I. Growth habits of the flame vine

The flame vine likes moist, acidic, fertile soil. It grows especially fast, and in South China its branches and leaves stay evergreen, so overwintering outdoors is no problem. Its tendrils grow at the stem nodes of the vines, so the whole plant must be secured to some other support in order to grow. In China, the flame vine is grown in Guangxi, Yunnan and Guangdong.

II. The blooming season of the flame vine

As the editor mentioned, the flame vine blooms for as long as 6 months, but in the south, because the weather is warmer, it blooms earlier, starting in December. From the start of blooming to the end of blooming it can last about 2-3 months, so right around the Chinese New Year we can still see the flame vine; it really is a festive and timely flower. The flame vine blooms for a very long time, generally from January to June each year, which means we can see it for half a year.

III. The flower language of the flame vine

The flower language of the flame vine matches its name perfectly: prosperous, fiery good days. It generally symbolizes that the household's days are thriving and auspicious. Displaying a pot of flame vine during the Chinese New Year could not be more fitting. It is the most suitable flower to give to relatives and friends. It can bring good fortune to the home for the whole year, and the whole family will be blessed and happy.

The flame vine is not cold-tolerant. The weather in the north is colder, so in winter it must be moved indoors to overwinter. During overwintering, even indoors it must be able to get sunlight, and the indoor temperature just needs to stay above 15°C.
