Beautiful plant! I always get confused by the houseplant ivy. Around where I live, I only know of the poison ivy which looks nothing like the houseplant.

Oh, I love your vase! Nice set-up there!

Lol no itchy rash from this one.

Thank you so much. I like whimsical decor.

What a great photo, my friend! Can you spread this one by taking pieces and putting them in water?

You know, I haven’t tried, but I bet so. I think those stragglers crawling out of the pot could be cut and transplanted. Want me to try it for you?

Edit to add: I just read that purple passions are vining plants! I did not know that. I bet that would make it easy to propagate. And many owners find the flowers unpleasant and pluck them lol it’s not just me haha!

What if I have a few houseplants that I put outside when the weather is nice? Would that classify as indoor or outdoor?

Excellent question! It depends if it's typically a houseplant that is just outside for a few days or is a plant that could be a houseplant in some places, but is planted outside in your garden.
To clarify, take my spider plants. They're my houseplants, but for the Summer, I keep them outside. They're still in their pots and aren't in my garden. When winter hits, they'll come back inside. They're houseplants. Then take an Aloe plant. That's typically a houseplant, but for some people, they're growing outside in the ground naturally and will never be a houseplant. They're part of a garden or are growing wildly.

I've been finding that there's a lot of people (or at least I'm meeting those people) who put their houseplants outside on nice or warm days. The plant is still a houseplant. I hope this answers your question!
