Cissus discolor

Cissus discolor

Meet your next showstopper: the Cissus discolor, also known as the Rex Begonia Vine, is a striking tropical climbing plant treasured for its dramatic foliage, not flowers. Its heart-shaped leaves are deeply veined and textured with a stunning combination of metallic silver, emerald green, and burgundy-purple, giving it an almost velvet-like appearance.

Unlike true begonias, Cissus discolor is a member of the grape family (Vitaceae), and it grows as a fast-climbing or trailing vine. Perfect for trellises, hanging baskets, or trained along indoor supports, this rare houseplant turns heads in every setting. Though it prefers a bit of pampering, the payoff is a high-impact, high-drama beauty with truly unforgettable leaves.

Sun Requirements ▾

Prefers bright, indirect light to bring out the boldest color contrasts. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the leaves, and low light, which may dull its variegation.

Watering Instructions ▾

Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top 1 inch of soil feels dry. Reduce watering slightly in cooler months, but don’t let it dry out completely.

Care Tips ▾

Soil: Thrives in a light, well-draining soil mix—use potting soil with added perlite or orchid bark to improve drainage and root aeration. Fertilizer: Feed every 2–4 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer to support vibrant foliage and healthy growth. Skip feeding during winter dormancy. Humidity: Loves high humidity (50–70%). If the air is dry, mist regularly or use a pebble tray or humidifier to prevent browning leaf edges.
