I literally have done next to nothing for it except to stand the pot upright on occasion, sprinkle a little water in it's direction on occasion, and trim off damaged branches . . it continues to grow in spite of my neglect. I am going to start taking care of it now, to see what it'll do.

I am growing it in a cone shaped terra-cotta pot which hangs in the corner of my porch, which allows its branches to cascade towards the ground.

Survived 6 years, but tough in zone 9b unless grown against a southwest facing wall (where mine is now and doing great). It has cylidrical skinny stems, tiny tendrils like a lot of vines do, and the most wonderful, curious completely circular pea-green leaves that look a lot like mints about 1" in diameter all over the plant. Needs to be planted next to something it can grow on or will look messy after a while.
