Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Cissus quadrangularis is drought-tolerant and prone to root rot if overwatered.
In its active growing season (spring/summer), water thoroughly when the top 5-10 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering significantly in the dormant winter months.
Prune to maintain shape and size, or to remove any dead or damaged stems. This can be done at any time of year, but is best done in spring before new growth begins. Cuttings can be used for propagation.
Pruning also encourages bushier growth.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings, typically 10-15 cm long. Allow the cut ends to callus over for a few days before planting in well-draining soil or rooting medium.
Keep the cuttings slightly moist and in bright, indirect light until roots form.
Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one, with drainage holes. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend.
Repot in spring, coinciding with the start of its active growth phase.
