Description
Origin
Cissus rhombifolia ‘Ellen Danica’, also known by the common name Oak Leaf Ivy, originates from the tropical forests of Central and South America. There, this houseplant often grows as a climbing plant in trees. It is also frequently cultivated indoors due to its ability to adapt to less-than-ideal conditions.
Characteristics
‘Ellen Danica’ is distinguished by its large, shiny leaves that resemble oak leaves, hence its nickname Oak Leaf Ivy. This houseplant has a trailing growth and can be propagated. The plant can reach a length of 3 meters and often produces small, inconspicuous flowers. This ivy is appreciated for the decorative value of its leaves.
Care
Cissus rhombifolia ‘Ellen Danica’ prefers a bright location but cannot tolerate direct sunlight. It should be watered regularly, but it’s important that the soil dries slightly between waterings. Additionally, this plant likes high air humidity, so it can be useful to mist it occasionally with water. During the growing season, from spring to autumn, the plant benefits from regular fertilization.
