How do you get so many flowers on such a short vine. Mine get long and have a few blooms at the ends.

Hi again. I was impressed when I saw that plant too. It´s in my grandma´s house. I don´t know what she´s done to make it grow so much and bloom so vigorously, but I´ve never seen another Bleeding Heart Vine like that either.

I tried this plant before, and it never got so tall, nor bloomed so much, and after some months it just died. I need to know my grandma´s secret, I guess.

Hi, I am new to this site, but I love it. I have been looking for a bleeding heart vine here in Ohio scene it got warm out, and I can't find one anywhere. Your Grandmothers is the prettiest and healthiest one I have ever seen! I wonder, how old is the plant? Maybe they get more blooms with age? I pray I will find a plant soon, and if I do, I hope it looks as wonderful as your grandmothers! Please let us know what her secrets are. =) Thank you for sharing your photo.
