Nice color.

It is going to get smothered by Marguerite if it doesn't hurry up and grow faster.....I may have to move it to another container because the chartreuse cultivar will devour anything in its path and suck up any available nutrients.

I have this tri color sweet potato vine also but some of the leaves are turning brown on the edges and then the whole leaf turns brown and falls off. Does anyone know what is causing this and what I can do about it? The one in the photo looks very healthy. I love the color of the tri color. The brown edges do not shown up in the photo.
