How to keep Ipomoea Blepharophylla.
Temperature
Fringe Glory comes from tropical areas, where the climate is usually warm and humid. As a result, it is well adapted to high temperatures and humidity. It does not tolerate sudden temperature changes and prefers a stable thermal environment, so it is important to prevent temperature fluctuations indoors. It generally cannot withstand cold and requires warmer temperatures to grow. If the surrounding temperature falls too low, the plant may stop growing or even die.
Fertilizer
Fringe Glory requires the most fertilizer during its active growth phase, which takes place mainly in spring, summer, and early fall. Fertilization is necessary to supply essential nutrients that may be missing from the soil, encouraging healthy root and stem growth as well as the attractive foliage that is a defining characteristic of this plant.
