Scientific Name History

Previously or alternatively classified as: Vitis voinieriana
Large glossy compound leaves with several serrated leaflets grow on a vigorous tendril-climbing vine.

Plant Mood Meter: Needs a Little Love
Preserve the species/cultivar's actual growth habit and category-specific care rather than flattening it into generic houseplant guidance.
Care guide
Bright indirect light. Direct sun: Gentle direct sun may be tolerated after acclimation, depending on species.
Water after the upper portion begins drying; keep climbing tropical roots airy and avoid prolonged saturation.
Airy, well-draining tropical or epiphytic mix matched to the species.
Average to moderate humidity is suitable; thin-leaved tropical vines often appreciate steadier humidity.
Provide a trellis or vertical support for climbers; allow naturally trailing species to cascade.
