Dioscorea communis or Tamus communis is a species of flowering plant in the yam family Dioscoreaceae and is commonly known as black bryony, lady's-seal or black bindweed.
Black bryony is resistant to disease and typically does not get sick. In terms of care, this plant is fairly low-maintenance. When grown outdoors it needs only occasional watering, and larger specimens usually do not require pruning. Smaller specimens, however, should be pruned after they finish blooming. Black bryony is suitable for anyone with an outdoor area, such as a garden or a deck, and does not need a lot of gardening experience.
How to keep Tamus Communis.
Light
Black bryony thrives with abundant sunlight but can also grow healthily in places where the light is less intense. Its native habitat suggests an ability to tolerate a variety of light levels. Nonetheless, either too much or too little sun can cause poor growth.
Humidity
This plant will thrive in moderate humidity, which is probably the level in your home. However, misting it a few times a week can be very beneficial. Make sure the room has good ventilation.
Temperature
Black bryony is native to habitats with a cool to mild temperature range, specifically 41 to 77 °F (5 to 25 ℃). It does best in these conditions, although occasional seasonal temperature adjustments may be necessary.
Fertilizer
Fertilize your Black bryony in early spring to encourage healthy growth. Regular feeding improves overall health, producing vigorous growth, greater tolerance of harsh conditions, and increased resistance to pests and diseases. Stick to a consistent fertilization schedule for your Black bryony to keep foliage vibrant, deeply colored, and lush.
