Hello, it's Diva Week part two. And I hope you are all looking at your fiddly figs in a slightly different light after Thomas's advice on Friday.

Some of you did say, oh, I find the fiddle leaf fig is super easy.

But of course, not every diva is a diva in every situation.

So good luck to you if you find the fiddle a good, an easy plant. And today's

plant is sisus discolour, the begonia vine. And I'm joined by professional horticulturist and

plant geek Leslie Halleck. Leslie, we are here to talk about sisus discolour.our. I was surprised when I suggested this to you

because you seem to think this is a really easy plant, or not an easy plant, but it's not a diva.

Let's talk about cisis discolour and why some people struggle with it and why it's easy for others.

Well, I think that as a plant parent,

right, as with human children, you know, different plants are going to present different

challenges to different house plant keepers depending on your particular situation and your

personal habits and your personal, you know, personality, you know, your approach

towards plant care and water. So what may be easy for one person may present challenges for another.

And that is no judgment on anybody's plant parenting skills. So even though I can't say that I

have a lot of challenges with cis-sic color. I know why some people do, because it

can be a little persnickety about things like temperature. So temperature, it likes it warm. So this plant,

some people call it tapestry vine or begonia vine, even though it is not a begonia. It's actually

in the Vitasi family, so it's related to grapes.

But it is from warm regions in Java and Cambodia.

And so what can often happen where I think people run into struggles with it is if it gets a little chilly,

if it gets cold in your house in the winter, or maybe you have it

next to a window or a window sill where it gets cold, it will just drop leaves on you all of a sudden.
