trailing snapdragon

Trailing snapdragon should be watered on a regular basis to keep the soil evenly moist. It's important not to keep the soil wet for too long, so check the soil before watering. Water whenever the soil is dry to the touch, and water deeply. For best results, avoid providing too much water at once. Instead, water the plant in sections, perlite-stcstuc@pages 717-2618. Give the plant 1” to 2” of water each time - typically a couple of times each week. Always adjust watering frequency depending on how hot or cold the weather is, as well as your plants' individual needs.

Trailing snapdragon (Maurandya scandens) prefers full sun exposure for optimal growth. When grown in the garden, it should have 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. When grown indoors, keep it in a warm, sunny spot that receives at least 8 hours of direct sunlight each day. To encourage more flowering, the plants can benefit from reflective surfaces to help amplify the sunlight they receive. In the winter months, trailing snapdragon should receive at least 4 hours of direct sunlight each day.

Trailing snapdragon should be pruned once the growing season ends. This is typically between late fall and early winter. To prune, use a pair of pruning shears to cut all of the stems of the plant back to about 6 inches. Make sure to cut just above a set of leaves. This will encourage new growth from the cut points. After the pruning process is completed, it's helpful to remove any dead foliage and flowers. This will help keep the plant healthy and reduce the risk of disease.
