How to grow the love vine so that it has more leaves? What should I do if the leaves are getting smaller?

1. Suitable temperature

The love vine prefers a warm climate and can tolerate certain high temperatures, but is more afraid of cold. It usually grows faster when the temperature is 15-25℃. It should not be lower than 10℃ in winter, otherwise it will be easily frostbitten. It needs to be moved to a warm place indoors in time, or cover the upper part of the plant with plastic tape to keep warm.

2. Water appropriately

The tubers of the love vine are very large and have the ability to store water. Therefore, it is very drought-resistant and does not need to be watered frequently. Too much water will be detrimental to its growth. Usually you only need to water the plant thoroughly after the soil is completely dry. If there is water accumulation, it needs to be drained immediately to avoid root rot.

3. Proper shade

The love vine is suitable for growing in a scattered light environment. Strong light can easily cause the leaves to be burned, so be sure to pay attention to shade. It should not be exposed to direct sunlight in the summer. In spring, autumn and winter, it can be exposed to the sun every morning, but the time should not exceed two hours. In addition, the environment should not be too dark, otherwise it will cause it to grow too tall.

4. Reasonable fertilization

During the growth process of the love vine, it needs to be properly fertilized and have sufficient nutrients to make it grow more luxuriantly. Fertilizers are generally nitrogen-based, and you can also choose high-nitrogen compound fertilizers, but do not apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. Once excessive, it will easily cause the leaves to stop developing and make them smaller and smaller.
