Care Instructions
Pandorea pandorana requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It prefers moderate temperatures and can tolerate some drought once established. Regular watering is necessary during the growing season, but the soil should be allowed to dry out between waterings. This plant also benefits from moderate humidity levels.Soil
The Wonga Wonga Vine prefers well-draining loamy soil. It can tolerate a range of soil types but thrives best in soil that retains some moisture without becoming waterlogged. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.Fertilizer
A balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 is suitable for Pandorea pandorana. Fertilize during the growing season to support vigorous growth and flowering. Reduce feeding during the dormant period.Repotting

Pandorea pandorana can be propagated through seeds or cuttings. Take semi-hardwood cuttings in late spring or early summer. Ensure the cuttings have at least two nodes and plant them in a well-draining propagation mix.Pruning
Pruning is essential to control the growth of this vigorous climber. Prune after flowering to shape the plant and remove any dead or damaged growth. Regular pruning encourages bushier growth and more flowers.Toxicity
Pandorea pandorana is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. However, as with all plants, it is advisable to prevent pets and children from ingesting any plant material.Additional
