2.5" Pot size

The leaves of this slender, tropical vine are used in culinary dishes in Thailand and Laos. Young leaves emerge light green and darken as they age, and vines can reach 20’ long in tropical zones, although Yanang can be maintained at a shorter height when grown in a pot. Grass Jelly Vine leaves have an abundance of natural pectin and are blended or mashed to extract the thick juice that can be made into drinks, soups, desserts or a grass jelly treat.

I received a gorgeous 2.5" grass jelly vine, followed the instructions, and once repotted, it only took a week for new growth to show. Just be ready to have good vining apparatus set up as the vines can grow several inches per night! It's in my kitchen window which gets partial direct light.

Grows well in heat

Got this plant a few months ago and just brought it inside for the winter. If I'd put it in a larger pot I'm sure it would have been way more impressive, but even just in a little 1 gallon pot it grew vines 8' long. Southern AZ temps in the 100s didn't phase it (in full shade) and it survived one night of unexpected frost with no damage. Leaves have a very faint but nice smell.
