Monkey Ball Vine

great picture.

Thanks very much! You are making my day! haha

I like the photo,
Question what is the Botanical name for this monkey Ball vine?

How do you plant the balls from this plant? Completely under the dirt of halfway under dirt?

I have several large balls…I believe from the monkey vine you guys are talking about...that came from a vine with heart shaped leaves I believe is the Monkey vine? Anyhow I planted a few in pots. I had to leave town didn't want them to rot so I planted them just half way in the dirt. Now 4 weeks later they are not doing anything??? Am I suppose to completely bury them? And how do you know which way to plant the potato? Thanks

FYI---I have the small Monkey Ball Plant---that looks much like the one pictured above....In NC, (Zone 8A) the small balls fall on the ground and sprout up in the spring...The balls are just a bit smaller than a marble...I want the Large Monkey Balls--(they are the size of a large marble and have much larger leaves-about the size of your hand....If anyone knows where I can buy the large Monkey Balls please send me a comment.

I have a whole bunch of monkey balls I harvested just before the first freeze. I live in Laurel, MS. Any chance
you are close by. I would love to share.

With regard to planting monkey balls. I bury mine completely in the soil - about an inch of dirt over the top. In my experience, it takes these balls several weeks to sprout.
