The whistle needs a lot of water

Tips for maintaining the pipe winch

The whistle is very robust and hardy. Once planted, it needs little care. Water frequently, cut occasionally - more is not really necessary to properly care for pipe winds.

How is the pipe wind properly cast?

Pipe winches develop very many large leaves and therefore need a lot of moisture. On hot days, the climber must also be watered several times.

Waterlogging does not tolerate waterlogging at all. Make sure that the soil stays nice and permeable.

Do you have to fertilize your pipe winches?

In the first years, a whistle is growing slowly. Later, you can almost watch her grow. Therefore, only fertilize the plant if you want a growth spurt.

Why does the whistle need a trellis or climbing frame?

The tendrils of the whistle climb like lianas up to ten meters in height. A stable climbing frame or a trellis on the house wall is therefore absolutely necessary.

How is the whistle cut?

Pipe winches are very good cut compatible. Every two to three years you should plant the plant. If it gets too big, cut it down to ten inches. The whistle drives reliably again.

What should be considered when maintaining in the bucket?

Which diseases and pests can occur?

Yellow leaves indicate a fungal disease called Aristolochia mosaic. Cut off affected shoots. Make sure the plant is airy.

If the humidity is too low, spider mites infest the plant.

Is the whistle hardy?

Pipe winches are hardy and do not need winter protection. Only when the climber is pulled in the bucket, you must protect it from frost. The bucket is placed on an insulating base and covered with bubble wrap, garden fleece or jute.

The biggest problem in winter is the risk of dehydration. On frost-free days, the plant is therefore regularly poured.

Tips

If you are planting a whistle to green a house wall, make sure that all joints are tight. Otherwise there is a risk that the tendrils will grow into the cracks and damage the masonry.
