If you use unmixed Round-up, use 1/4 the dose per gallon recommended on the label. If you use the premixed Round Up, dilute it by 75%. Test spray a small area to make sure your concentration is not too strong. Wait 4 days to see the results before spraying the entire Dodder vine. If the host plant shows signs of damage, weaken the concentration further.

Love Vine, Devil's Gut or Dodder is native to the dry Florida Scrub, hammocks and sometimes pine flatwoods (found mostly in the very dry ...Read Morescrub) of coastal and interior central and southern Florida, southward through the Keys. It is a vine that climbs over low shrubs and trees, draping over them and covering them with hair-like, yellow strands. I have seen them in parks many times and I really like the way they drape over plants, seeming to cover them with an orange-yellowish, draping, smothering and gently covering curtain. For this reason it is often called Witch's Hair. I would recommend this plant immeadiately for people who like a draping, curtain-like vine, but I don't recommend thisn plant to those who don't like possibly fast-growing, invasive and spreading plants like this one. Personally, though, I really like them! Where can you get seeds or seedlings of this plant?
MORE FACTS - Also grows in Texas. Adaptable in many areas and may withstand some cold or frost. The plant also has tiny flowers that are, however, inconspicuous.
