i'm not sure if this is the right forum, but I am looking for a year round, blooming plant that I can hang in my south facing window year round and that doesn't get straggly in the winter. Someone suggested begonies - I've only really had the small ones with small flowers and am not crazy about them plus they didn't hang. I live in zone 5b.
Thanks
Hanging plant
A Goldfish plant maybe? Or a hoya? You should get enough sun in a south window for either of these plants (might be a bit too much for the goldfish - but can you filter the sun with blinds?) I'm not sure about a columnea, never had one, but others will chime in with better ideas, I'm sure.
Lipstick vine whould love a southern exposure. I used to have one in a south window in my other house and it was beautiful. I don't have the right kind of light for one here :
someone gave me a hoya with leaves that are crinkled, dark green with pink and white edges, very pretty. What do you think about that? Is it a fast grower? I don't kow anything about Hoyas.
(just loooked it up - Indian Rope.
Yep, sounds like the Hoya compacta "Hindu Rope": http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/53915/
If yours has the pink/white edge it is probably this one the variegata: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/73773/
I don't have the Hindu Rope Hoya but it is supposed to be one of the fragrant ones!
Do you know if they are slow growers? how long before they bloom?
I can't really say how long it would take to bloom, some take a few years to get to the blooming stage. I do think that most Hoyas prefer to be root bound so I would keep it in a small pot.
If you go to the hoya forum: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/f/hoya/all/ and post any questions you have, there are some real knowledgeable folks over there.
