I purchased my plant last summer. It is growing in a 10" clay pot. It blossomed beautifully all summer in partial sun. It has not bloomed since I brought it inside to avoid temperatures below 50. I need some pointers on the correct way to prune my plant. It has upright branches as well as very long vines which I have to cut back as they get several feet long.

We planted this vine on our A-frame in a swampy, very wet location. It has withstood temps as low as 27 degrees and bloomed continuously. It is about 12 feet up on the A-frame, and blooms from the ground up. It has not stopped blooming for more than a year.
