Someone who lived here before us had planted syngoniums (arrowhead vine) behind the house. I would never have thought the plant would survive temperatures below 50F and was surprised to see it, so I planted some in a pot beside a tree. That was 7 or 8 years ago. Now it has climbed up into the tree even blooms some times. It isn't out of control, just jungly enough to be interesting. Here are some pictures. (All the messy fluff everywhere is spent mimosa tree flowers.)
This is a flower.

Houseplants Gone Wild
Hey Kelli - just wanted to say hi to another local
kanita
Hi!!!
Wouldn't it be cool if you could get it to do that inside! On the other hand I had a topic on plants I wish I never met and someone from Florida (I think) listed this one because it was taking over.

I could imagine that it could take over in a more rainy climate, but it's dry enough here to keep it under control. There is not a lot of it up in the tree, just enough to be interesting. I've lived most of my life in PA, so anything jungle-y like this just blows me away.
Is that ever cool! I have a brazilian philo that started to crawl up the wall and didn't realize it had attached itself until I was taking cuttings. Should have taken a picture. Still have the brown marks on the wall....lol.
