I placed it on my front porch in the summer and it did beautifully. Bloomed all summer long. I have a question though I brought it in for the winter (was this wise) and it is in a middle room a use to store plants for the winter. I am pretty sure it is not dead there is a LOT of green on it but it looks Semi-Dormant. Do they go Dormant in the really cold temps (the room stays about 40 degrees) or have I almost killed the plant?

Just wanted to make a botanical error note. Gibasis geniculata is actually Gibasis pellucida. This is a common horticultural confusion made between the two. My reference is The New Royal Horticultural Society Dictionary of Gardening published in 1992.
My husband and I had 2 of these plants hanging on the backdrop at our wedding in 1998. We gave one to my brother and he killed it, but we kept the other one and still have it today!!! It sometimes dies off quite a bit but I always bring it back. If you pick out the dead parts, a lot of times they will have a section on them that is not dead. If you pull the dead part off and replant the live part it will grow back. We love ours and they are beautiful plants to have indoors.

I had this plant in a hanging pot on my porch, but I didn´t know that too much sun light would kill it, so it died a few weeks later. I wonder if this plant can be used as ground cover in shady areas.

My friend has this plant in Clearwater, FL. It grows up amongst her potted plants in the shade of an old Southern Cedar and hangs over the walls bordering her front yard. It has bloomed all year. I gave a neutral rating because it is considered invasive although my friend says it is easy to pull out when it comes up in the wrong spot
3 vendors have this plant for sale.
