The bell vine must be brought to the warmth in the autumn for wintering
How can the bell vine be wintered?
The bell vine is very heat loving and sensitive to frost. Even temperatures of five degrees damage the plant so sustainably that it enters the sequence. That's why we cultivate the bell-wind in our latitudes mostly one-year-old. However, especially beautiful and vigorous awake specimens can hibernate well in the house.

So that no frost damage occurs, the climbers already have to move when the temperatures begin to fall in the fall. Shorten all shoots to about thirty to fifty centimeters and plant the bell winds in a container filled with commercially available potting soil.
Put this in a bright place on the windowsill. Again, the temperature should not drop below ten degrees. Ideal is a cool bedroom or the staircase. During hibernation, the bell vine is poured restrained and not fertilized.
Tips
Bellwings are very susceptible to the spider mite infestation. Check plants in winter quarters regularly and take appropriate measures to control the pests if necessary.
