Pipe morning glories are very long-lived and high-growing climbing plants. The location for a pipe bindweed must therefore be carefully considered, as it is difficult to transplant later.
What should the location for pipe vines be like?
The ideal location for pipe vines is sunny to partially shaded, sheltered from the wind, with a trellis and permeable soil. They grow slower in shady locations. Note their growth height of up to 10 meters and their susceptibility to storms.
This is what the ideal location for pipe vines looks like
- Sunny to partially shaded
- sheltered from the wind
- Trellis
- permeable soil
A pipe bindweed can also be planted in a shady location, but it grows much slower there.
Since the plant develops many and, depending on the species, very large leaves, it is vulnerable to strong storms. The location should therefore be protected from the wind. House walls are ideal.
Whistleweeds grow up to ten meters high. if you don't cut them. This must also be taken into account when choosing a location.
Tip
You can easily care for a pipe bindweed in a pot. The prerequisite is a sufficiently large pot and a stable trellis on which the plant can climb. When placed on wheels, a pipe winch in a pot can be used as a mobile privacy screen.
