Petee Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Does it smell good? I have an old variegated one that blooms several times a year but there is no fragrance. Enjoy but don't cut off the stubby end where the flower bloomed. It will bloom at that same spot again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest snellma Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Mine blooms a couple times a year. I just love it. It took forever to bloom though. I think it had to get root bound before it bloomed. It is in a smaller pot and is growing like crazy. I feel like I need to re-pot it but don't want to take the chance. I just keep winding the vines up and around and leave it alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just keep winding the vines up and around and leave it alone. We hadn't had any flowers for many years.........then I heard it had to be root bound and we had just transplanted it, so it took quite a while before it bloomed again........probably 4 yrs., and now I found 3 more flowers ready to bloom and had 3 bloom already!!! The flowers look like wax flowers, but when mine get white, right before they die, they smell soooooooo good..... I do the same snellma.....I just keep wrapping the vine around it. I'll take a picture of my whole plant, if I can stand back far enough to see it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
