2. In spring and autumn, when the green vines are growing, you can water them more frequently to keep the soil moist, which can promote faster growth. However, in winter, do not water them too much. Even if you don't water them for two weeks or half a month, it's fine. Slightly drier potting soil is better for them to survive the winter. If the indoor temperature is high and the air is dry, you can increase the frequency and amount of watering, and you can also spray water on the green vine leaves. However, when the temperature is low, reduce watering and avoid spraying water.
3. In winter, do not repot or change the soil for green vines, and do not prune or fertilize. Do this in spring or autumn instead. A little bit of compound fertilizer scattered in the pot is enough. They will grow lush and green. If you don't want them to grow too long and the branches to become vines, you can prune them a few times a year. This will keep the plant smaller and take up less space without growing too lush.
