In addition, I would also like to find out if it's possible to remove these vines from their current locations (on trees, on shrubs, on wire fence) and transplant it somewhere else. It seems it takes very little effort to pull the plant off, but the roots are very thin like toothpicks and run all the way down to the ground where it's impossible to isolate because it's so delicate.

In my front I have a gate with two 24" wide concrete columns. I would like to plant some of these vines so it runs up each concrete column, may be I will join the two columns up top with a rusty iron arch so they will run across it, and eventually up the tree to the left. Or I can put it on the tree first and have it run up and across over to one column. How would I transplant these vines?

Thank you.

Is it possible to move this plant from one location to another? I carefully lifted one of them off a shrub, careful to take the hair like roots that run from about 4' high to the ground. Then I moved it to a tree, tie it to the trunk at around the same height, draped the very thin roots all the way to the ground and covered them with some soil. I watered every day for 2-3 days. The thin roots are drying out and all the leaves turned yellow. I think I am not doing this right.

Verify the ID before you do any more shifting about. If it is the syngonium (macranthos is seldom wrong and I would also agree) then it is a Class 1 invasive species in FL and should be REmoved rather than just moved :-)

If it turns out to be not invasive, you might have better luck transplanting it if you keep it in a bucket of water for a few weeks and then put it in the ground when it has more roots.

It may be syngonium, I compared the pictures online and there seems to be many variations of it but some of them look similar.

I noticed that the ones I have, there are two different shapes to the leaves. Some of the leaves have individual leaves like this.

However, some of the leaves seem to be "connected", or may be they are single leaves, but each of them have two "ears", like this.

Are these the same kind of plant or different? They look identical otherwise.

The same plant :-) And confirms the ID as syngonium. Bottom leaves are juvenile....the first two photos show adult foliage.
