Water: Orange climber thrives in dry conditions, exhibiting high drought tolerance. It requires watering approximately every three weeks and prefers well-drained soil. Resilient to seasonal rainfall, orange climber is suitable for temperate climates, adapting well to varying weather patterns.

Fertilize: For orange climber, use balanced fertilizers (N-P-K) during growth and high-nitrogen formulas bimonthly. Water before fertilizing to enhance nutrient uptake. Adjust feeding in winter dormancy, following package instructions for effective and safe use. Benefits include improved vigour and flowering.

Pruning: Orange climber thrives with early spring pruning to manage size and boost growth. Trim overgrown stems, and remove dead or diseased wood for better air circulation. Cutting above leaf nodes promotes new shoots, ensuring a robust plant while preventing pests and enhancing foliage density.

Propagation: Orange climber is a vigorous woody vine that produces small orange to red berries. Propagation involves taking cuttings from healthy plants with at least one node, using a well-draining medium. High humidity and indirect light promote root development, with regular misting to maintain moisture.
