Growing Tips for Your Candy Corn Plant

To ensure your Candy Corn Plant thrives, follow these simple growing tips:

• Watering: Reduce watering during winter months and increase as the growing season begins. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent fungus.
• Fertilizing: Avoid overfeeding; use a slow and steady approach with fertilizer.
• Soil pH: Optimize growth by maintaining a soil pH level between 5.5 and 6.5.

Trimming is recommended to manage growth once the plant begins to spread. Ensure adequate spacing to prevent intertwining with other plants. Whether in hanging baskets or pots on the ground, this vine will readily climb and wrap around nearby structures, adding a touch of whimsy to your garden.
