How to care for Wild Morning Glory

Difficulty

If you're looking for a plant that offers a moderate level of challenge, Wild Morning Glory is a great choice to test your gardening skills.

Water

Wild Morning Glory should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Soil

Wild Morning Glory loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

Lighting

Wild Morning Glory requires abundant, bright, and direct light to thrive. The best placement for this plant is within one foot of a window to ensure it receives enough light. If you live in an area with more extreme weather, such as hot summers or cold winters, you may need to adjust the placement of the plant accordingly. During hot summer months, it is important to place the plant away from full sun, as this can cause the leaves to yellow or burn. During cold winter months, it is best to move the plant closer to the window to take advantage of the extra light that can help it survive. By keeping an eye on the current weather in your area, you can make sure your Bearbind is always in the right place to thrive.
