Hi all - I just got a Bleeding Heart Vine as a gift fro my neighbor, Ila. We live in central Louisiana and she has hers in a large pot with a trellis that she takes into the garage for the winter.

My baby is in a gallon pot and in my kitchen - think I'm goint to try and keep her here - I got a pot trellis and want to train it to grow around it. Anybody keep these as a house plant?

Ila gave me some cuttings and I think 3 have taken root. She also gave me some seeds and I have no idea what to do with them. Since they are tropical, do they need to be chilled before planting? If so, for how long? Will they germinate in potting soil/perlite mix?

The pix is of Ila's - her plant is huge in just 2 years. I'd never seen them before and just went nuts! I'm orginally from the north and what you can grow down here is wonderful.
