Has anybody had any luck in propagating this vine. I have one at this time, but I want to make more plants out of this one plant.

I've done at least 25 from the 'mother vine.' Just take about a 5" cuttings from a tip and put it in some good potting soil ( like Pro-Mix). I usually do mine in the spring, but have had success in fall also. Keep the soil damp, but not wet.

How cool is that, I'll try on mine since it's time to move it indoor and the vine is getting very long. Thank you. :-)

You're welcome!
Here's mine on the patio before the caterpillars got to it a couple of weeks ago. It stands about 3 feet. I'm sure it'll bounce back in the spring.
