Oak Leaf Ivy - Cissus rhombifolia 'Ellen Danica' - House Plants Delivery Toronto - JOMO Studio

How to care for Oak Leaf Ivy

Sun: Direct & Indirect

They enjoy some direct sun, but they'll also do well in bright, indirect light. It is best to place this plant somewhere where it will receive some nice morning sun, or a couple hours of afternoon sun, and then indirect light the rest of the day.

Light: Medium

They will do well in medium light but will grow faster with brighter light. A good medium-light place in your home would be in the middle of a room that has a regular size window. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

Water: When mostly dry

They like the soil to be relatively dry before the next watering. That usually takes about 2 weeks in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions, but for them, it's always safer to underwater or water when you see signs of lack of water (i.e. droopy, floppy, or soft leaves). Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.

Humidity: Any

They can live in any average home humidity condition and are fairly hardy.

Care Tips

To keep your plant looking full and bushy, feel free to trim long runners and repot them. Use sharp, clean scissors and carefully cut just below a leaf node. Then, remove the leaf at that node and plant that part of the stem. This is where the roots will form.

Pet Friendly

You can feel comfortable having this plant around your home in the potential case where your pet feels like nibbling on it. However, we typically recommend keeping your pets from eating any of your houseplants..

Sun: Direct

They love as much heat and sun as possible. The best spot for them is outdoors where they can see the sun for the majority of the day (at least 6 hours).

Light: Bright

They will do their best and fruit profusely in bright light. A nice bright place outside would be on a sunny balcony, deck, or backyard. Remember that plants will grow and flower based on how much light they receive.

Humidity: High

They like a high humidity environment. Outdoors, this should happen naturally in the summer.

As it grows taller, consider supporting it with a cage, trellis, or stakes in order to support its growth. It is good to use a water-soluble fertilizer, a 20-20-20 general-purpose will work though if you are investing in a fertilizer there are tomato-specific brands available. Follow the strength recommendation on the packaging. Keep your plant protected from any wind and in temperatures above 12°C.
