watering

Crimson glory vine should be watered regularly during the growing season. It is best to water deeply and infrequently, rather than lightly and frequently. Water about once a week, or every 5–7 days. Make sure the soil is completely moistened and that no water is allowed to pool in the bottom of the pot. Allow the soil to slightly dry between waterings; when the top inch or 2 of soil feels dry to the touch, it is time to water again. In winter, the plant should be kept on the drier side, so water just enough to keep the soil from drying out completely.

sunlight

Crimson glory vines need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight every day for healthy growth and to produce vibrant and abundant foliage. The best time of day for them to receive sunlight is during the morning hours, when the sun is not yet too hot and the light is bright and strong. During the afternoon, it is okay for these vines to receive some indirect sunlight, but direct sunlight is still best for plants in order to stimulate adequate photosynthesis and healthy growth. Crimson glory vines prefer to be exposed to the sun for several hours in a day, especially during the growing season.

pruning

The crimson glory vine is a vigorous plant species and should be pruned at least once a year to maintain its shape and limit overgrowth. Pruning should be done in late winter just before the new growth of the spring, or in early spring after the last frost. When pruning the crimson glory vine it is best to remove dead, diseased, or damaged branches first. It is also important to thin out the vine, cutting off the excess growth and allowing more light and air to reach the inner parts. Pruning back the vine should be done in moderation, as too much pruning can reduce flowering and may cause other issues for the plant.
