The Bleeding Heart Vine, scientifically known as Clerodendrum thomsoniae, is a popular flowering vine appreciated for its distinctive, eye-catching blooms. Here are some key characteristics and care information for this beautiful plant:

  1. Appearance: The Bleeding Heart Vine is named after its unique flowers, which resemble pink or red, heart-shaped pendants with a single white or pale pink droplet-like tip. These striking blooms are produced in clusters, creating a captivating display. The plant has dark green, glossy leaves that complement the flowers.
  2. Growth Habit: It is a twining vine that can grow vigorously in the right conditions. It can reach lengths of 10 to 15 feet (3 to 4.5 meters) or more, making it an excellent choice for training on trellises, arbors, or fences.
  3. Light Requirements: Bleeding Heart Vine thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate some direct morning sunlight, it should be protected from harsh afternoon sun, which can scorch its leaves.
  4. Temperature and Climate: This vine prefers warm and temperate climates. It can be grown outdoors in zones 10-11 but should be protected from frost. In cooler climates, it’s often cultivated as a houseplant or in containers that can be brought indoors during the colder months.
  5. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. It’s essential to avoid letting the plant dry out completely, as this can stress the vine. Regular watering during the growing season and reduced watering in the dormant period (usually winter) is a good practice.
  6. Fertilization: Feed the Bleeding Heart Vine with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) to promote healthy growth and flowering.
  7. Pruning: Prune the vine as needed to control its size and shape. This can be especially important if it’s grown indoors or in limited space. Pruning also helps stimulate new growth and more prolific flowering.
  8. Pests and Diseases: Watch out for common houseplant pests like aphids and mealybugs. Regularly inspect the plant for signs of infestations and treat them promptly. Proper care, including maintaining good air circulation, can help prevent these issues.

Bleeding Heart Vine is a stunning and visually striking plant that can add a touch of elegance to your garden or indoor space when cared for appropriately. Its charming heart-shaped flowers make it a favorite among gardeners and plant enthusiasts.
