18°C. Ensure adequate light for germination. Steps: sow seeds shallowly, keep moist, provide light, thin seedlings, and transplant outdoors or divide in spring.
