Its climbing shoots elegantly wind their way up any trellis and form dense, lush green foliage of beautiful, heart-shaped leaves. The ingenious thing is: The plant works on the \"cut and come again\" principle. The more often you snip off the fleshy leaves for your dinner, the bushier and stronger it grows back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eOrigin \u0026amp; Tradition: A South American survival herb\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eEven though the name might suggest it, the Madeira Vine does not originally come from the Portuguese flower island, but from the warm, sometimes harsh mountain regions of South America, around the Andes. There, the vigorous herb has been climbing over fences, rocks, and bushes for centuries and is valued by the indigenous population as a true \"survival herb.\" In its place of origin, the plant is deeply rooted in daily diet and culture: the vitamin-rich, thick leaves are added to traditional soups and hearty stews as strengthening, fresh greens, where they provide a creamy consistency. The starchy root tubers, on the other hand, are traditionally boiled or roasted over an open fire and serve as a nutritious, filling side dish. In addition, the plant has been valued in South American folk medicine for generations for its cooling and soothing properties. With the Madeira Vine, you are bringing centuries-old South American garden culture directly into your home!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eThe climbing plant you can eat!\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eIn the Andes and in Asia, \u003ci data-index-in-node=\"31\" data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eAnredera cordifolia\u003c\/i\u003e has been valued as a valuable food plant for ages, as it offers two completely different harvests:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003eThe summer leaves:\u003c\/b\u003e They are fleshy, slightly succulent, and super crunchy. Eaten raw in a salad, they taste refreshingly mild; briefly sautéed in a pan, they are a fantastic, vitamin-rich spinach substitute that doesn't shrink as much when cooked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003eThe ground potatoes (root tubers):\u003c\/b\u003e As if that weren't enough, the plant also forms strong tubers (rhizomes) underground.

Countless, up to 30 cm long, creamy-white flower clusters emerge from the green canopy. They look like delicate waterfalls and are an absolute eye-catcher. For late bees, hoverflies, and butterflies, this late bloom is an extremely valuable food source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003eCare \u0026amp; Wintering: Uncomplicated and beginner-friendly\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"12,0,0\"\u003eLocation \u0026amp; Thirst:\u003c\/b\u003e Give it a trellis (or an obelisk), a sunny to semi-shady spot, and keep the soil well moist on hot summer days.

As soon as it gets cold, it withdraws its energy into the root tubers. Simply cut off the withered tendrils and place the pot with the soil (and the tubers) in a dark, cool place (approx. 5 to 10 degrees) in the cellar. The next spring, it will sprout again from the soil with even more vigor!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003eBring this fascinating historical useful plant home and harvest your own spinach simply vertically from the wall!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pflanzenwelten Andre Heinek","offers":[{"title":"7cm","offer_id":55655099695489,"sku":null,"price":3.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3.54 inches","offer_id":55655099728257,"sku":null,"price":5.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/6332\/3777\/files\/Image_8h27n38h27n38h27.png?v=1778402956","url":"https:\/\/pflanzenwelten-heinek.de\/en\/products\/madeirawein-basellkartoffel-anredera-cordifolia-jungpflanze","provider":"Pflanzenwelten Andre Heinek ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
