Ipomoea coccinea aka Red Morning Glory

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

Red 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.

Red Morning Glory requires abundant, bright and direct light. Placing it less than one foot from a window is the best way to make sure the plant receives enough light to survive and thrive. Depending on your region, however, the current weather can affect the placement of the plant in your home. For example, in some areas the sun may be too direct and intense, so it's best to place it farther away from the window. You may also need to adjust your placement according to the season as the sunlight can change intensity over the course of the year. If you live in a region with significant temperature fluctuations, such as a desert, you may need to place the plant a bit farther away from the window to avoid extreme heat or cold. With some care and attention, your Red Morning Glory will be sure to bring you many years of beauty and enjoyment.

Red Morning Glory is poisonous if ingested. We suggest keeping this plant out of reach if you have children, cats, or dogs in the home.

The Red Morning Glory is not in need of supplementary humidity. Most water is taken in by plants through their roots, thus soil watering is the most efficient way to provide humidity to your plants.
