I'm keeping mine indoors for the time being.
Were they woody stems that you propogated?
Along with my Glory Vine, this was my plant of the year.

Meanie, the stems were out toward the end, more delicate. They were very slender in diameter because I had them in a certo bottle inside. They not only rooted, but were blooming inside. When I transferred them to soil, I used a root stimulator before planting. They have just taken off like crazy. Our climate, however, is usually very warm, with only a few freezing days in the winter or frost. So, I'll save more clippings just in case! I saw the mesmerizing photo of your plant! Very exotic.
