A very fun plant that is not commonly found. The fun is in how you can drape the vines by looping the vines back into the soil. The plant can be "shaped" by this draping effect. The vine itself will root if you just plop the middle or end of a vine back into the soil in the pot. No cutting needed. It will root from the middle of the vine. When you have achieved a full, draping plant, then it's time to share cuttings with friends.
