Most are bush and I would think it doesn't matter what size...........I am trying to think of a creeper that grows straight up............they grow faster.............so I don't think it makes much difference. I am using all bush kind........

I don't think I have a creeper unless it is Chippery Trail...........a mini trailer.......

Just to make them pretty, I have always planted 3 plants to a pot (but that is against the show rules) so I just do it for fun. This will be a real challenge to do this from one plant............Marjorie said she thought it would probably take 4 or 5 months to get a nice 5 or 6" pot pan...........a pot pan is only one inch high so people can use the clear plastic water catcher for pot plants.....

Let me take a few pictures and remind you that I know as little as you all do...................bad quick pics
The one on the back is Glitter Fountain, a bush standard trailer with only one plant.
The one in the front has 3 plants in the pot........am going to separate them and try all four of them..........the Japanese way.
Did you notice that the lady said not to pinch until the bud has a color and then snip out..........as opposed to pinching out the 2 center leaves...like I have done on the next picture. (I can't use the next picture because I have already pinched the centers out.........and Japanese way doesn't do this)
