Having bought it in the Autumn, I'm hopeful of a few months growth before the summer sun burns it up next season (note burned leaves at lower levels).
When I visited this plant this morning, to inspect some new growth at the top and wind the tip around the supporting string upwards, I noticed some resistance when I moved a side-tendril. Looking more closely, I saw some little sucker-pads, not unlike the bottom of gecko feet! The sticky pads help geckos climb walls, as do these on the plant.
Here they are - tiny green pads, on the end of fine little tendrils. Fascinating!
