Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your tangerine beauty crossvine live plant is straightforward, ensuring a rewarding experience with abundant blooms. This resilient vine prefers a site with full sun to partial shade; for the most prolific flowering, aim for at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. While it can tolerate some shade, too much will reduce flower production. The ideal soil for this crossvine flowering vine is well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral, though it is quite adaptable to various soil types. Good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot, especially in humid conditions.

During its establishment phase, typically the first year after planting, provide moderate watering to help the plant develop a strong root system. Once mature, the crossvine becomes highly drought-tolerant, requiring less frequent watering. Fertilization is generally not heavily needed; a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring can encourage vigorous growth and blooming, but avoid over-fertilizing. Pruning is best done after the main flush of blooms to maintain shape, control size, and encourage new growth. Remove any dead or damaged vines as needed. The Bignonia capreolata Tangerine Beauty is generally pest and disease resistant, making it a robust choice for a healthy garden. Ensure proper air circulation to prevent fungal issues in humid environments. This low-maintenance nature makes it an excellent choice, even for those new to gardening.
