Cissus tuberosa: Succulent Grape Ivy

Cissus tuberosa is a unique, caudiciform vine from the Vitaceae family, native to South America. It forms a large, above-ground, woody tuber (caudex) from which vining stems with simple, lobed leaves emerge.

It's grown for its curious, sculptural caudex and attractive foliage. Prefers bright light, well-drained soil, and a dry winter rest. A fascinating specimen for collectors of caudiciform plants. Synonym: Vitis tuberosa.
