Jiaogulan can live as a pure houseplant or stand permanently in the garden bed. So check carefully where your copy is better kept. The criteria for the choice of location are obvious. It is the living conditions at home that the plant can also use here in this country.

Jiaogulan in the open air
In its Asian homeland, the hardy immortality herb grows in thickets, crowded with other plants that take the sun away from it. As a result, the plant has learned to live in the shade.
Jiaogulan can get along with sunny locations in this country, but the sun is only allowed to show up in the morning and evening. Otherwise, preference should be given to planting in a sheltered place in the semi-shade. In the shade, the plant grows healthily, but stays smaller.
Jiaogulan as a houseplant
Indoors, Jiaogulan is often cultivated as a hanging plant. A partially shaded or sunny location is also ideal here:
- Midday sun should be avoided
- West and east windows are ideal
- the more humid the air, the better the plant grows
- Bathroom with window is ideal location
tips
If the leaves curl up, the location may be too sunny. Move the plant further away from the window.
location for wintering
An immortality herb, which roots outside in a tub in summer, needs a new location in winter where it can safely overwinter. A bright room with 15 to 20 ° C is ideal. A dark room is also an option for hibernation, but the plant should then be cut back to a hand's breadth.
Plan lots of space
Jiaogulan grows quickly and can reach heights of up to 3 m. Also choose the location from the point of view of space. It must also be possible to set up a stable climbing aid.
observe growth behavior
If you can watch this plant grow then you know it likes the location. If they are hesitant to sprout, or if growth even comes to a standstill, you should move as soon as possible.
