• Pruning: Curtain creeper can be pruned to control its growth and to keep it looking its best. Prune the plant in the early spring or late fall.
• Pests and diseases: Curtain creeper is relatively pest- and disease-resistant. However, it can be susceptible to aphids, mealybugs, and scale. If you see any pests on your plant, treat them with an insecticidal soap or neem oil.

With proper care, curtain creeper can thrive for many years. It is a beautiful and easy-to-grow plant that can add a touch of tropical flair to your garden.

Here are some additional tips for growing and caring for curtain creeper:

• Mulching: Mulching around the base of the plant will help to retain moisture and keep weeds at bay.
• Support: Curtain creeper needs some support to climb. You can provide support by using a trellis, fence, or other structure.
• Winter care: In cold climates, curtain creeper may need to be brought indoors during the winter. If you keep the plant indoors, place it in a bright, sunny location.
