Cissus antarctica

Kangaroo vine is a perennial climbing vine or shrub, popular when grown as a houseplant, that performs well in bright to low light situations as well as in hanging baskets. Outdoors, it can reach a length of 13 to 20 feet. When grown indoors, it can spread to 7 to 10 feet, but can easily be pruned to maintain a desired shape. If grown outdoors, it will need to be supported by a trellis. Once established, plants should be kept in the same location as they dislike change. 

Plant in a potting mix and site in a pot with excellent drainage. Kangaroo vine requires little to moderate watering and you should allow the soil to dry between watering. Site the plant in diffused sunshine to partial shade and provide fertilizer. You can pinch back leaves for a more bushy habit. Leaves will turn brown and die if placed in drafty areas or near heating vents.

During the growing period, Kangaroo vine prefers temperatures of  61 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit. During its dormant phase, temperatures should not be higher than 59 degrees Fahrenheit during its dormant phase.

Diseases, Insect Pests, and Other Plant Problems: 

Susceptible to leafspots, mildews, mealybugs, spider mites, and scales. The leaves may fall if the plant is too wet or too dry. Subject to root rot/pests.
