Cissus discolor
Also Known As - Rex begonia vineTapestry vine (Cissus discolor) is an evergreen climber from South and Southeast Asia. It has distinguishable wiry woody stems and oval-shaped leaves which turn to beautiful shades of light red and purple in the fall. The fast-growing plant is an excellent choice for adding height to walls, fences or trellises. In tropical climates, it produces star-shaped white flowers throughout summer and clusters of glossy black berries in the autumn. Tapestry Vine makes an attractive, living privacy screen and pairs very well with flowering climbers for a beautiful garden display.

watering
Tapestry vine prefers evenly moist soil, so it should be watered when the top inch or 2 of soil feels somewhat dry. During the plant's active growth in the spring and summer, you may need to water every 1-3 days, but in the fall and winter, you can water once a week. Be sure to always check the soil before watering, as overwatering can be just as damaging as underwatering.
sunlight
Tapestry vines need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight to thrive. Ideally, they prefer 6 to 7 hours of sunlight which is usually available when the sun is at its highest in the sky during the summer months. Tapestry vines should also receive partial shade in the afternoon since they are not well adapted to extreme hot weather.
pruning
Tapestry Vine (Cissus discolor) should be pruned annually in the winter when the plant is dormant. Light pruning should be done during the growing season to keep the plant neat and compact. Cut back the stems to about 3 inches from the ground and remove any weak or damaged stems. Prune overgrown vines to the desired size and shape. Avoid pruning more than 1/3 of the plant at once. You may also want to remove any dead or stray leaves throughout the growing season to maintain a tidy appearance.
