How to keep Merremia Dissecta.
Light
Alamo vine thrives in bright light but can cope with somewhat lower light levels. The plant needs substantial light to grow well. In its native habitat it prospered in plentiful sunshine. Both insufficient and excessive light can interfere with its growth.
Temperature
The Alamo vine is naturally adapted to moderate climates with temperatures from 59 to 100.4 °F (15 to 38 ℃). When it favors the warmer end of that range, adjusting temperatures may be necessary to achieve optimal growth in cooler seasons.
Fertilizer
The best time to fertilize an Alamo vine is in early spring, when it’s coming out of dormancy and beginning active growth. Fertilization supplies important nutrients needed for healthy development. Although Alamo vines have relatively low fertilizer requirements, applying fertilizer annually can improve their survival and encourage better, longer-lasting flowers.
