Me too! It's really unruly though and putting it in the ground has been interesting. I can't figure out how this plant would fit into a "normal" landscape. It just goes really fast in a straight line, though not picky about exposure, seems happy in tons of shade or quite a bit of sun. Not very good @ being a ground cover because it won't form a solid patch/clump in a reasonable amount of time, jumps right over the borders of beds, and can stand up straight for well over a foot before it gets heavy enough to lean down, like a crazy, unruly version of T. pallida. A hanging pot seems the only real solution regarding potting it, and I'm sure it could climb up trees with those aerial roots in a jungle habitat, its' natural milieu. (I put pics of that in its' DB entry here, linked above.)

Fun for anyone who likes to propagate something constantly.

The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The 2nd best time is now. (-Unknown)

Try to be more valuable than a bad example.
