Veldt Grape Ivy (weight loss) - Cissus quadrangularis

Veldt grape is a succulent plant that has it all: it’s highly ornamental, it has medicinal benefits, and it’s edible, too. It’s not a grape, but its common name stems from its growth habit of producing long, grape-like tendrils. You may also know it as winged treebine or adamant creeper. The fruit and various parts are edible—sometimes used in curries—although it's often sold as a supplement for its health benefits. Veldt grape has been touted as an anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, antioxidant that provides pain relief. Some people have found it useful in treating diabetes, obesity, hemorrhoids, allergies, arthritis, asthma, and osteoporosis.   Average mature height: 5 to 15 feet Light requirements: Part to full sun USDA hardiness zones: 10-12 Soil: Well-drained, almost completely dry
