Finding light for Grape Ivy in your home
a window
Grape Ivy may have difficulty thriving, and will drop leaves 🍃, without ample sunlight.
Place it less than 3 feet from a south-facing window to maximize the potential for growth.
Select your region to see how the current weather in your area affects the placement of Grape Ivy in your home 🏡.
How to fertilize Grape Ivy
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Grape Ivy after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

How can I keep my cissus striata / grape ivy happy? I bought this stunning cissus striata / miniature grape ivy on Saturday, and finally found somewhere to put it, it's in a north window but up high so doesn't get any direct sun, but filtered light. It is over 4 foot long so I want to keep it healthy, how best to do this? #cissus #grapeivy #veronavein #sugarvine
