    I think your spelling may be off a bit. A margarita is a pizza or a cocktail. A marguerite daisy is a tender perennial. There are, however, some plant varieites with the name Margarita, such as the Yew Margarita (an evergreen shrub), the kumquat Fortunella margarita (small shrub/fruit tree), and a variety of Carolina Jasmine known as Gelsemium sempervirens 'Margarita' (a perennial vine).

    This could be a to much Nitrogen in the soil and a lack of Phosphorous.
    You can fertilize with Bone Meal to correct this and encourage flowering.

    Most rapidly growing plants need a year or two to really get established (i.e. they are growing their roots). Once they are established, they grow rapidly. Consider this year its settling in year and next year you should see the kind of growth you are looking for.

    Depending on how cold it got during the winter, the plant may still grow back-either the roots or part of the stem are likely still alive. The best thing to do is wait until late spring or summer to see if it starts growing back. If not, you can replace it.

    It is difficult to say what has effected your vine. Check soil moisture levels.
    Inspect the leaves for any signs of pests.

    Did your weather play a part? Drops in temperatures or extreme heat?

    Review the care information in the articles below. This may help you pinpoint a cause to your vines condition.

    I would leave it until the plant is established, or at least until it is big enough to climb on something on its own. You may cut the tape when it starts to seem constricted. This will not hurt it this early.

    This can do just fine in an 8 or 10 gallon container for several years. With some root pruning every 2 or 3 years, it can stay there for quite a while.
