No not really, age doesn't count but size does, if that vine is P. edulis it'll have to get bigger (perhaps double). The key is giving it as much heat and sun without wilting it (keep it just moist enough). Flowering is usually on new growth that has buds apperaing on it before the leaves and tendrils mature. Little three bracted buds. The first flowers may be aborted or malformed but the later flowers will be ok. Flowers last for only a day.
