Planting Instructions
1. Choosing a Location:
Select a sunny spot with at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily.
Ensure the area has well-drained soil to prevent waterlogging.
2. Soil Preparation:
Amend the soil with organic matter like compost to improve fertility and drainage.
Aim for a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0 to 7.0).
3. Planting:
Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and the same depth.
Gently remove the plant from its container, loosening any tightly bound roots.
Place the plant in the hole, ensuring the crown is level with the soil surface.
Backfill the hole with soil and tamp it down lightly to remove air pockets.
4. Watering:
Water the plant thoroughly after planting.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy, especially during the first few weeks as it establishes.
5. Support Structure:
Provide a trellis or support for the vine to climb. You can use a wooden trellis, fence, or even a wall.
Train the vines to grow upwards as they develop.
6. Mulching:
Apply a layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
