Maidenhair Vine

A versatile and elegant climber, perfect for adding soft, cascading greenery to any space. With its fine, wiry stems and small, glossy green leaves, it creates a delicate, natural curtain of foliage, making it ideal for use as a groundcover, in hanging baskets, or climbing over trellises. This hardy vine is drought-tolerant and thrives in full sun to partial shade, requiring minimal care. Its graceful, cascading habit works beautifully to soften hard edges in pots, drape over garden features, or enhance indoor areas with fresh, lush greenery. Not only is it a low-maintenance plant, but it also attracts beneficial insects and helps purify the air, making it a perfect choice for both aesthetic appeal and environmental health.
How to grow

Position:Maidenhair Vine thrives in full sun to partial shade. It can tolerate some shade but will grow more vigorously with plenty of sunlight. For best results, plant it in an area with good light exposure, whether it’s climbing a trellis, spilling over containers, or covering the ground.

Soil: It prefers well-drained soil that is slightly acidic to neutral. While it’s tolerant of different soil types, providing a light, fertile soil will encourage better growth. If your soil is clay-heavy, amend it with organic matter to improve drainage.

Watering: Maidenhair Vine is quite drought-tolerant once established, but it still needs regular watering during its early growth stages. Keep the soil moist, but not soggy, especially during hot, dry periods. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure good drainage.

Feeding: Fertilize in spring with a balanced, slow-release fertiliser to support healthy growth. Once established, it doesn’t require much feeding, as it’s naturally a low-maintenance plant.
