Coccinia palmata
caudiciform
Description
Coccinia palmata, also known as the Wild Cucumber, is a vigorous, climbing vine native to Africa. It's recognized for its palm-shaped leaves, which give it a tropical appearance. The plant produces small, white flowers followed by bright red, elongated fruits that are edible when ripe. The fruit is a source of food in some regions. It's a fast-growing vine that thrives in warm climates and full sun. It requires well-draining soil and regular watering, especially during the growing season. Provide a trellis or other support for the vine to climb on, allowing the plant to reach its full potential. Prune the vine to control its growth and maintain its shape.
