I already had a huge one that grows on a huge trellis (and then searches everywhere for new spots to cling to, slowly overtaking the wall at every opportunity it gets), but i also wanted one as a hanging plant. This one is actually propagated. On april 19 i put three completely leafless stems in water. First, it started growing some tiny leafs, next came the roots. It is a fast grower. The backside is a dark red. Many people think it is a begonia, but it has no relationship to begonias. Last summer i had to leave for three weeks and it dried out and lost most of its leaves and then did nothing much. I thought i lost it, but repotted it and removed the dead leaves and low and behold, it started sprouting leaves all over the stems, surpassed the top of the trellis, and now already found a painting to cling to :-)

    Not sure why it says - next to my user name - my account is a bot account btw. Maybe because i signed up at lemmy.world and this is a community on lemmy.ml?

    Edit: i accidentally had a box in my settings checked as a bot account. TIL :-)
