Cultural information: "Grape" ivies are a beautiful climbing plant. Their foliage is a luxurious glossy green that looks similar to our "Poison Ivy" that grows outdoors.

Place your "Grape Ivy" in bright filtered light. Direct sunshine will burn the foliage of this plant. Direct early morning or late evening sun is ok. "Grape Ivy" does not drink a lot of water. Check weekly allowing the plant to dry down to just before the wilting point. Feed monthly with a balanced plant food like Peter's. If your plant gets a white dusty like stuff on it... it's probably powdery mildew. You can control the mildew by simply spraying your plant with household... aerosol Lysol. "Grape Ivies" are available in nearly every pot size up to 10" hanging baskets, including poles and trellises.
