- Sunlight: Cambodian Wild Grapes require full sunlight for at least 6 hours a day. Plant them in a location with plenty of direct sunlight for healthy growth and fruiting.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells. However, avoid overwatering as the plant does not tolerate soggy soil. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
- Soil: Well-drained, slightly acidic soil is ideal for this plant. Amend the soil with organic matter or compost to enrich it and improve drainage. A slightly sandy or loamy texture will work best.
- Temperature: Being a tropical plant, Cambodian Wild Grapes thrive in warm temperatures between 25°C to 30°C. Protect it from frost, as it is sensitive to cold weather.
- Fertilizing: Fertilize the plant every 4-6 weeks during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer. Organic compost can also be used to provide necessary nutrients.
- Support: This grapevine requires support as it grows. Use trellises or arbors to encourage upward growth, which will help the plant produce better fruit.
- Pruning: Prune the plant to remove dead or diseased branches and encourage healthy growth. Proper pruning will also allow better air circulation and sunlight penetration for the vine.
- Pests and Diseases: Regularly check for common pests like aphids or mildew. If necessary, use organic insecticides or remove affected parts by hand.
By following these care tips, your Cambodian Wild Grape plant will thrive and reward you with delicious fruit!
