Grape ivy distinguishes itself with tendrils that often split or are absent on the opposite side of each node. This perennial vine's leaf structure is alternately compound, and its leaflets exhibit a rhombic shape with toothed edges and a glossy finish. Mature specimens typically feature dark green foliage, indicative of sufficient nourishment. When cultivated indoors, it has a preference for bright, but indirect, lighting conditions, and maintains a moderate growth rate provided it receives periodic dry spells between waterings. Outdoors, it can thrive to achieve lengths up to 10 feet (3 meters) with a breadth spanning 3 to 6 feet (around 0.9 to 1.8 meters).
