Cissus tuberosa is a fun plant to grow, making an engorged, swollen-looking caudex with a remarkably fast growing vine. The nodes along the vine progressively thicken into mini-cau dexes and can be pulled off and easily propagated into new thick-stemmed plants. Like distant relative Cyphostemma, this succulent species is in the grape family, and is actually one of the few caudiciforms of this nature from Mexico, once offered as Cissus mexicana. A great beginner caudex plant, quite forgiving of less than ideal conditions and readily adaptable to indoor houseplant culture if the vine can access enough light. Show more
