General Information and Care: Cissus amazonica, also known as the Amazon Jungle Vine, is a beautiful small leaved vine for terrariums. Typically the leaves will stay around 2-3” in length and only about ½-1” wide. The leaf surface is typically silver with white veins, while the underside is a bright burgundy. As it grows, it will climb using tendrils which will wrap around other plants or hardscape items to help it ramble around a terrarium. This is a slower growing species compared to many others and will not require regular pruning.
