As for watering flowering indoor vines, the need for it may vary depending on the season. In summer, the plant requires more moisture, but in winter, watering can be reduced to 1-2 times a week. It is important for vines not only to follow the irrigation schedule, but also to adjust it, if suddenly the grower noticed any changes in the growth rate of the plant, in its appearance, the state of the leaves and the root system. There are several subtleties in watering vines:

• it is best to moisten the soil in the morning, while the temperature is kept within the normal state for the vine;
• water that accumulates or drains into trays must be poured out, otherwise oversaturation with moisture will lead to rotting of the root system;
• if the intensity of irrigation changes from weak to increased, or vice versa, then this must be done smoothly, without making a sharp change in the schedule or intensity. It is very difficult for an indoor liana to quickly rebuild and adapt to new conditions, in which case it is susceptible to various unwanted diseases or viruses. The leaves or lower shoots should not be moistened during watering, as this can negatively affect the plant. Thus, vines are especially sensitive to watering, which must be taken into account, because these plants are whimsical to care for.

• The state of the plant's leaf system will depend on the temperature and humidity of the air in the room;
• Loosening for indoor liana is just as important as for any other garden plants. The earth must be ventilated, and the root system will thus be saturated with some useful substances, in the end with oxygen;
• Equally important is the saturation of the soil and the root system with both microelements and macroelements that are contained in fertilizers, solutions, preparations and dressings;
• It is necessary to transplant an indoor liana only if the root system has grown too much, that is, only at the request of the plant itself.
