Ampelocissus martini ( Cambodian Wild Grape ) 5 Seeds

Requires a coarse, well-draining, mineral-rich mix. A blend of 50% garden soil, 30% pumice or perlite, and 20% vermicompost works well. Avoid heavy clay that retains excessive moisture around the tuber.

Thrives in bright, filtered light. In the Indian climate, protect from the harsh midday sun (12 PM–4 PM) to prevent leaf scorch, but avoid deep shade which causes etiolation.

Strictly seasonal. During the Indian monsoon and warm growing season, water thoroughly when the top inch of soil is dry. In winter, the vine may shed leaves and enter dormancy; significantly reduce watering (once a month) to prevent tuber rot until new growth emerges in spring.
