Do this when you get home
- Put it on a sunny balcony, and give it a trellis
- The roots like to stay cool. A layer of bark on the soil, or a low plant for shade, helps.
Day to day
- Pruning depends on the type. When you buy it, ask which pruning group it is.
- Stuffy summer heat brings wilt. Give it air.
Common questions
A whole stem suddenly died back?
Usually wilt, or roots that got too hot and too wet. Cut off the dead stems and give it more air.
