Angel Vine

Question

Hi, I read your page on Angel Vine. I think this is a very pretty plant. I have two questions. Firstly, how can I tell if I have a male and a female plant or just two males and two females? I bought two plants at a local nursery, but they are not marked. Secondly, since I like this plant so much, can you suggest some others I might like for growing both indoors and/or outdoors? Thanks, jt

I did an exhaustive online search and cannot find how to tell the male and female plants apart. When they flower, you can examine the reproductive organs to tell. The article below tells which has what. If one fruits, you will know you have a female. Most articles just say to propagate by softwood or semi-softwood cuttings.
