Posted by terrafirma (NE. FL. - Zone 9a) on Aug 24, 2014 10:10 AM concerning plant:

An evergreen vine that must have a very rich, loose, well-drained soil. It has thick waxy leaves and tight clusters of small waxy flowers. Seems to bloom best when pot-bound. Don't prune out flowering wood. New blossom clusters appear from stumps of old ones.
