I don’t have any advice as this is still a wishlist plant for me, but just came to say what a steal for such a big plant! 😍

Wow what a great deal! My spades came as a giant tangled mess and for a while I let them grow wild. But then it started to get really bare on top and all the vines kept growing up on themselves. So I did my best to untangle them and did a big chop. I tried both water propagation and the butterfly method. Personally I had more success with water, especially transitioning them back into soil. My spades love a lot of light, I have them in a southeast facing window.

You can prop via the butterfly method or keep as is. FYI, there’s a lot of internodal spacing between the hearts bc it didn’t receive enough light.
