Cissus discolor

What is Included:

Plant Type: Cissus discolor (Rex Begonia Vine)
Form: Fresh vine cutting (see photo for example of what you’ll receive)

Rarity:

Cissus discolor is a highly ornamental and moderately rare vine, known for its bold, velvety leaves with striking purple undersides and silver veining. While it’s becoming more known among collectors, it’s still uncommon in standard houseplant shops and remains a showstopper in any collection.

Plant Care Instructions:

• Ease of Care: Moderate; fast-growing but needs stable humidity and warmth

• Light Needs: Bright, indirect light is best to keep the color strong—avoid direct sun

• Humidity Needs: Prefers moderate to high humidity (50–80%) to thrive

• Packaging: Cuttings are wrapped in moist Sphagnum Moss and sealed for freshness during shipping

• How to Plant: Place the cutting in water, moss, or loose soil. Keep humid and warm—roots form in 1–2 weeks with proper care

How It’s Propagated:

Each cutting includes at least one node from an actively growing vine. Rooting is fast in moss or water under stable humidity. This is a fast climber once rooted.

About the Plant:
