Cardiospermum , often referred to as balloon vine or heartseed, boasts a moderate care profile, in need of full sun to partial shade exposure and well-drained soil. Water requirements are modest, typically needing frequent watering during growth periods and reduced in dormancy. The plant thrives in temperate climates and may struggle if overexposed to cold or extreme heat. Common challenges include aphids, powdery mildew, and leaf spot. Seasonal considerations involve more careful monitoring of water and light exposure during extreme seasons, with winter often demanding indoor protection in colder regions.
