HBWR growers?

Anyone grow HBWR? I got some seeds last year and finally got some space to sprout them, and boom! 4 days later they have germinated and I'm seeing water leaves on 2 cm stems. Meaty looking little guys, clearly love the tropics.
Any recommendations on positioning or anything else about this plant would be highly appreciated.

What do you want to know? They are as easy to grow as their morning glory counter parts.

I sprouted some years ago and it was pretty carefree. I transplanted often so if I were to do it again I'd get it established in a 1 gallon container then put right into native soil once it's outgrown the starting pot. Beautiful heart shaped foliage and loves to crawl. Might be a bit invasive to its neighbors though.

Will they grow on galvanised wire runs or pool fencing? Can they handle dry UV in the winter? Better with partial shade in harsh tropics or can grow N-S? Any other tips as well, tips are worth gold when growing a new species.

It's night time now, I'll take some pics in the light. They really are just sprouts though.
I also planted some heavenly blue with this batch of seeds. Good to know the care is similar. Thanks.

As promised here's a pic, morning of day six. The darker leaf sprouts are heavenly blues, the bright green HBWR. So many sprouts I can see there that haven't yet opened, these four are just the powerhouses that opened on day 3. They will be separated and get more care.

The other half of the tray has datura and muntries cranberry. Started a few new trays last weekend, lots of interesting things.

Very nice mate I would go ahead and get them into their own pots now while it's still early if they were mine The bigger ones. Gently dig them out with a toothpick.

I will move them to some tree tubestock soon enough. I'm scared to move such young ones in case I break their single root. My eyesight isn't great and I have pretty big hands which can make doing small dexterous things difficult.

I've got a wire structure I built for aya vine, but it hates it. I'll try these guys on it. Will make this thread a grow journal.

HBWR = Jack and the bean stalk stories...no joke Theyll take over And ....take you to the giants land ...haha I had one that stem grew almost as thick as my arm....bout 5years Just let it ramble up something Ideally a low fence or something that can be accessed on a short ladder cause once they set seed you want to be able to get to them easily Mine were like waaay up in the clouds in this huge tree and getting to them was a mission
I popped some 'heavenly blue' Ipomea seeds in some trays a week or so back They just breaking the surface today Spotted some plants growing close to where I'd seen them about 15years back so collected some seeds for the fun of growing &seeing the flowers again

This is the fence I'm thinking about setting the hbwr free on. It runs north to south.

Will load up a pic of my Aya frame another time, once I get the vine out.
Got some m. speciosa seeds arrived this morning, finally. There's a mulberry tree in the corner of my block that doesn't seem to be moving at all, gonna move it and put one there. Gosh darn things grow so huge and I'm in tropical storm country, can't think of another place to put it that's far enough away from buildings.
