Signs of Overwatering
Yellowing leaves combined with soil that stays soggy for days after watering point to roots that are struggling to breathe.
Signs of Underwatering
Leaves and unopened flower buds droop and can drop entirely if the soil dries out during bud formation.
Adjusting for the Seasons
Needs a distinct cool period (around 10-13°C) for 6-8 weeks in winter to trigger its famously fragrant spring bloom - too warm year-round and it may not flower well.
Pro Tip
Give it something to climb, like a small trellis or hoop - left untrained, the twining stems tangle into a dense mat that's harder to manage and prune.
