Cissus anisophylla

A little-documented climbing Cissus from western Ecuador and northern Peru, recorded from coastal lowlands up to about 2,100 m. Treat it like other tropical Cissus vines: warm, bright filtered light, steady moisture in the wet months and a somewhat drier spell mid-year.

Where it grows wild

Most records come from the western slopes and lowlands of Ecuador, where it climbs through forest edges and secondary growth. Details beyond the records are thin; the habitat is inferred from the genus.

Recorded from 5 to about 2,100 m, median around 1,000 m; plants from higher sites will want cooler nights.
