Water:
Fence morning-glory thrives in moist soil; water when the surface dries. Ensure full absorption. Regular watering promotes healthy growth—1-2 times daily in summer. Water during cooler parts of the day, avoiding the noon heat.
Fertilize:
Fence morning-glory requires ample fertilizer, particularly organic types during the seedling stage and throughout spring and summer. Use nitrogen fertilizer when repotting (6-8 weeks before spring frosts) and apply foliar fertilizer monthly. In early flowering, use phosphate and potassium fertilizers to enhance blooms. Prefer water-soluble options to avoid root burn.
Pruning:
Fence morning-glory is a vigorous climbing vine with heart-shaped leaves and trumpet-shaped flowers. Prune in early spring to control size, enhance flowering, and maintain air circulation. Regular trimming of overgrown stems and removal of diseased parts ensure the plant remains manageable and visually appealing.
Propagation:
Fence morning-glory can be propagated through sowing or cuttings. For cuttings, take a 10 cm stem, remove 2-3 lower leaves, and cut diagonally. Soak in water until roots develop, then plant in moist soil in a semi-shaded, well-ventilated area for healthy growth.
