Water: Parthenocissus thrives in high humidity and prefers consistent moisture without being waterlogged. Once established, it tolerates moderate drought. Ideal watering frequency is weekly. As a deciduous outdoor plant, parthenocissus sheds leaves seasonally, affecting its water uptake and conservation strategies.

Propagation: Propagation of parthenocissus is achieved through stem cuttings and seed sowing, requiring bright, indirect light, moderate temperatures, and well-draining soil. Softwood cuttings are best taken in summer while hardwood cuttings are for winter. The process includes snipping, preparing, and caring for cuttings for 4-6 weeks.
