That cage is blocking valuable light. This plant thrives in full sun. It needs full sun to get the darkest colors.

I would propagate it to fill out the pot. A fuller plant will stand vertically from the support of the stem and leaves at the lower levels. So, you won’t need a trellis unless that’s the look you are going for.

It propagate easily in soil. Cut it into pieces with one or two nodes in the soil. Poke a hole with a pencil or chopstick. Remove all leaves going under the soil to prevent rot. Dip in rooting hormone powder. Place in the hole and water. Water when almost dry. Watering will eventually fill the holes with soil.

Picture shows a plant in a 4 inch or made from broken pieces from the mother plant.

The mother plant is almost 20 years old. It’s about 8 feet wide. It started as a small hanging basket plant. I set it on my deck when it got too long. It took over nearby pots when winter freeze killed the nearby plants. It’s in full sun most of the day. People and dogs trample the edges since it’s almost touching the pool. It’s very resilient. It likes to dry completely between watering. I don’t water it in fall and winter. It lives off rain and has fine hairs that collect water vapor.

It’s taken on a life of its own. Five days of a hard freeze didn’t kill it last winter. It just made it go harder. 😁

What hardiness zone do you live in?
