How to keep Aristolochia Altissima.
Light
Climbing birthwort does best in spots that get plentiful sun for most of the day, though it will also tolerate locations with only partial sunlight. Insufficient light can stunt its growth, while too much light may cause the foliage to yellow. Its native habitat is characterized by abundant sun exposure.
Temperature
Climbing birthwort is native to temperate regions and prefers temperatures from 59 to 95 °F (15 to 35 ℃). In colder winter months it may require adjustments, such as moving the plant to warmer locations.
Fertilizer
Timing is essential when fertilizing Climbing birthwort. Apply fertilizer in early spring and continue once a month until early summer. Fertilizer aids in producing attractive blooms and supplies energy during both dormant and active growth phases.
