Trim back the dead parts to encourage new growth. Give it some good water, but not too much pyrostegia likes well-drained soil. You can also add some compost or slow-release fertilizer to boost it.
Plant vines, especially aggressive varieties with clinging roots or tendrils, and potentially destroy clay roofs, as they can wedge themselves into cracks in the clay tiles, lift them, and eventually cause significant damage to the roof structure by dislodging tiles and compromising the roof's integrity over time; therefore, it's generally not recommended to allow vines to grow on clay roofs without proper support and regular maintenance.

Where do I put my ladder? The building is over 60 ft tall or 4 story high. Do I use a scaffold or a safety harness to ensure I won't fall. Do I use hand pruners or loppers? Electric trimmers or gas trimmers maybe a pole saw or a chainsaw? What would use to trim back the dead parts Daria44? How would you get on the roof and the side of the building to trim the dead off?
