OT Variegated Chalice

17 years ago

I'm so excited. My V. Chalice vine isn't dead! I had moved it inside after the last GH freeze and cut it to the soil. I just saw a little bit of growth coming from the stump. I wonder what else might still be alive? Now I can say "I told you so" to DH who wanted me to throw away all the frost damaged plants.

    Karyn that is wonderful news. I hope all of them come back for you...That would be the best news. Tropicals are so hard and espensive to replace.

    More adeniums are up. I have to do more research I am unsure when to pot them up...: )

    I just love when that happens! Maybe the chalice vine is much hardier than we all thought. I am hoping the rest of yours come back as well.

    So glad you did not lose that Karyn! My regular Chalice vine never survived - lost it this summer for some reason.It never did grow much in 2 years (only 12" long when it died) I have to get another!! AFTER I figure out how to make it grow.

    It's one of my favorites and it's never even bloomed. lol It wouldn't have been difficult to replace but I liked mine so I'm glad it's still alive. I have a standard green chalice vine in the house. Linda I'm surprised it didn't take off in your climate. Mine got huge over the summer. It has several branches that are well over 6'. It's easy to propagate. I'll take a cutting and root it for you in the spring.

    Thank you Karyn! Do you keep your in shade? I was told not to put them in sun and water sparingly.

  • 17 years ago

    Yeah, Karyn so glad your variegated chalice is sprouting! Hope it grows quickly and gets back to its original size before it froze.

    Karyn,

    I'm so glad your variegated Chalice plant is coming back for you. It is such a bummer to have to replace plants as everything is so darn expensive. I will be hoping that more of your plants pull through for you. :)
