Those ornamental sweet potato vines are home sweet home for spider mites.
Let us know if you get them through the winter. I have a friend that stores
the tuber formed at rest and dry in the pot as grown. They are so available
and so inexpensive, I just buy a a new bunch each spring. The one called
'Blackie" managed to spread spider mites all over my cool plant room one year
and it is never welcome here again.
