Wow! A 70-year-old plant is fantastic! I doubt the increased rainfall harmed the pipevine because they like moisture. However, they also like well-drained soil. You don’t say it’s failing, just not growing. Even though native plants don’t require much, if any, fertilization, after 70 years, that site could be depleted. Have you considered a soil test to check the nutrients in the soil? Your local extension service can help with one. Also try pruning the vine to encourage new growth. Here are basic facts:
