How do I propagate the Bleeding Heart vine from my original plant. I have tried cuttings with root hormone in a glass of water with no luck. That goes for my sky vine and my passion plant. Please advise on how to propagate these plants if possible. Thank you

I bought two about half-gallon-size plants at Lowe's that said "Bleeding heart" on the side. I transplanted them when I got home into larger pots. They are "climbers" and I gave them cedar stakes to climb on (when I saw them putting out the shoots). Today, July 8, they are at least 7 feet tall and have lots of shoots. I doesn't look like any of the bleeding hearts on the internet. I have been fertilizing them every week and watering them regularly. They look healthy, but I am running out of stakes. Any idea about what I have? I live in zone 7. I had them outside in the shade but I had to put them in the gazebo because they were top heavy and kept falling over. Ken West
It is most likely a clerodendrum or bleeding heart vine. This article should help

I planted several perennials this past spring. The foliage on most of then, especially the bleeding hearts and the ligularia, has died. I have cut most of them down to the ground already. Will they come back next year? How much water do they need between now and fall/winter? Thank you.
Bleeding hearts often yellow in mid-summer heat. If kept watered so the soil stays moist and if in full shade, it may not go fully dormant. A 3 inch layer of mulch helps soil stay consistently moist. It should come back next spring in zones 3-9. When dormant it doesn't need much water but the roots should not go into winter all dried out. So water the area lightly in late fall. Ligularia must have moist soil and never dry out. It likes more water than the average garden plant so put it with other moisture lovers. Keeping it in full shade and protected from hot summer winds helps prevent moisture loss. I don't know whether the ligularia will return. It have dried out and died. Keep the soil moist; perhaps some new foliage will emerge. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/ligularia/ligularia-ragwort-flower.htm
See photo please. 2 in foreground have greenery. 1 in background near sticker and red arrow has lost all its leaves.
If this area gets full sun, then this is likely the cause. These will prefer shade and consistently moist soil. This article will help you to care for these: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/bleeding-heart/bleeding-heart-care.htm
Do I water BH during dormancy, FL summer, heat index 103, excess rain? Keep in shade or give morning sunlight? It is potted at this time, fine other than yellowing leaves. Thank you, Darlene

This is the first year to have a bleeding heart. When I bring it in this fall should I re pot it or separate it and re pot or just bring it in as it is?
This plant will be completely hardy in your area. It will die back completely and come back next year. If this is a young plant, then you may want to bring it in the first winter, and cut it back as you do so to about 2 or 3 inches above the soil if it has not died back by the time of the first frost already.
There will be no real differences between the different colors, and they can be cared for in the same manner. This article will give you more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/bleeding-heart/bleeding-heart-care.htm
