Trumpet creeper's requirements for light and soil acidity and alkalinity

1. Trumpet creeper's requirements for light

Trumpet creeper likes the sun and has high requirements for light. During the growth period, it is necessary to ensure sufficient light so that it can grow vigorously and bloom normally. If there is a lack of light, the branches of the plant will easily grow too tall and the leaves may turn yellow, seriously hindering normal growth. During the growing season, the plant needs to be exposed to sunlight for more than 6 hours a day. In winter, the temperature is low and the light is soft, so it is best to get sunlight all day, which is beneficial for wintering.

2. Trumpet creeper's requirements for soil acidity and alkalinity

Trumpet creeper does not have very high requirements for soil, and ordinary garden soil can meet its needs, as long as it is not particularly sticky. It is best to use loose, well-drained and neutral soil for maintenance, or slightly acidic soil, but the alkalinity cannot be too high. If it is potted, you can mix it with leaf mold, garden soil and coarse sand. The prepared soil is more conducive to later growth and management. Please note that it must be disinfected before use.

3. Trumpet creeper’s water requirements

Trumpet creeper likes a humid environment and has high requirements for water. During management, it is necessary to water it frequently to keep the soil moist. But please note that it is not water-tolerant and there should not be any accumulation of water in the soil, otherwise the roots will easily rot. In addition, the amount of water should be controlled in summer and winter. Water evaporates quickly in summer, so you need to increase the amount of water and water it every day. The growth is slow in winter due to the low temperature, so you need to control the water and only water it once a month.
