Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my Cissus Rhombifolia dropping leaves after a light or location change?

Grape Ivy is sensitive to abrupt changes in light and temperature. Some leaf drop after a move is normal transplant stress and typically stabilizes within a few weeks once conditions are consistent.

Can I train Cissus Rhombifolia to climb a trellis?

Yes — its natural tendrils grip onto supports readily, so a trellis, moss pole, or string trellis will encourage it to climb rather than trail, giving a fuller, more vertical look.
