Light requirements
This vine loves bright, indirect light but can also tolerate a little direct sunlight, especially in the morning. If you're growing it indoors, a sunny window with filtered light is ideal for encouraging those gorgeous, heart-shaped flowers.
Soil preferences, including pH and drainage
Clerodendrum thomsoniae thrives in well-draining, rich, and slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0–7.0). A mix that retains moisture without staying soggy, like a potting soil with added perlite, works well. Good drainage is crucial for avoiding root rot.
Water needs
This plant likes consistent moisture, so water it when the top inch of soil feels dry. Be sure to allow the water to drain properly, as it doesn’t like standing water around its roots. It can tolerate brief dry spells, but it blooms best when kept consistently moist.
