Ipomoea Cairica, Cairo Morning Glory or Coast Morning Glory 0.8-0.1m

Add to Wishlist

Ipomoea cairica is also known as Cairo morning glory, Cairo morning glory, coast morning glory, coastal morning glory, five-fingered morning glory, five-leaf morning glory, ivy-leaved morning glory, Messina creeper, mile a minute, mile a minute vine, mile-a-minute, mile-a-minute vine, morning glory or railroad creeper.

Ipomoea is one of the most successful climber in UAE, it requires daily watering in summer and alternative day watering in winter.

This species is capable of very rapid growth and can completely smother trees and understorey plants, but it will creep along the ground in the absence of supporting vegetation. Significant infestations may lead to a reduction in biodiversity through the replacement of native vegetation and the displacement of certain native animals. It is particularly common in the coastal districts of eastern Australia, where it often invades river banks and riparian vegetation. It also commonly invades rainforest margins, where it grows over larger trees and smothers tree saplings and understorey shrubs, and is a major problem in littoral rainforest remnants. However, it is also a weed of sandy beachfronts and other coastal environments, drier forests, wetlands, and limestone cliffs.

Coastal morning glory (Ipomoea cairica) is ranked among the top 30 environmental weeds in south-eastern Queensland, and among the 10 worst weeds in Gold Coast City. This species is actively managed by community groups in Queensland and appears on numerous local environmental weed lists in south-eastern Queensland (e.g. in Redland, Noosa and Maroochy Shires). It is also of significant concern in the coastal districts of northern and central New South Wales, where it also appears on several local and regional environmental weed lists (e.g. in Randwick Shire, Strathfield Shire, Lismore City and Sutherland Shire, on the NSW North Coast environmental weed list, and on the Australian Association of Bush Regenerators environmental weed list for the the wider Sydney and Blue Mountains region).

Care Instructions

Sunlight
Optimal Light: Ipomoea Cairica thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. While it can tolerate partial shade, full sun exposure ensures the best growth and most abundant flowering.

Watering
Establishment Period: During the first few months after planting, keep the soil consistently moist to help establish a strong root system.
Regular Maintenance: Once established, water the vine regularly, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. This plant is moderately drought-tolerant but benefits from consistent moisture during the growing season.Avoid Overwatering: Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged soil, which can lead to root rot.

Soil
Well-Draining: Ipomoea Cairica prefers well-draining soil to prevent root rot. Sandy or loamy soils work well.
Nutrient-Rich: While it can adapt to various soil types, enriching the soil with organic matter or compost can enhance growth and flowering.

Fertilization
Balanced Fertilizer: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in the spring to promote vigorous growth. A 10-10-10 (NPK) formula works well.
Monthly Feeding: During the growing season, consider feeding with a diluted liquid fertilizer every month to support continuous blooming.

Pruning
Control Growth: Regular pruning helps manage the vine’s rapid growth and prevents it from becoming invasive. Prune back any excessive growth to maintain the desired shape and size.
Post-Flowering: After the flowering period, trim back the vine to encourage bushier growth and prepare it for the next blooming cycle.

Support Structures
Trellises and Arbors: Provide sturdy support structures such as trellises, arbors, or fences for the vine to climb. This will help it grow vertically and showcase its beautiful flowers.

Training: Gently guide and tie new growth to the support structure to ensure even coverage and avoid tangling.

Pest and Disease Management
Inspect Regularly: Regularly check for common pests such as aphids, spider mites, and caterpillars. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.

Prevent Disease:
Ensure good air circulation around the plant to reduce the risk of fungal diseases. Water at the base of the plant to keep foliage dry and minimize disease development.

By following these care instructions, you can enjoy the lush foliage and vibrant flowers of Ipomoea Cairica, adding beauty and charm to your garden or outdoor space.
