How to care for Seagrape

Difficulty

With a bit of knowledge and dedication, you can successfully care for Seagrape, making it a rewarding choice for those seeking a moderate challenge.

Water

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

Lighting

To ensure optimal growth, the Seagrape prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. 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 Seagrape plants to go dormant and their growth rate may slow down. Therefore, the amount of waterings should be spaced out more.
