Flower Garden bindweed loves places well-lit by the sun's rays, if all of them are already occupied, but a light partial shade is quite suitable. However, in semi-shady places, flowering may suffer, it will not be so bright and extensive. This plant loves moisture, especially in hot weather, so it is necessary that the soil passes and retains moisture well.

If the bindweed does not have enough moisture, then it can begin to shed its formed buds. It is necessary to loosen the soil about once a week, this is done so that too much moisture does not evaporate.

Peat mulching will reduce the appearance of weeds, help in regulating temperature and water conditions, and will also enhance the activity of microbiological elements. For this process, it is better to use low-acid, already rotted peat with fifty percent moisture.
