Frequently asked questions
Mexican Creeper (Antigonon leptopus)
Can it be allowed to spread freely over nearby trees?
Avoid uncontrolled spread. It can become vigorous and smother neighbours; maintain a defined support and pruning boundary.
Will a small starting pot remain easy to contain forever?
No. A small supplied plant can develop extensive stems and roots. Inspect growth regularly and manage it early.
Will a small pot immediately cover a fence?
No. Coverage takes time and depends on light, roots and training; supplied stem length is not the final spread.
Can it climb a smooth wall by itself?
Do not assume so. Give the stems a suitable frame and guide them; avoid fixing supports to shared structures without permission.
