Fertilizing

Acid shrub feed every four weeks spring and summer time

Pruning

Propagation

Take softwood cuttings in early to mid-summer or semi-ripe cuttings in late summer

Growing

Grow against a wall, fence or into a large tree. Self clinging, it will attach itself to surfaces by aerial roots. Though shade tolerant, it flowers best in a sunny situation. Plant 60cm (2ft) from support and tie in until established
