Have a bare wall either vertically or horizontally that needs covering?

Then consider this plant; it’s a climbing ornamental plant, that adds a touch of green and reduces your cooling costs as well in the bargain! If you are wondering how it manages to stick to the wall, then here’s the answer; it secretes calcium carbonate which serves as a natural adhesive pad and enables Grape Ivy to attach itself to a wall without requiring additional support.

Leaves are 5-22 cm across. Flowers are inconspicuous, greenish, in clusters. Fruit is a small dark blue grape 5-10 mm diameter. It is widely grown as a climbing ornamental plant to cover the fences and walls.

Again, it’s a sturdy plant tolerant to indoor growing conditions so won’t demand much from you in terms of care and therefore fits in perfectly well with your tight schedules!

Different Varieties of Grape Ivy: Amazon Vine, Angel Queen Grape Ivy, Ellen Danica Grape Ivy, Mandiana Grape Ivy, Striata Grape Ivy

Light: Grape ivy grows well in low lights and thrives in temperatures ranging from 68-82 F
Soil: You would need to bear in mind that, since the roots require excellent aeration, a potting mixture of peat, bark, perlite, water, styrofoam and calcined clay will aid water retention and allow for excellent drainage.
Water: The plant requires a medium quantity of water since too much watering can lead to it’s leaves dropping off prematurely.
