Trailing growth: Approximately 70cm long
Native Habitat and Growth Habit
Parthenocissus striata is native to South America, where it grows as a climbing or trailing vine in forested regions. Indoors, it retains this sprawling habit, producing long, slender stems with delicate, finely lobed green leaves. It grows quickly and can either cascade from pots or be trained to climb supports.
Care Requirements for Parthenocissus striata
Light:
Place Parthenocissus striata in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some shade, but lower light will slow growth and reduce leaf density.
Water:
Water when the top 2–3cm of compost feels dry. Avoid overwatering and ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Humidity & Temperature:
Parthenocissus striata does well in normal UK indoor conditions. Average room temperatures (15–24°C) are ideal. It appreciates moderate humidity but does not require tropical levels.
Soil:
Use a well-draining houseplant compost. Adding perlite or orchid bark can improve aeration and drainage.
Feeding:
Feed every 4–6 weeks in the growing season (spring and summer) with our Organic Tropical Plant Food, formulated to support strong, healthy foliage and root development.

We post to most of the UK, but we’re unable to deliver to the Scottish Highlands and Islands, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, the Isle of Wight, the Scilly Isles and the Channel Islands because of higher shipping costs.
When we list a plant’s height, it always includes the grow pot, stem, foliage and living root system — not just what you see above the soil. Because every plant is unique, yours may arrive a little smaller or larger than the size listed.
