Plant Profile: Cissus antarctica

Kangaroo vine is a favored indoor plant that thrives in a range of lighting conditions, from bright to low light, and is particularly suited for hanging baskets. It can reach heights of 7 to 10 feet when grown indoors and features a light, airy appearance. It's essential to use pots with excellent drainage to support its growth.

For optimal results, plant it in a quality potting mix and regularly pinch back the leaves to encourage a fuller, bushier shape. Be cautious, as the leaves may turn brown and fall off if the plant is exposed to drafts or positioned near heating vents. Once the kangaroo vine is settled in its spot, it prefers to remain undisturbed, as it does not adapt well to changes in its environment. You can either let it cascade as a hanging plant or train it to climb a trellis.
