Water: Bellvine thrives in humid, tropical conditions and prefers regular watering twice a week to avoid waterlogging. Best cultivated outdoors, it benefits from natural rainfall and seasonal changes. As an evergreen, bellvine maintains foliage year-round, continuously receiving nature's hydration cycles.

Fertilize: For optimal care of bellvine, apply balanced or high-nitrogen fertilizers every 2-4 weeks during active growth. Adjust strength in dormant periods and apply at soil level to prevent foliage contact. Consistent, careful fertilization promotes growth, flowering, and overall resilience while avoiding overfeeding.

Pruning: Bellvine thrives with strategic pruning, such as removing dead stems and thinning to improve airflow. Prune in early to late spring to support growth and encourage healthier blooms. Making cuts above leaf nodes fosters regrowth, maintaining the plant's structure and vitality.

Propagation: Bellvine is a versatile climber with lush foliage and bell-shaped flowers, thriving in well-drained soil. Propagation via direct sowing is ideal, maintaining consistent moisture while avoiding waterlogging. A warm environment aids germination, and gentle handling is crucial for delicate shoots post-sprouting.
