How to care for Great Bindweed

Difficulty

With its straightforward care requirements, Great Bindweed is a hassle-free plant that anyone can enjoy.

Water

Great Bindweed should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Soil

Great Bindweed 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

Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

Dormancy

During the wintertime, it is common for Great Bindweed plants to go dormant and their growth rate may slow down. Therefore, the amount of waterings should be spaced out more.
