Care information

*Cissus quadrangularis* is a vining species in the grape family with distinctive four-angled, jointed stems. Its bright green, succulent-like growth allows it to handle drier conditions than many tropical vines, while still appreciating warmth and good light. Over time it can climb, sprawl, or trail depending on how it is grown. This species is easy to care for and well suited to pots, hanging baskets, or trained on supports.

You will receive an **unrooted cutting**, grower’s choice. It will be similar in size and form to the one pictured but not the exact plant. Shipped bare-root or in moss depending on conditions.

**Light Requirements:** Bright, indirect light to some direct sun.
**Humidity Requirements:** Tolerates a wide range, from average household levels to moderately high humidity.
**Temperature Range:** 65–90°F (18–32°C). Can handle short periods just below 60°F (16°C).
**Growth Habit:** Succulent climbing or trailing vine with four-angled stems; can sprawl if not supported.
**Soil:** Well-draining cactus or succulent mix, or a sandy tropical blend.
**pH:** 6.0–7.5.
**Size:** Stems are angular and jointed, typically 0.5–1 cm thick; length increases steadily with support.

Plant Details
Airflow
Medium — Essential for "wetish" setups. Needs regular air exchange or internal circulation fans to prevent water from sitting on leaves, which helps avoid rot and fungal issues.
Family
Vitaceae
Growth strategy
Epiphyte
Humidity
40–60%
Lighting
Bright — Requires high-output lighting to maintain vivid color expression (especially for reds, purples, and variegation) and to ensure shingling habits stay tight and compact.
PH
6.5–7.5 — Neutral: Suitable for hardy species that are less sensitive to water chemistry. This range is common in setups using tap water or inert substrates like clay pebbles and stones.

Temperature
65–75°F — Ideal for "Cool-Growers" or highland species. These plants prefer the lower end of the tropical spectrum and may show signs of stress or heat-dropping leaves if temperatures consistently exceed 80°F.
Watering substrate
Damp — These plants love high moisture levels; the substrate should stay wet to the touch at all times but should not be sitting in a stagnant, waterlogged state.
World
Old World — Native to the Eastern Hemisphere: Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia, and surrounding islands.
