Unlike conventional climbing plants, its thick green stems are almost succulent in character, often developing reddish edges and a striking jointed structure. Small leaves may appear along the younger growth, while mature stems can become more prominent as the plant develops. This unusual combination makes Cissus quadrangularis an appealing addition to collections of botanical rarities and succulent plants. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBotanical Profile\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNative to tropical and seasonally dry regions of Africa, Madagascar, the Arabian Peninsula and the Indian subcontinent, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCissus quadrangularis\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a perennial climbing plant that attaches itself with tendrils.
