How to Care for the Plant
Water
It is very drought tolerant, water deeply but infrequently in summer. It doesn’t like a wet winter when the tuber is dormant (after shedding its leaves), but will survive. Over-watering is the most frequent cause of failure when growing Ibervillea, and should be kept on the dry side.
Pruning
Remove the spent branches. Leaf tips have a tendency to dry and be brown in the house, so if possible place it outside in the summer.
Fertilizer
Fertilize them only once during this period.

Sunlight
Keep the root in the shade, light shade to full sun for the vine.
Soil
Grows in a rich, very well drained, preferably stony and drained soil mix.
Temperature
When it drops its leaves protect from frost and stop watering. It is hardy to -7 degrees Celsius if kept dry. However warmth throughout the year will increase the grower’s success (at temperatures from 5 to 10 degrees centigrade during rest season).

Container
Indoors they are often grown in shallow pots, with a tuft of wining stems emerging from a bulbous stem that seems to erupt from the soil.
