What is the plant

This is a genus of evergreen, robust, climbing plants. The flowers are bisexual, lacking a perigone. The spathe is shed after flowering. The ovules number eight or more and are superposed on two (rarely 3) parietal placentas of the ovary. The flowers produce many, ellipsoid, straight seeds with a brittle and smooth outer coat (testa).

How to Care for the Plant

Water
This plant must be kept moist through spring and summer. You should be watering your Hayi about 3 times a week in warmer weather, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings to avoid root rot
Pruning
You can cut a few leaves from the lower sides. This will enhance the growth and appearance of your vine in the pots. In the case of outdoor huge growth, you can even cut a big portion of vine. This can be further propagated at some different place or even gifted to some plant lover.
Fertilizer
In the growing season, a monthly dose of liquid fertilizer proves great for healthy foliage. On the other hand, your shingle vine can do pretty well without any added nutrition.

Temperature
The shingle plant loves the warmth and hates the cold! It is native to Australia, so you can imagine it prefers warmer temperatures year round. Anything below or above 60 to 78 degrees Fahrenheit will stunt its growth and possibly kill it.
