When this ebay plant arrived in the mail, I gasped. Its a MONSTER! I was expecting a small plant. Its 27" high. Don't get me wrong--I'm happy its not some tiny barely rooted cuttting, but I surely didn't expect such a nice, beautiful plant for what I paid. I want it as an indoor plant. I understand you can trim them to be a small bush instead of a climber. Does it have to have a trellis? I won't trim it right away, of course. I'll wait until next spring. I have low humidity here and its 90 degrees today. Aside from misting it, any other suggestions? It'll be in dappled sun in late afternoon for only a couple of hours.
