Although the Cissus discolour is commonly named the “Begonia Vine,” the plant isn’t related to begonias. Despite its begonia-like, beautiful, eye-catching leaves and shared nickname, it’s part of the grape family, Vitaceae. This family connection makes it a relative to the grapevines we’re more familiar with, even though the plant’s primary appeal is its ornamental foliage rather than any fruit.

- How should I propagate the Cissus Discolor cuttings for the best chance of success?
- Propagate the cuttings in sphagnum moss, ensuring they are kept in a warm environment with temperatures above 21 degrees Celsius and high humidity. Regularly mist the moss to maintain moisture without saturating it completely.
- Can the Cissus Discolor thrive in terrarium environments?
- Yes, the Cissus Discolor can be a good addition to terrariums due to its need for high humidity. However, ensure the terrarium is spacious enough to accommodate its growth and climbing nature.
- What are the light requirements for these cuttings once they start to grow?
- Once the cuttings begin to develop, they should be placed in medium light conditions, avoiding direct sunlight which can scorch the leaves but ensuring enough light to promote growth.
☀️ Light

The Cissus Discolor thrives in medium light conditions. It enjoys bright, indirect sunlight. Direct sunlight might scorch its stunning leaves, so a spot with filtered light is ideal.
💧 Water

High humidity is key to successful propagation and growth of your Cissus Discolor. Consider using a humidity tray or a humidifier to maintain optimal moisture levels in the air.

For propagating your Cissus Discolor cuttings, sphagnum moss is recommended due to its moisture retention properties and support for root growth. Ensure the moss is moist but not waterlogged.
