dutchmans pipe


Question
I recently bought a plant that is called "dutchmans pipe".  This is a new plant for me and need some info on watering and light preference.  Right now I have it in the morning sun and keep the soil moist.

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Thank you

Hi Brandy
The Dutchman's Pipe, aka "Aristolochia littoralis" is a vine which produces pipe shaped flowers.  In order to produce flowers, the plant needs full but not direct sun.  They need a well draining soil.  So far, it sounds as if you are doing everything right!
A warning though, some species of this plant has a bad odor to the flowers.  They are suppose to attract flys.  
Good luck!
