1.Yes each plant is a vine.
2. That all depends I have had as many as 10 or more on one vine.
3. YOu can always put panty hose on your gourds with a little piece
of wood on the bottom and help them form a flat bottom.
They will almost grow into any shape you can imagine.
4. If you can move them safely and thats what you decide to do its never to late.
Good luck and hope this helped a bit.
Happy gourding

Hi--I would love to know how your snake gourds do--I have some planted also but no blossoms yet--Nancy

huggins, I now have flowers all along the vines. I have more on the snake plant than the birdhouse gourd. I have started to trail them along the ground, rather than letting them hang, so far they are unaffected by the move. I hope to see gourds soon because that's the fun part!
Thank you cat for your advice :)
