This vine does best in full sun to partial shade. It requires an evenly moist well-drained soil for optimal
growth. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive
in inner city environments. This plant can be propagated by cuttings.
This is a selected variety of a species not originally from North America, and parts of it are known to be
toxic to humans and animals, so care should be exercised in planting it around children and pets.
