watering
Water Japanese hydrangea vine (Schizophragma hydrangeoides 'Roseum') deeply and thoroughly, 1 to 2 times each week. Make sure to water until the soil is completely saturated and the excess water is draining through the bottom of the pot. Allow the soil to dry out a bit between waterings, so it's not damp or soggy. During warm weather or times of active growth, water more frequently to keep the soil moist. In winter in cooler climates, reduce watering considerably and do not allow the soil to become soggy. Always check the moisture level before watering.
sunlight
Japanese hydrangea vines (Schizophragma hydrangeoides 'Roseum') do best with full sun or partial shade and benefit from 8 to 10 hours of sunlight each day. The best time of day for the plant to receive sunlight is between mid-morning and early afternoon when the light is most intense and the temperature is warmer. Avoid direct sunlight, particularly in the hottest times of the day, when it could potentially damage the plant's delicate petals.
pruning
For Japanese hydrangea vine (Schizophragma hydrangeoides 'Roseum'), it is best to prune back in early spring, prior to new growth. Prune to shape and promote new, vigorous growth. Remove dead or diseased wood and crossing branches to maintain a healthy and attractive shape. Lightly prune the tips of new growth for better air circulation and to prevent overcrowding. If desired, plants can be pruned back by 1-third for more compact growth.
