General Uses Top

Suggest a correction!

Common products:
Ornamental horticulture (garden and container annual vine).

Industrial and craft applications:
No documented non-medicinal industrial or craft uses are reported for this taxon.

Food and beverages (non-medicinal):
No documented non-medicinal food or beverage uses are reported for this taxon.

Colorants and tanning:
No documented non-medicinal dye, ink, or tannin uses are reported for this taxon.

Wood and fiber:
No timber or fiber products are reported for this taxon.

Fragrance and cosmetics:
No fragrance, cosmetic, or personal-care uses are reported for this taxon.

Properties relevant to use:
Climbing, twining growth habit suitable for vertical displays; finely divided foliage contrasting with bright, scarlet to orange-red flowers, optimizing visual impact for ornamental purposes. Open flowers produce abundant pollen; after flowering, papery calyxes hold seeds, facilitating collection and propagation; seed surface hardness supports dormancy—traits valued in horticultural breeding and selection.

Standards and regulation:
May be subject to ornamental plant import and trade rules in specific jurisdictions (e.g., national phytosanitary/importation requirements), but no taxon-specific standards for uses are documented.

Sustainability and sourcing:
Widely cultivated in the ornamental trade; widely naturalized in warm regions; control measures may be required where it behaves invasively. Seed-based propagation is common and reduces pressure on wild populations.

Germination/Propagation Top

Suggest a correction or add new data!
Sow seeds at 20°C, expecting germination within 3 months without further temperature treatment.
Requires Scarification: Scarification involves physically breaking, scratching, or softening the seed coat to allow water absorption and germination to occur. This can be done by nicking the seed coat with a knife or rubbing the seeds between sheets of sandpaper.
Requires Soaking: These seeds need to be soaked in warm water until they swell, which can take 24-48 hours. Seeds that float are usually not viable and should be discarded, along with the soaking water.
