👾 How to get rid of a bad luck with the Garlic Vine?

  • 🟣 Garlic vine (Mansoa alliacea) is one of the most wanted flowering tropical vines.

  • 🟣 When in full bloom, it looks like a cascade of blue-purple over a fence or trellis.

  • 🟣 The fun part is, crushed leaves smell like garlic, which will keep away the vampires and bad luck! 🧛

  • 🟣 Deep lavender flowers with white throat fading to a paler lavender within a few days, and you can see all three colors on the plant at the same time.

  • 🟣 Garlic vine has moderate growth rate and can stay compact in a pot as a specimen, and even can be grown as a house plant.
