Cissus Discolor Rex

Cissus discolor, a captivating member of the Vitaceae family, hails from the tropical forests of Java where it grows hemiepiphytically. Often called the Begonia rex vine due to its asymmetrical, colorful leaves, it is unrelated to the Begonia genus. This unique plant is known for its striking foliage and makes an intriguing addition to any indoor garden, though it can be a bit challenging to cultivate as a houseplant.

Cissus discolor thrives in bright, indirect to partial or filtered direct sunlight. It prefers a chunky, well-draining potting mix and benefits from mild to high temperatures combined with consistently high humidity. Allow the soil to superficially dry between waterings but avoid letting it become bone dry to keep your plant healthy and vibrant. Repotting is rarely necessary, making it a low-maintenance option for experienced plant enthusiasts.

Your plant will arrive handpicked in a 6” grower’s pot, ready to establish itself in its new home. Please unpack your green friend promptly and inspect it within 24 hours to ensure it arrives in optimal condition. Minor soil displacement during transit is normal and nothing to worry about. Seasonal availability means the exact appearance of your plant may vary slightly from online photos, but each specimen is uniquely charming.

Note that Cissus discolor may be toxic to pets, so placement should be considered carefully in pet-friendly households.

We are committed to helping your plant thrive and are here to support you every step of the way. Enjoy the lush, textured beauty of this tropical vine and elevate your indoor plant collection with its vibrant foliage and distinctive character. 💚
