How to fertilize Cissus Alata
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Cissus Alata after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

What are these bumps all over the new growth? My cissus discolor has been popping off a crazy amount of growth lately. Was checking in on her new leaves and a handful have these bumps all over them…what is this? Edit: some more info - I don’t believe there are any pests, its got systemic in the soil and I regularly wipe down the leaves with captain jacks. After doing some reading it says that this type of plant does this as a stress response to a pest or a disease? #GregGang

Some of the leaves are drying up & stems are brown. Not the whole plant, just some. I followed the directions the day I got it too. #GrapeIvy
