    Watering may be needed approximately 1-2 times a week, depending on the temperature and humidity in the room. Make sure the soil remains lightly moist, but not too wet. It is important to regularly check the plant for dryness to prevent dehydration.

    The Passiflora aurantia prefers a bright location with indirect sunlight and can get burned in direct sunlight. It is therefore better to keep the plant out of direct sunlight to prevent damage to the leaves. It is best to place the plant in a spot where it receives enough light, but not direct sunlight.
