Sheryl, I was so busy bragging I 'forgot' to tell you that I've been trying to root cuttings of this one all through the spring, and failed twice until this one worked. I'm thinking the vine needed to be growing, and that the heat and light were critical to success. Your terrarium sounds like a great idea! Put it by the window, too!
My others, P. Lady Margaret sends out suckers, and I have dug up and potted those before. The one that we get lots of fruit from P. incarnata 'Purple Possum' had seeded itself all over the back fence, but all the seedlings got nipped by cold weather in March, of all things! Now the vine, which was huge, and only 3 years old has died of trunk rot - a common thing down here when they grow big and fast - and I have to go hunting for one to replace it! I also have the bright red one P. coccinea rambling all around the back yard under an oak tree, and there are red flowers 40ft. up in the oak tree. I have yet to find where it came from, but I'm pretty sure it must be spreading by suckers, too because that one never makes fruit or seeds.
