@pitter-patter Easy!? Lol I sowed them about 3 weeks ago and not one has germinated They are on a heated mat in my greenhouse. All my other seedlings are romping away.
I’m growing this as well for the first time. I think mine is just about the right size to be pinched out, but I’m not sure I want bushier plants. I have six of them and not a lot of space.
@P@pitter-patter Did you pinch out the tops? I've got 15 or so at this height and am wondering whether to pinch out ... Thanks :-:smile:
Hi, having seen the cup and saucer vine on GW in the spring I was inspired (like others) I got some too. I have three small plants and they are.... alive. But still tiny - about ten inches. They are in sun, with a decent root system. They are just not going anywhere. I'm thinking now that it's too late in the year to do much and so am wondering about over-wintering them and trying next year. I think saw on the forum, that someone had over wintered theirs successfully, along with the Red Velour Tidal Wave. It's a shame as I was looking forward to ten foot of vigorous vine. The Tidal Wave has done pretty well.
They are very, very slow growing, I wrote in the other thread, by the time they flowered it was winter and they died. I don’t think they are a plant from my climate.

Last time I did them I only pinched them out when they had got to about a 40cm tall.
