Wow! It is beautiful.

Wow, that's one plant?! Has it bloomed before, or is it a young'un? If that hasn't bloomed yet, it will probably be decades before mine bloom!! It's a gorgeous plant even with no flowers. :)

Yep, that is one naturally trailing baby... amazing isn't it...
'Ramblin Angel' is the registered name on this one and it is about 1 year old give or take a month.
That rascal is in a 3inch pot! I finally had to put the leaf suppport on to help hold it up...lol
She is supposed to have pink blooms so if & when she decides to grace me with blooms it should be a real show.
I think I will move her to better light and see what happens...she has already started the bloom booster fertilizer so she has the proper nutrition.

I thought you might like to see a few I haven't killed yet..lol

She has been on a steady diet of Schultz AV food.
Nothing special...she has been switched to a bloom booster soooo blooms maybe soon... I hope.

I can't wait see her bloom, it wil be a nice show for sure.

I received Sticky Wicket by mail about 3 weeks ago. I planted it to a 4" pot and it has doubled in size. I think I see a bloom starting. I hope it grows as lovely as yours.

I've noticed several of your pictures Ms C and all of your plants have beautiful shinny leaves. Do you do something special? Is it the light? Please share your secret!!!

Nanna,
Thank you for the nice compliment.
I can't take much credit for the leaves beauty.
I believe it is just in their genes...I do gentley bathe them often just to keep dust off and I think that's the only thing I do the rest is mother nature.

Can't beat mother nature. But, I think your tender loving care has a lot to do with it as well.

Will you be trading leaves from Angle Trail? Did she just naturally grow that way or did you do some pruning? She looks just like the diagram in my av book.

Thanks Kathyvm! I'll be sure and post a pic if & when she graces us with blooms.

Your plant looks like mine! I've been trying for 2 years to get mine to bloom too. I just removed suckers about a month ago and now I have 6 more. I use Schultz too. Maybe it's this? Good luck!!

KKimba,
Welcome to the a AV forum!

I guess it could be the Schultz fertilizer, but my first guess would be the amount of light it's getting.
I'm gonna try improving the lighting situation here and then move to the fertilizer.

I just gotta see it bloom!LOL
