Muehlenbeckia complexa 'Maori'

Muehlenbeckia complexa 'Maori' is a fine-stemmed wire vine with tiny rounded leaves and naturally interlaced growth. It can trail over the edge of a pot, thread through a small frame, or be trimmed into a denser mound. Many slender, woody stems weave through each other and quickly fill the space around the pot.

The small green leaves give Muehlenbeckia complexa 'Maori' a light, netted look, while the plant grows vigorously when it has enough light, moisture and root space. Indoors it can be grown trailing, clipped, or trained over a simple shape. Regular trimming keeps the stems fresh, encourages branching and helps light reach the inner growth.

Fine wire stems and tiny green leaves

  • Growth habit: Scrambling, trailing or climbing woody vine that can be shaped with pruning or guided over a small frame.
  • Foliage: Small rounded to slightly variable green leaves sit along very thin, flexible stems.
  • Stem behaviour: Branches freely and can form a dense, interlaced mass when growth is left untrimmed.
  • Container behaviour: Keep it in a pot with steady moisture, good drainage and airflow around the stem network.
  • Seasonal response: Can shed leaves or pause growth when kept too dry, too dark or too cold.

Muehlenbeckia complexa 'Maori' scrambling stems and roots

Muehlenbeckia complexa belongs to Polygonaceae and is native from Lord Howe Island to New Zealand, where it grows as a scrambling shrub in temperate conditions. In habitat it can move across ground, rocks, shrubs and coastal edges, using flexible stems to spread and weave through surrounding vegetation. Bright light, regular moisture and pruning keep the active stem extension dense in a pot.

The species can produce small greenish-white flowers, and mature female plants may develop small fruits after flowering. In indoor cultivation, Muehlenbeckia complexa 'Maori' is kept as a fine branching plant that recovers quickly after trimming and can be grown trailing, clipped or trained.

Keeping the stem network dense

  • Light: Give bright indirect light or gentle morning/evening sun. Low light leads to long, open stems with fewer leaves.
  • Watering: Water when the upper part of the substrate has started to dry. Keep the root ball lightly and evenly moist, as thin stems and small leaves react quickly to drought.
  • Substrate: Use an airy, moisture-buffering mix with drainage. A standard houseplant mix improved with mineral material or fine bark keeps the roots moist while allowing oxygen through the pot.
  • Semi-hydro and mineral substrates: Moisture-buffering inert or mineral blends can suit this vine if the roots stay evenly moist and oxygenated. Dry, coarse mineral setups are less suitable for its fine root system.
  • Humidity: Average to moderately humid indoor air is suitable, but very dry air can speed up leaf drop when combined with missed watering.
  • Temperature: Keep it cool to mild-warm indoors, ideally around 10–24°C. Protect potted plants from hot dry air and prolonged freezing conditions.
  • Pruning: Trim long stems regularly to maintain density. Cut just above a leafy section so the plant can branch from live growth.
  • Repotting: Repot when the roots fill the pot or watering becomes difficult. Choose only a modestly larger pot, because an oversized wet root zone can cause decline.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth. Strong feeding can push soft growth that dries out faster indoors.
  • Propagation: Root stem cuttings or divide rooted sections during active growth. Keep cuttings lightly moist and bright while new roots form.
  • Placement: Place where the fine stems can trail, climb or be trimmed without being crushed against surrounding objects.
  • Growth rate: Fast and vigorous in bright, evenly moist conditions, with slower growth in low light, cold conditions or repeated drought.

Diagnosing leaf drop and bare stems

  • Leaf drop: Usually points to drought, a sudden temperature shift or very low light. Check the root ball first, then move the plant to steadier conditions.
  • Bare inner stems: Often caused by ageing growth and poor light inside a dense tangle. Thin and shorten the stems so light reaches the centre.
  • Crisp tips or shrinking leaves: Usually linked to dry roots or hot air. Water more evenly and move the plant away from heat sources.
  • Soft, collapsing stems: Check for cold wet substrate or root rot. Improve drainage, reduce watering frequency and remove dead sections.
  • Pests in fine stems: Fine stems can conceal spider mites, aphids or scale. Inspect the stem network closely and treat early before pests spread through the tangle.

Training, trimming and container shape

Muehlenbeckia complexa 'Maori' can be grown loose and trailing, and it also takes well to shaping. Use a small wire frame, hoop or trellis for a denser upright outline. For a softer hanging shape, let the newest stems spill and shorten older stems before they become bare. Regular light maintenance keeps the stem network leafy and even.

Safety around chewing pets

Muehlenbeckia complexa 'Maori' is grown as an ornamental plant. Keep it out of reach of pets and small children that chew plants, and remove pruned stems from the pot surface.

Muehlenbeckia complexa name, family and meaning

Muehlenbeckia complexa belongs to Polygonaceae. The basionym Polygonum complexum A.Cunn. was published by Allan Cunningham in Annals of Natural History 1(6): 455 in 1838, and the accepted combination Muehlenbeckia complexa (A.Cunn.) Meisn. was published by Carl Daniel Friedrich Meisner in Plantarum vascularium genera 2: 227 in 1841. The genus Muehlenbeckia honours the Alsatian physician and botanist Henri Gustav Muehlenbeck, while the species epithet complexa refers to the plant’s interlaced, tangled branching.

Charles Soule's Series Continues to Impress and is Arguably the Best of Marvel's New Canon
Format: Paperback
Darth Vader leads the invasion of Mon Cala. With the Empire tightening its grip across the galaxy, Vader is dispatched by his master to the aquatic world of Mon Cala to track down a rogue Jedi who may be advising the planet's king. With the Inquisitors in tow, Vader and Grand Moff Tarkin face off with one of the first open acts of rebellion in their new Empire. Soule is at his absolute best with this series as he continues to explore a version of Vader haunted by his own inner goodness and memories of the past (the book does contain some references to events of the Clone Wars television show, but you don't need to have seen it to grasp the story). Likewise, his exploration of the seduction of the dark side is fantastic with a new Jedi target willing to use deception and war in order to light the sparks of a future rebellion. The final issue of the book may be one of the best Star Wars comics of the entire new canon with Tarkin hunting Vader for sport (on the latter's request oddly enough) across a desolate and hostile planet. The issue isn't what one expects but makes a great deal of sense when exploring the relationship between these two characters (while also explaining why Vader is so deferential to Tarkin during A New Hope). The final addition is a decent annual that sees Vader investigating the Death Star and sabotage of its construction. The annual isn't the best addition to the series (the artwork isn't up to the standards of the rest of the series), but it does introduce some intriguing ideas about Tarkin and Vader's relationship and the events that set up the Rogue One movie.

Amazing for kids!

I've bought several of these for my kids and my niece and they have loved all of them! Tons of activities in each book and my kids take them on our trips for something to do in the plane or car rides. I definitely recommend any of these! We have Sharks, Soccer, Gymnastics, and Monster Trucks.
