How to fertilize Cypress Vine
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Cypress Vine after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Why is my sweet potato vine leaves turning yellow after 1 1/2 a month of growing? It has grown really well for a while now. Should I trim the leaves off and continue watering normally or do I need to do more?

I am not getting a lot of flowers on my morning glories. When flowers fall off, a claw like branch is left. Should this be cut back to the main vine to signal more growth, or will more flowers grow here? There's many on my vines but not many flowers... #CommonMorningglory

I'm wanting to plant my vine outside. I'm not sure of a good place to put it really, due to me being new with the flowing thing. Could I form some chicken wire and let it cover it?? Help please. #CypressVine

Neighbor was going to pull up and throw out a morning glory plant growing out of the sidewalk in front of our gardens, which is a long way of saying I now have a TON of Morning Glory cuttings propagating
