Plan your care
Decide early whether the plant will trail or climb. Fit a support while the stems are easy to guide, and check that a trailing plant will not obstruct a shelf or walkway.
Compare moisture near the centre of the pot with the surface before watering. Slower drying in a cooler room calls for a longer interval, not the same amount of water on the same weekday.
Growing tips
Let the top layer of compost begin to dry before watering, while keeping the deeper root ball from drying completely. Keep the pot draining freely and move it away from cold draughts.
