Bryonia is a genus of robust, perennial climbing vines known for their vigorous growth habits. Basic Care Needs require a position with full sun to partial shade, well-draining, moderately fertile soil, and consistent watering regimens without waterlogging. Common Challenges include susceptibility to pests like aphids and cucumber beetles, along with diseases such as powdery mildew. Seasonal Considerations involve reducing water intake during dormancy in winter, vigilance for pest outbreaks in spring and summer, and support for their vigorous growth during these warmer seasons.
