The suitable growing temperature for Bleeding Heart Vine is 18-30°C from February to October, and 13-16°C from October to February of the following year. In winter the temperature should not be lower than 8°C, otherwise in mild cases the leaves will drop, and in severe cases the young stems will wither.

◆ Bleeding Heart Vine is sensitive to water. During the stem and leaf growth period, keep the saline soil moist, but do not overwater; too much water will cause it to grow only vines without flowering, and may even cause the leaves to turn yellow and drop, and the roots to rot and die. In winter, reduce watering to let it go dormant so it can overwinter safely. In the hot summer season, water thoroughly and provide appropriate shade.

◆ Bleeding Heart Vine needs sufficient light in winter; insufficient light will cause vine-like growth and no flowering. Stronger light promotes flower bud differentiation and development. It should not be placed in darkness for long periods.

After repotting, water thoroughly and place in a shady spot to recover; after recovery, move it to a sunny place for care.

◆ Fertilizing: Do not fertilize too much. During the flowering season, apply 1 dose of fully rotted dilute cake fertilizer water every 7-10 days, for 3-4 consecutive applications. If yellowing is observed, apply 0.2% ferrous sulfate solution, which will gradually turn the leaves from yellow back to green.
