Tecomanthe Species, Forest Bell Creeper, New Guinea Trumpet Vine

This is an interesting vine for sure. I have it growing as houseplant that gets to go outside for the summer. Mine grows quite vigorously...Read More and has very attractive foliage, stems and flowers. I don't think this vine is very common. At least, around here it sure isn't. No one has ever heard of it or even knows what it is, but when they see it growing and flowering they want a cutting. I grow mine in full sun inside the house and in morning sun and partial shade outside during our hot summers. This vine can get quite large as a houseplant. You can prune it back if you like with no problems but remember that the flowers grow on old growth. Mine likes regular watering and feeding with a little less in the winter months. Very attractive and a definite conversation piece/attention getter.

Live in Orlando, Fl. Mine grows up a post plant hanger with
luxuriant foliage, and the blooms appear along the woody
stem i...Read Moren somewhat a hand form. Well behaved, haven't had
any runners and so far no seeds. I've had mine about 4 yrs
and it was a nice full plant when I got it. Grows by the pool,
lots of morning and early afternoon direct sun. Has handled
upper 20's with no trouble.
