Cissus Antarctica

Does anyone have one of these plants?  My beloved 18 year old cissus Antarctica died recently.  They are really difficult to come by in the UK. I don't suppose anyone has a cutting I could have?

    I'd never heard of it @lindy18 so I looked it up and found this outlet which seems to be cultivating them for this season

    It's not a plant I would ever have as it's so tender, but in the meantime, perhaps someone on the forum in the south, with a conservatory or similar might have one too  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    I should say - I've never used that nursery, never heard of it, but it was the first thing that came up. Perhaps worth contacting them though.  :)

    It was a houseplant that gives a flavour of the '60s.  But nowt wrong with being out of fashion.

    Ask in the houseplant section f a reliable garden centre.  They might be able to pint you in the right direction.

    Thanks bede. Unfortunately I've asked at many garden centres to no avail. I tried the nursery mentioned upthread but not had any success with them.
