Caring for Chalice Vines Golden chalice vines are not picky, and perform best in any well-draining soil. Plant it in full sun or partial shade. One important part of caring for chalice vines is providing ample support. The vine is heavy and grows fast, so it needs a sturdy frame or support so it can climb.

How do you keep a vine alive?
Because vines tend to grow voraciously and often without regard to parameters, care of indoor vines requires regular pruning, training onto a trellis or the like, and monitoring water and food needs. Often indoor climbing plants are sold in hanging baskets so the vining arms dangle down from the pot.
How do you maintain vines?
A Vine-by-Vine Guide to Pruning. Some vines don't have to be pruned every year, but all vines need basic care: Remove dead, damaged, and diseased stems; stems that are tangled or head in the wrong direction; stems that are weak or unproductive; unwanted suckers; and spent flowers.
Is Solandra maxima poisonous?
Symptoms: All parts of the plant are thought to be toxic. If ingested, symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, headache, dilated pupils, temperatures and delirium.
How do you grow a Solandra maxima?
Solandra maxima can grow in full sun or semi-shade exposure. They resist occasional and light frosts. They grow in any type of soil that has good drainage. Water moderately in spring and summer (once a week); they are drought resistant plants.
Do vines like direct sunlight?
Place the vine in the right light exposure for the particular plant. Although growing requirements vary, most plants require at least four hours of sunlight per day. Most don't do well in bright, direct light, especially during the summer, and most don't perform at their best in total shade.
What happens if you don't prune grape vines?
The disadvantage of not pruning enough is that the plants produce a lot of foliage that becomes shade. This limits the plant's ability to set fruit buds for the following year. So, you have a lot of foliage growth, and then it just becomes a jungle. This is a grape plant that has been properly pruned.
How do you encourage vine growth?
To encourage bushy growth on young vines, pinch out the stems' terminal buds. If you want just a few vertical stems, though (for a tracery of growth around a column, for example), don't pinch. Instead, remove all but one or two long stems at the base.
Where do you cut vines?
Look for a shoot that is free of any disease at the end of the vine. Use a pair of sharp scissors to trim off a cutting that is 4 to 6 inches in length. Make the cut from the current season`s new growth, just below a leaf joint. Remove leaves from the bottom third of the cutting using your hands.
