A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Plants and Flowers Forum Climbing Shell Plant ?

I bought a climbing shell plant and when it gets here it is going to be potted so I can bring it indoors for the cold months. What is a good idea for it to climb on that still allows it to be in a pot and relocated once in a while and also looks great indoors during the cold seasons?? Maybe pics of ideas? The vine gets up to 25' tall-however I doubt it reaches it's maximum height here in Oklahoma. It likes sun so I have to be able to put it in my Dining room by window. The window is 4' off floor on west side of house. I may have to get a planter table like those you put on decks and patios to lift the plant into the light from the window. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INPUT! :thum:

Here it is. I pulled off it's only flower it had. It was expiring anyways. But it has a bud so here it is and I will let u know how things turn out! It did not come in perfect condition but it will be fine, I am sure.

I had one a few years ago that I planted outside. It grew up a trellis and got to be massive in just one year. It grew somewhat lanky and had weak stems because it didn't get enough sun, so wherever you decide to put it try to give it as much sun as possible. It did bloom like crazy, though.

Can't wait to see this one grow..
*I have seen seeds for this plant somewhere's*
They look realllllly interesting...

P/S Johnna, any chance of your re~sizin' that picture?
It needs to be 480 x 640...
Thanks bunches if you can..

I don't know how to do that once it's posted....got instructions? I think I know how from now on before I post.

if you go into your photobucket and resize it, it will be automatic when someone looks at it again!

K. thanks.

Check out my shell plant now!

Very pretty Johnna. The flowers resemble sweet peas a bit.
