The pipe winch is very robust and hardy. Once planted, it requires little maintenance. Water frequently, cut occasionally - that's really all it takes to properly care for pipe vines.
The pipevine needs a lot of water
How is the pipe winder cast correctly?
Pipe bindweed develops a large number of large leaves and therefore needs a lot of moisture. On hot days, the climbing plant must also be watered several times.
The pipe winch does not tolerate waterlogging at all. Make sure the soil stays nice and loose and permeable.
Do pipe winches have to be fertilized?
In the first few years, a pipevine grows slowly. Later you can almost watch her grow. Therefore, only fertilize the plant if you want a growth spurt.
Why does the pipe winch need a trellis or climbing frame?
The tendrils of the pipe bindweed hang like lianas up to ten meters in the air. A stable climbing frame or a trellis on the house wall is therefore absolutely necessary.
How is the pipe bindweed cut?
Pipe winches are very well tolerated by pruning. You should thin out the plant every two to three years. If it gets too big, cut it down to four inches. The pipe winch reliably drives out again.
What should be considered when caring for the bucket?
- Water more often
- fertilize occasionally
- Replace soil every two to three years
- protect from frost in winter.
What diseases and pests can occur?
Yellow leaves indicate a fungal disease called Aristolochia mosaic. Cut off affected shoots. Make sure the plant is airy.
If the humidity is too low, spider mites attack the plant.
Is the pipevine hardy?
Pipe vines are hardy and do not require winter protection. You only have to protect the climbing plant from frost if it is grown in a bucket. The bucket is placed on an insulating base and wrapped with bubble wrap, garden fleece or jute.
The biggest problem in winter is the risk of dehydration. The plant is therefore watered regularly on frost-free days.
tips
If you plant a pipe bindweed to green a house wall, make sure that all joints are tight beforehand. Otherwise there is a risk that the tendrils will grow into the cracks and damage the masonry.
