適合全日照至半日照且溫暖潮濕的環境。介質使用一般壤土即可。不耐旱。春秋季每季施用一次長效性肥料。冬季可對植株進行強剪，以控制株形與高度並且可以促進春季旺盛生長新枝於夏季盛花。繁殖採用扦插法或高壓法。

The plant suitably grows in full sun to partial sun, warm and humid environments. Adaptive to common loam soils, not drought-tolerant. Apply long-active fertilizer once a season in spring and autumn. Hard pruning can be performed in winter to control the shape and height, as well as to promote the growth of new shoots in the spring and flowering in the summer. Reproduced by cuttings or air layering.

因為枝條柔軟有攀緣性，常種於圍牆邊任枝條攀緣其上，或種植於駁坎、高花台、花盆，欣賞四散垂曳的枝條與花朵。因為花香太濃郁，或有人因此產生不適症狀，所以不宜種植於空氣鬱閉的不通風處。

Featuring with soft and climbing branches, they are often planted against walls to climb freely. They can also grow on rip raps, high flower platforms, or in pots to display the spreading branches and lovely flowers. Some people may feel unwell because of the rich fragrance, so it’s not suitable to be planted it in a closed and airless place.
