Low False Bindweed

Seashore False Bindweed is a low-maintenance plant species and will only need occasional watering. It should be watered once a week during the warmer summer months and approximately once every 2 weeks during the cooler winter months. When watering, it is important to make sure the soil is moist, but not soggy. Additionally, it is important not to over water, as this can lead to root rot. Furthermore, high humidity and a good dose of morning sun (about 5-6 hours) are important for the health of the plant, so it may benefit from misting while in bloom.

Seashore False Bindweed (Calystegia soldanella) prefers full sun for best growth and bloom. The plant should be placed in an area that receives 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day. Growth is best when the plant is given full sun during the morning hours, when sufficient water is available during the growing season. This species does not tolerate shade and should not be placed in an area that receives less than 4 hours of direct sunlight each day. Direct sunlight is most important to the plant in the morning, as this is when it is actively growing and producing flowers.

Seashore False Bindweed (Calystegia soldanella) should generally be pruned in early spring before the plant starts to produced new growth or in late summer after flowering has finished. Pruning should focus mainly on removing and cutting back old, woody stems and dead or weakened foliage. If needed, it can also be lightly pruned to maintain desired shape or size. It is important to leave some of the old stems that are flowering each year for continuous blooming. Take care not to prune too much, as the plant may be over-stressed and die.
