Cissus Rotundifolia
Bright, indirect light is ideal; tolerates some shade but avoid direct sun.
Allow the top few centimetres of soil to dry out between waterings; do not overwater.
Feed every 4–6 weeks during the growing season with a diluted liquid fertilizer.
Repot every 1–2 years or when rootbound; do in spring.
Description
Cissus Rotundifolia is a trailing indoor plant with soft, round, bright green leaves and delicate tendrils, perfect for adding lush greenery to shelves, hanging planters, or room dividers. Native to East Africa, it thrives in UK homes with bright, indirect light and is valued for its elegant, vine-like growth.
Generally pet-safe but best kept out of reach.
