Cissus amazonica (Amazonian Vine)

Botanical name: Cissus amazonica

Common name: Amazonian Vine

Family: Vitaceae

Origin: Brazil

Attractive, tropical climber with string-like vines. The upper surface is brushed pale silver green with bright white weins while the underside is a pink to burgundy color. Great for the tropical terrarium, it likes to climb and scramble.

From Spring to Autumn keep soil moist using water at room temperature, but do not allow the plant to sit in water. Wait until the top centimetre has dried out before watering again. Over the cooler months during their potential rest period, water just enough to prevent the potting mix from drying out.

The Amazon Jungle Vine loves high humidity which will create luscious growth and healthy foliage.
