WANTED: Looking for trailing vinca plants

Comments (8)It's a Pilea....here it is... P. nummulariifolia. There's a large-leaf variety and a small-leaf variety, can't tell which yours is from the pic. One odd thing I noticed about this--one year I had a couple of hanging baskets of this & noticed what looked like smoke drifting out of them....I figured out it was pollen, all being released at once.....turns out there are other Pilea species that do this too....but very odd looking.

Comments (8)my default.. for all vines.. houseplants.. is that they grow up rainforest trees ... [i didnt say it was right.. lol.. this is how i 'think about it' for 'culture' purposes .. 'culture' being how you grow a plant ...] ... they have roots in the ground.. that stay very humid.. but with the vast canopy .. may never get a much rain ... [except for a brief rainy season] they climb up the tree.. capturing ambient moisture with large leaves.. and putting roots into the bark.. again.. little water for those roots.. etc... so when we think of a potted .. tropical.. or semi- tropical houseplant .... we would want media .. and watering ... consistent with such thoughts... and that.. for me.. would translate to a drink .. and then full drainage ... a second reason such work well as houseplants.. is because of how little actual sunshine gets down thru the canopy ... which is similar to house-level light ... as i said.. this is NOT science.. this is how i 'think about it' .. when i analyze.. what i might have to do with a houseplant.. now.. with the WWW .. you can do a few minutes of research as to its native habitat ... and you should be able to intuit what direction you should go ... [can you believe in the good old days.. i had to actually buy a book to learn this stuff] and a glass vase that holds water.. will not be the answer anywhere.. that is all i wanted to point out.. i did not address whether it looked good or bad.. or anything else ... just those stains on the glass ... until OP comes back and explains such .. there is no further concern ... and its winter.. no plant holds its old leaves forever.. and the extra low lighting of winter .. in the house .. makes some of the older weaker leaves fall off .. its natures way [and a forced air furnace sucking all the humidity out of the house doesnt help either] ... good luck ken...See Morewanted: wanted trailing av, or any kind
