How to Fertilize bleeding glory bower?

For optimal growth, bleeding-heart vine thrives with high phosphorus fertilizers, which bolster blossoming and fortify roots. During the growing season, apply a balanced liquid fertilizer bi-weekly at half-strength. In dormancy (winter), reduce feeding to once a month to avoid nutrient excess. Measure according to the product label to prevent burn. Special care: avoid direct contact with leaves and stems. Seasonal variations in light and temperature will guide adjustments in the feeding schedule, ensuring bleeding-heart vine's vitality.
