In spring and summer, use high-nitrogen fertilizer at half dosage to promote foliage growth. Avoid direct contact with leaves to prevent damage, ensuring fish poison climber's healthy development and vitality.
Pruning:
Fish poison climber is a vigorous climber with toxic properties. Prune in early spring by removing dead stems and controlling shape to encourage fuller foliage and flowering. Regular trimming prevents invasiveness. Use clean, sharp tools to avoid disease. These practices ensure a thriving plant.
