Pyrostegia

Pyrostegia are delicate climbers with tubular, trumpet-like flowers that are often orange or red in color and occur in clusters in winter and summer. In addition to providing a great winter display, they are also an excellent choice for covering fences as they grow rapidly by climbing tendrils. They thrive in tropical forests as well as arid regions but require moisture or shade in order to establish.

Water

Water: Pyrostegia thrives in heavy rainfall followed by dry spells, showcasing high drought tolerance. It requires watering once every three weeks to support healthy growth. As an evergreen, pyrostegia retains hydration through its foliage, making it resilient in outdoor environments with variable water conditions.

Propagation: Propagation of pyrostegia primarily involves stem cuttings and layering, thriving in warm, high-humidity conditions with well-draining, organic-rich soil. Follow these steps for success: take cuttings, use rooting hormone, plant in soilless mix, maintain humidity, provide indirect light, and transplant post-frost.
