I adore my Grape Ivy too. You can prune it just slightly to pull it back into shape, or you can get aggressive with your cuttings and have a whole second plant in no time. Mine roots so easily in soil, I don't bother putting it in water any more.

I prune mine for the shape I am after. I want it to cascade over a tall stand I have in the dining room. I sort of layer mine like a shag haircut (If you remember those) so that the pretty new growth it puts out is all over the plant, not just on stems all one length.

I was a bit apprehensive to chop on mine at first, but once I got started it was very easy to shape, and even fun.

I found more to read about this plant when I searched with the name Cissus Rhombifolia, as well as Grape Ivy. The Cissus striata, a mini little relative is adorable. Please google it, I bet you fall in love like I did. Good luck.

Thank you so much for your help,Laurie.really appreciate it!

Your plant sounds amazing, Maria!

Thank you Laurie,it is!
