The plant will grow in the same conditions as a vine

staking or caging. Plant the seeds as seedlings or
straight into the garden. Seeds should be sown
0.5cm deep about 50-75cm apart in rows 1m -1.5m
apart. Mulch well and keep moist. Sow Oct-Dec in
cool and Temperate areas, Aug-Apr in Subtropical
areas and most of the year in full Tropics
