The Borsigiana starts as a climbing vine in its initial growth stage and can grow up to 7-12 feet in length. This makes it look neater and you can also train the plant to grow around a window, door, or even a frame of your choice!

The Deliciosa, on the other hand, does not grow as a vine in its initial stages and has a sprawling and horizontal growth habit, growing up to 5-9 feet tall. As the plant is a low climber, you may find it creeping down, thanks to its nesting leafstalk and stems.

In its natural habitat, the plant clings onto the bark of trees using its ariel roots. As it is a climber, it makes for a great-looking plant, when it is small, for hanging baskets that you can hang anywhere
