Cissus discolor (rex begonia vine)

A tropical vine with heart shaped beautifully coloured leaves, that have a burgundy vein with dark green and silver markings and red underneath. The Rex Begonia Vine climbs with pink tendrils, it requires bright conditions with mainly indirect/dappled light and regular watering.

Please note, the planter is not included in the price.

Watering

Water regularly and thoroughly so the water reaches the plant’s deeper roots. Allow the top soil to dry out between each watering and make sure the roots are never sitting in water for a prolonged period.

Light requirements

Requires some direct sunlight, not recommended for low light conditions. A lack of light can lead to leggy stems / low growth rate / loss of leaves.

Care tips

• Avoid placing the planter next to radiators or draughty windows. 
• Carefully wipe the leaves from time-to-time to remove any dust.
• Prune out any brown leaves or stems by cutting as close the next stem or the base of the plant as possible.
• Use some fertiliser during warmer months i.e. April to September (little and often is best for consistent growth).
