Plant Care: Thunbergia plant is a easy growing creeper. Thunbergia coccinea plants need direct sunlight for good growth. However, they can grow well in a partially shady location, also. They can grow best when planted in a place with plenty of morning light.

For a this plant, you need well-draining soil. This type of soil ensures excess water drains through the plant pot. This prevents all that extra water from building up in the soil. When there’s too much water in your plant’s soil, it blocks the oxygen from getting through to the roots. The lack of oxygen to a plant’s roots can cause root rot. Root rot is just as the name sounds. It’s when the roots of a plant start to rot away. Fertilize once in a month. Loosen the topsoil without disturbing the roots of the plant so it can uptake the nutrients and moisture easily
