Light: Coral vine thrives in full sun to partial shade. It needs at least 6 hours of sunlight per day to bloom profusely.
Soil: It prefers well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. A mix of garden soil, compost, and sand works well.

Pest and diseases: Coral vine is relatively pest and disease-resistant. However, it can be susceptible to aphids, mealybugs, and spider mites. Monitor your plant regularly and treat any infestations promptly.
