Normal soil.

Façade, privacy screen, bee pasture, bird food plant, small/front garden

Water regularly and allow the soil to dry out in the meantime.

- A slow-release fertiliser can be used in spring. This releases the nutrients slowly and continuously so that the plant is evenly supplied over a longer period of time.
- Nets, rods or trellises - many materials are suitable as climbing aids for delicate climbing plants. However, it is important that the main shoots of the plants are securely attached.

Container plants can be planted all year round, except when the ground is frozen and in summer heat (over 30°C).
