Frequently asked questions
Is it better to train a Cissus to climb or trail? Both work very well — it depends on the decorative effect you want. On a stake or trellis, it creates a dense, graphic green screen. From a high shelf, its stems elegantly cascade down. You can also combine both on the same plant.
How do you make a Cissus bushier? Regularly pinch the tips of the stems — this is the key action. Each pinched stem produces two new shoots and thickens the growth. Without pinching, the plant produces long, thin, sparsely branched stems.

🌿 Deeply lobed, glossy dark green leaves • 🌱 Climbing or trailing depending on placement • ☀️ Partial shade to indirect light • 💧 Moderate watering • 🚀 Vigorous growth • 🐾 Non-toxic
The Cissus rhombifolia 'Ellen Danica', also known as Grape ivy, is a tropical climbing plant native to the humid forests of Central and South America. Its glossy, dark green, deeply lobed leaves evoke elegant, graphic vine foliage — it climbs on a support and trails from a shelf, creating a generous and dynamic plant display in both cases. H70 cm | Pot Ø17 cm.
Non-toxic and easy to care for. A reliable choice among climbing plants.
Light & placement
- Ideal light: bright indirect light to partial shade.
- Tolerates: low light — one of the most adaptable climbing plants for shade.
- Avoid: direct sun, which can scorch the delicate leaves.
- Temperature: 18–25 °C, without sudden fluctuations.
- Support: stake, trellis, or shelf edge depending on the desired effect.
Install a stake or trellis to guide its growth and create a spectacular climbing effect. Its ideal placement depends on the balance between light and humidity.
Watering & care
- Watering: moderate — let the surface of the substrate dry out between waterings.
- Frequency: approximately once a week in spring and summer, reduced in winter.
- Drainage: a drainage hole is essential — it prefers slightly dry substrate to waterlogged substrate.
- Fertilizer: diluted liquid fertilizer for green plants every 2-4 weeks in spring and summer.
- Pruning: pinch the tips to encourage branching and a bushier growth habit.
Easy to propagate from cuttings — cut a stem and plant it directly in slightly moist substrate to obtain a new plant within a few weeks. The watering frequency should be adapted to the season.
Decor ideas & plant combinations
Its graphic, lobed foliage creates an elegant interplay of light and shade — both airy and generous depending on how it is guided.
- On a support: guide the stems upwards along a moss pole or trellis — the dense foliage creates a graphic, natural plant screen.
- As a trailing plant: from a high shelf, its stems cascade elegantly for a waterfall-like plant effect. Combine it with other trailing plants.
- Pairing: pair it with a Scindapsus Trebie or a Philodendron Scandens Brasil for a trio of climbing plants with highly contrasting foliage.
Verdeia tips
- Pinch the tips regularly — each pinched stem produces two new shoots. This is the most effective way to obtain a dense, bushy plant rather than long, thin stems.
- Some leaf drop after installation is normal — Cissus gradually adapts to its new environment. Keep conditions stable and new leaves will grow back quickly.
- Repot every 2-3 years — in spring, using a light, well-draining substrate. Repotting in spring is sufficient, in a pot only slightly larger.
- 🐾 Non-toxic — Cissus is completely safe for cats and dogs. In a home with pets, you'll find more ideas among our pet-friendly plants.

FAQ – Everything to know before adopting your Verdeia plant
How are my plants prepared before shipping?
All our plants are selected from our European partner nurseries. Before shipping, they are watered, cleaned, and protected with breathable, secure packaging. Each package is designed to ensure your plant arrives in perfect health, without any transport-related stress.
Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.
What are the delivery times and conditions?
Orders ship within 48 working hours, with tracked delivery in 2 to 5 working days via DPD. Shipping costs and the free-shipping threshold depend on your country — see our delivery page. You receive a tracking link as soon as your parcel leaves.
What should I do when my plant arrives?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What should I do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Can I return a plant?
Since plants are living beings, standard returns are not possible. However, we guarantee good health upon delivery: if the plant arrives damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. For any other cases (order error, decorative pot, accessory), returns are possible within 14 days.
