Garlic Vine Cultivation Methods and Precautions
This article introduces the cultivation methods of garlic vine and related maintenance precautions, which will certainly help you. Let's learn about it together!
Garlic vine is an evergreen climbing plant that originally grew in tropical regions such as South America and is also distributed in South China. It is not only easy to cultivate but also has high ornamental value, usually blooming in autumn or winter. Its flower color changes over time.
Garlic Vine Cultivation Methods
1. Light
Garlic vine enjoys light, so its planting and cultivation should be as much as possible in a well-lit and warm climate. If there is insufficient light, the blooming of garlic vine will be greatly affected, possibly resulting in fewer and smaller flowers or even no flowers.
2. Temperature
Garlic vine prefers a higher temperature environment, generally suitable for growth between 21 and 28 degrees Celsius. Therefore, it grows most vigorously in summer and autumn. When winter comes and temperatures drop, garlic vine will stop growing in cold conditions and requires an ambient temperature of above five degrees.
3. Watering
The water requirement of garlic vine, like other plants, varies with temperature changes. In summer, with high temperatures and significant transpiration, more watering is needed. In winter, with low temperatures and possible stoppage of growth, the watering frequency can be slowed down, generally watering every three to four days.
Garlic Vine Maintenance Precautions
Because the smell of garlic vine flowers resembles that of garlic, many insects avoid it, making it less prone to pests and generally not requiring insecticide sprays.
Additionally, garlic vine is a vine plant that continuously climbs freely during growth, resulting in tangled branches. Therefore, in the spring of each year, we can prune the tangled leaves of garlic vine to make it more aesthetically pleasing.
The aforementioned precautions for garlic vine maintenance and the related explanation of cultivation methods are hoped to bring a little help to your life!
