Cissus alata 'Ellen Danica'

Cissus alata 'Ellen Danica' is a compact ornamental grape ivy with deeply cut, glossy green leaflets and a bushy vining habit. It climbs with forked tendrils and also trails from a hanging pot, where the divided leaves form a layered, textured cascade.

Cissus rhombifolia is a synonym of Cissus alata, so Cissus rhombifolia 'Ellen Danica' may appear as an alternative name for the same grape ivy cultivar.

Glossy lobed grape ivy traits

  • Evergreen tendril climber with a compact, bushy habit
  • Deeply lobed, glossy green leaflets with toothed edges
  • Trails from pots and shelves, or uses forked tendrils on a slim trellis
  • Forked tendrils appear opposite the leaves
  • Also known as Cissus rhombifolia 'Ellen Danica'

Vining habit and tropical range

Cissus alata is native from Mexico through Central and South America to Bolivia and Trinidad, where it grows as a tropical liana. Indoors, 'Ellen Danica' keeps the climbing character of the species but develops denser growth and more finely divided leaflets.

The leaves are compound, usually with three leaflets. In 'Ellen Danica', the leaflet edges are strongly cut, giving the plant a crisp, lobed outline. Small greenish flowers and dark berries are part of the species’ natural cycle, but they are uncommon indoors.

The stems can be pinched several times through the growing season to keep the plant leafy near the pot. Older vines may become woody at the base, while fresh shoots carry the glossiest, most finely divided foliage.

Keeping Ellen Danica leafy

  • Light: Keep the vine in bright, indirect light. Softer light is tolerated, but growth becomes more open when the plant receives limited brightness for long periods.
  • Watering: Let the upper substrate dry before watering again. Keep moisture steadier from spring to autumn and reduce watering in winter.
  • Substrate: Provide a well-drained, airy mix with some moisture retention. A peat-free houseplant mix with perlite, bark, or pumice gives the roots good airflow.
  • Temperature: Keep above 10 °C; regular indoor warmth keeps new shoots firmer.
  • Humidity: Standard indoor humidity is enough for steady growth. Avoid direct hot airflow, which can dry the leaf edges and tender shoot tips.
  • Feeding: Use a diluted fertiliser during active growth if the plant is producing new shoots. Deep green leaves usually indicate sufficient nutrition.
  • Pruning: Trim long shoots to keep the plant full. Cuttings root readily from healthy stem sections.
  • Training: Let it trail from a raised pot, or guide the tendrils onto a trellis for more upright growth.
  • Airflow: Keep dense growth lightly thinned so the inner stems dry normally after watering and pest checks are easier.

Leaflet, tendril and root checks

  • Leaf drop: Check for a watering swing. This species can shed leaves when kept too wet or allowed to dry too hard.
  • Pale, stretched growth: Usually points to low light. Move gradually into a brighter position.
  • Leaf spots or mildew: Improve airflow, keep foliage dry overnight, and check that the substrate drains quickly.
  • Mealybugs, scale, or spider mites: Inspect stems, leaf joints, and undersides, especially on dense trailing growth.

Pet-friendly listing and access

ASPCA records grape ivy under Cissus rhombifolia as non-toxic to cats and dogs. Chewed leaves may still irritate sensitive stomachs, so trim damaged growth and keep grazing pets away.

Cissus name and synonym note

Cissus alata 'Ellen Danica' carries glossy lobed leaflets, fine tendrils and a full grape ivy habit.

Favorite White Tee
Size: Medium, Color: White 4-pack
Love these simple white tees. They don't shrink and are adequately sized. They wash well. My 6 year old loves them too. Light and comfortable. They can be dressed with jeans, shorts, work as an undershirt or pajama shirt. Favorite white tees for any outfit. Excellent priced. Great shirts overall.

Great for pajama shirts
Size: Large, Color: White 4-pack
Shirts are true to size. The material is soft and not too thin. We used these as pajama shirts for my preteen and he got a lot of use out of them. Pro - cheap and well made Con - they did shrink slightly after a few washes so the shirt is shorter. Didn’t impact our use though

Pay attention to the size chart
Size: Large, Color: White 2-pack, Size: Large, Color: White 2-pack
Good price for 2 undershirts. Retail price on the item packaging says $16.95. The shirts are thin and semi see-through but these are meant to be layered under another top. Have not washed yet but there's a good chance they will shrink a bit. Had to return the first time because of inaccurate/unhelpful size chart. For reference, see the actual size chart on the product packaging (I attached to this review). Originally purchased a Medium for a 10yo average build child, it was too short. Large is the correct size.
