Ampelopsis grow best in a moist to average, well-drained soil, in full sun to partial shade. Prune out dead wood in the spring. To keep a dense habit and young, colourful foliage, prune the entire plant back to 30 cm every 3 years. Ampelopsis need a trellis or wires to cling to for support.
Invasive. It spreads very quickly since birds and mammals eat and thus disperse the seeds.
Grow Me Instead recommends Parthenocissus quinquefolia or Lonicera sempervirens spp as possible alternatives.
