Water: Himalayan dumasia prefers a habitat with alternating moisture and dryness, needing watering every three weeks. It thrives outdoors, benefiting from natural rain. As a deciduous species, its watering requirements lessen during cooler seasonal dormancy, showcasing moderate drought tolerance.

Fertilize: Himalayan dumasia thrives with balanced nutrition; use high-nitrogen fertilizers bi-monthly during growth. Apply one teaspoon per gallon, avoiding root burn. Adjust for seasons—more in spring, less in winter. Distribute evenly in soil, excluding foliage, and tailor to himalayan dumasia's response for optimal results.

Pruning: Himalayan dumasia is a climbing plant with lush foliage and vibrant flowers. Prune in early spring using clean, sharp tools to encourage healthy growth, enhance flowering, and maintain structure. Regular pruning prevents excessive woodiness, ensuring an attractive appearance throughout its growth cycle.

Propagation: Himalayan dumasia can be propagated via cuttings by selecting healthy stem tips. Cut a 4-6 inch segment below a leaf node, remove lower leaves, and apply rooting hormone. Plant in sterile, well-draining medium, maintaining high humidity and indirect sunlight until roots develop.
