ANGEL VINE - Muellenbeckia Complexa

Here is an interesting plant native to New Zealand. Angel vine has creeping, twining, wire-like purplish-brown stems, covered with small rounded fresh green leaves. The flowers are greenish-white in small spikes. This is an excellent topiary plant and graceful in hanging baskets.

LIGHT / TEMPERATURE: Angel Vine prefers bright, filtered light and moderate temperatures.

WATER: It doesn't like to dry out and may not recover if allowed to go into a full wilt. In bright locations the Angel Vine may need a drink every other day.

This is a specialty plant that is available during certain holiday seasons. At these times is is grown as a ball or heart-shaped topiary in 5" or 6" pots. On very rare occassions, it may be available in hanging baskets.
