🌱 How to Care for Climbing Snapdragon to Prevent Grey Mould?
💧 How to Water
Keep the soil evenly moist, but allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings. Water at the base to avoid fungal diseases on the leaves, and ensure the soil does not become waterlogged, as this increases the risk of root rot.
☀️ Lighting
Prefers full sun but also does well in light shade, especially in warmer climates. Indoors, the plant should be placed near a bright window to receive enough light for vigorous growth and abundant flowering.
🪴 Ideal Soil
Choose a sandy, nutrient-rich, and well-draining soil. The plant tolerates a wide pH range from slightly acidic to alkaline but thrives best in slightly acidic to neutral soil.
