CC,
I have two of these...one has green and white leaves and the other one has solid green leaves....had them since last fall but no fowers yet. Mine are in a container on the deck and the vine must be 10 feet long or so...think it's supposed to be a fall bloomer. I'll check Google and see what it says. I guess I'll put mine in the greenhouse for the winter
tiG....no need to look any further....will be cutting later in the season.
wow, cool, thank you!!!!
I had no clue what it was that I rooted.Hope I can keep it over the winter.Do you have a picture of the one with green and white leaves??
I am growing two Solandra maxima variegata, which I got from Logee's. There is the regular non-variegated form at Strybing in San Francisco -- it is spectacular in bloom. The variegated form gets purplish new leaves, very showy. The vine is very big and heavy, so I have tied it up against a wire fence. I expect them to bloom next winter or spring.

Guess I put mine in the wrong spot since I'll have to move it into the greenhouse later...how in this world am I going to move this thing without breaking it?
Don't frett,you can root what you break off.Now that I think about it ,it must be related to the brugs cause thats one of the only things I can root.
