Tecomaria belongs to the Begonia family
Tecumaria is an evergreen climbing plant. It needs to be fixed to a bracket such as a wall or string to climb on. It can reach up to 7 meters in height and about 6 meters in width. Although it is a climbing plant with multiple stems, it can, with good pruning, become a one-legged and thick plant, which is a flowering plant, and it can also be used as a plant fence by repeated mowing. The plant blooms densely, giving bright scarlet flowers for a long period that extends from the end of autumn to the beginning of summer. It is also called coral climber
The leaves are feathery, dark green complex, with luster at the top surface, and their length ranges from 8 to 15 cm. Frequent irrigation and fertilization results in a robust plant with large, high quality leaves. It is drought tolerant after establishment in deep, fertile, well-drained soils. The plant grows well in partial or full sunlight and tolerates desert heat.
The plant tolerates smoke, but it must be sprayed with water from time to time in dusty areas to clean the leaves. It is advisable to make pruning at the end of winter. The old stems must be cut openly by low cut to encourage the growth of new branches. Otherwise, the base of the plant will become ugly with old, greenish branches. Belmbago can be grown underneath this plant. Propagation by laying, separating lateral branches or by cuttings of mature wood at the end of winter.
