Top Tip
Install a strong trellis or pole system to support Humulus vines as they grow quickly and need ample vertical space for optimal development.
How to Water
Water Humulus plants regularly, ensuring the soil stays moist but not waterlogged. Once established, they are more drought-tolerant, but consistent watering promotes healthier growth and larger yields.
How to Plant
Plant Humulus plants in full sun and well-draining soil. Space plants 90-120cm apart to allow for their vigorous growth. Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the root ball, place the plant, and cover with soil. Add a support structure for climbing.
