You’ll need to determine the exact care requirements for your specific plant. However, drip systems or soaker hoses are always a good watering method. You can also use watering basins around the plant base to help direct water to the roots. Adding about 1 to 3 inches of mulch will also help conserve water and suppress weeds.

Most vines benefit from a regular fertilizing program. An all-purpose fertilizer that is higher in nitrogen (the first number on the fertilizer package) is the best choice for stimulating growth. Fertilize newly established plants when you plant them. Established plants should be fertilized early in the growing season. Follow up if the plants aren’t performing well, and stop fertilizing six weeks before the first expected frost.
