I moved it back to the porch in the spring and it started to die off. I figured it had outgrown it's pot and took it down to take some cuttings (root hormone and potting soil). Imagine my surprise to find five baby finches smack dab in the middle of it! The cuttings are growing (and so are the finches), which is a good thing, since I can't water it till they leave.

It sometimes dies off quite a bit but I always bring it back. If you pick out the dead parts, a lot of times they will have a section on them that is not dead. If you pull the dead part off and replant the live part it will grow back. We love ours and they are beautiful plants to have indoors.

My friend has this plant in Clearwater, FL. It grows up amongst her potted plants in the shade of an old Southern Cedar and hangs over th...Read Moree walls bordering her front yard. It has bloomed all year. I gave a neutral rating because it is considered invasive although my friend says it is easy to pull out when it comes up in the wrong spot
