Jade vines (forum)

Bangkok starts with ...
I have a red jade vine growing since a year and it's pretty big now.

Don't know if it's a seedling or not but can anybody tell me how long it takes before they make those huge red flowers?

The turqoise jadevines were also for sale but i've never seen them growing anywhere.

Is there a way to make them bloom faster?

You mean flame of the forest and they take 2 or 3 years I believe.

Some references call them the same species but it seems both are from New Guinea with bennetti not quite as showy but nearly.
