Care & Size Guidance

Care & Size Guidance

This plant can be left to trail or trained to climb over any structure, making it a very versatile choice for making the best use of space indoors.

Make sure you take care to let the soil dry out between watering and do not leave sitting in water for long periods as tropical Cissus species can be susceptible to root rot if overwatered. Otherwise this is a very tough and easygoing plant that makes a great choice for beginners.

Expert Tip

When repotting, be sure to choose an indoor compost that has plenty of drainage material - or add your own such as perlite, grit or hydroleca.
