Trichosanthes laceribractea
Trichosanthes laceribractea grows in dense forests or valleys. As a vine, it can climb upward on other trees or rocks, producing white flowers with fringes that can be easily recognized. After the flowers wither in late autumn, it produces small green fruits with white spots. When the fruit ripens, it turns into large red oval-shaped fruits that are always consumed by some wild animals.

Water: Originating from humid environments, trichosanthes laceribractea requires consistent moisture and high humidity. Moderately drought-tolerant, it thrives with weekly watering, especially during active growth phases that mimic its native rainfall patterns.
Pruning: Prune trichosanthes laceribractea in early to late spring by removing dead or weak growth to enhance its health and promote vigorous flowering. Cut back excessive vine length for manageability. Use sharp, sterilized tools to prevent infection and improve the plant's ornamental value.
Propagation: Trichosanthes laceribractea is propagated by sowing seeds in a well-draining soil mix that retains moderate moisture. Ensure seeds are fresh and planted at the right depth.
