This plant is a little thick...in the stems. And actually several Cissus have similar stems. This one is marketed as "Cissus quadrangularis", but from my experience with this plant, the leaves can vary fairly dramatically within this species. This one takes the #193rd spot of "365 Days of Plants".
In this video I'll discuss where this is originally native to, where I'm growing it in my home, and basics like light, watering and fertilizing.
You can check out more of these videos here and on my IGTV @homesteadbrooklyn.

The large cissus is a sub species of cissus quadrangularis. It’s called cisssus cactiformis, you can tell because the leaf shape and the wavy stem margins.

This plant is edible in my country, India. It also has medicinal properties

@hollyhasegawa6095 4 года назад

Oh my, I love this plant so much, have not yet seen it in person, but now that you have shared it, I'm going to be on the lookout for one. Those dang spider mites, I'm sure you will treat it and it will be just fine, I just hate the bugs that invade our plants, they really have a lot of nerve doing that. I hope you are having a wonderful day, take care and I will see you again tomorrow.

In India It's edible made into chutney in without the skin. High in calcium heals fractures. Plant resemble bones under x-ray.

I have this along my corridor and it grew into a giant under full sun. I love that naturalistic tangled look as it cascades to my neighbour’s corridor below. I also have Indian neighbours coming by requesting for cuttings. They say it’s good for ladies and strengthen bones! Mine has the same leaf shape as your smaller specimen. A very drought tolerant and low maintenance plant for the tropics.

@burstallpass4394 4 года назад

I have no experience with this plant, but in the summer of 2017 several of my cacti came down with spider mites. My arborist told me they use Dawn dish soap with diluted water on their indoor office plants. I gave that a try and about 1/2 of my cacti have survived that came down with those red critters. Your Cissus quadrangularis is a lovely plant.

As I was researching about another cissus I came across this plant name and came to know that this plant is used in Ayurveda (Indian system of medicine) as a plant used in treatment of fractures! So used like a bone setting plant 💚

Cissus quadrangularis is very familiar in kerala. It is a medicinal plant many uses especially for fractured bones. I have this easy to grow and propagate. Thank u ......

@mysticshining 4 года назад

I had a small one and it grows like mad and propagates really easily (and I usually don't have the patience for propagation). You know who might have info is Steve's leaves, I'm pretty sure I saw them selling this plant at one point. Also, from what I've seen of another person who tried everything to get rid of spider mites (some are easier to get rid of then others) for her, a mineral oil mixture worked the best for her, so like you said I would imagine the horticultural oils and such would be the way to go, from what I've seen.

@Alisha8596 4 года назад

I hope this is an ok way to do it but I kill spider mites by mixing a little bit of neem oil, a little bit of dishsoap, and a lot of water into a spray bottle and shake it up. Spray the plant and let it sit for like 5 to 10 min and then spray off with clean water. Seems to work well for me even with my more sensitive plants.

@101Cecilia 4 года назад

ok, I didn't care for this plant UP TILL NOW. After your tutorial.. I'm definitely going to bring this one home. I used dawn detergent and water on my spider mites last year on a 2 crotons-worked perfectly. But I don't know how the cissus would react to the treatment.

@lschoenrank Год назад

I have had one of these for a couple of years. I found your video because I was hoping that someone had suggestions on how best to display it. Or contain it! It's kind of inconvenient having a plant just sprawl around, but it doesn't seem to like being helped to climb like a Philodendron, and it's too stiff to wrap around a wire form like I do my Dioscoreas.

@marie-maudebrunet752 4 года назад

Hi! I was just wondering if you might feel comfortable sharing what vendor the plant cane from. I bought a hanging basket of string of hearts at a farmers market in nyc, too, over the summer, and it brought spider mites into my home - 100% confirmed they came on that plant. I let the vendor know but they didn’t seem very concerned.

@nikitasveshnikov9074 4 года назад

I have one of these, but it was sold to me as a "Cissus Cactiformis." It was quite hard to find care information on it, and around August mine dropped all its leaves and the vine tendrils shriveled up. Three months later, and it has the same appearance, with no more loss of limbs or anything. Perhaps it entered a dormancy stage? I really don't know what to make of it, and the nursery that sold it to me was unsure of how to care for it when I asked them. A lovely plant, though. I hope this spring it begins to shoot out new growth.

My Queen I do believe you have two different species on your hands here. True cissus quadrangularis or Veldt Grape as it is commonly known is your newly acquired spider mitey friend. I couldn't get a good enough look at the other but I have never seen a cissus quadrangularis with the growth habit of your little friend.
