Water: Fish poison climber thrives in dry conditions, requiring infrequent watering every three weeks to prevent oversaturation. With roots adapted to store moisture, fish poison climber has high drought tolerance and follows a growth cycle aligned with seasonal rains in warmer climates, influencing its active growth and dormancy periods.
Fertilize: For optimal care, fish poison climber requires a balanced fertilizer rich in micronutrients every two months. 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.
Propagation: Fish poison climber is a climbing plant that propagates well from semi-hardwood cuttings. Use well-draining soil and maintain moisture without overwatering. Applying rooting hormone can improve success. Provide a warm, humid environment, and gradually acclimatize rooted plants for successful outdoor establishment.
