Indoor vines on a trellis

October 13, 2009 4:33 PM

Looking for a recommendation for an indoor climbing vine.

We built a trellis for a large window in our house (eastern exposure, strong morning sun) and successfully grew Hoya vines. However, we've battled mealy bugs over and over and have given up. What's a hearty, fast growing vine that:

1.Won't try to attach itself to drywall.
2.Is a climbing vine and won't need to be tied off.
3.Is pest resistant.

Philodendron's pretty much the go-to indoor vine.

Banisteriopsis Caapi. Lush, climbs trellises, insects don't seem to like it much and needs only morning and evening light (not midday bright light). Also known as yage.
