Water: Water vicia ramuliflora regularly during its initial fast growth phase, ideally on cloudy mornings to minimize evaporation. Check the top-soil moisture by touch; water only if it's dry. Be cautious of over-watering, as vicia ramuliflora is sensitive to water-logging.

Fertilize: Vicia ramuliflora is a nitrogen-fixing plant that is self-fertile and requires no added nitrogen. Applying high phosphorus fertilizers like triple superphosphate enhances its growth and nutrient absorption. While lime aids growth, avoid over-liming to prevent harm to vicia ramuliflora.

Regular pruning enhances air circulation, reduces pests, and keeps vicia ramuliflora attractive throughout the growing season.
