## Cambodian Wild Grape Ampelocissus Martini

**[Ampelocissus martini](https://seedlingsindia.com/cambodian-wild-grape-ampelocissus-martini/)**, commonly known as the **[Cambodian Wild Grape](https://seedlingsindia.in/products/cambodian-wild-grape-ampelocissus-martini?_pos=1&_psq=Cambodian+Wild+Grape+Ampelocissus+Martini&_ss=e&_v=1.0)**, is a rare and highly sought-after **caudiciform vine** native to Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, and parts of Vietnam. It belongs to the grape family (**Vitaceae**) and is prized for its impressive swollen caudex and vigorous climbing growth.

### Key Features

-   **Growth Type:** Deciduous caudiciform climber.
-   **Caudex:** Large, woody, potato-like caudex that stores water and nutrients.
-   **Vines:** Fast-growing climbing stems that emerge during the growing season.
-   **Leaves:** Large, attractive green leaves with serrated margins, resembling grape leaves.
-   **Flowers:** Small, greenish-yellow flowers produced in clusters.
-   **Fruits:** Small grape-like berries that turn dark when mature.

### Caudex Pattern

Young plants develop a rounded, smooth caudex that gradually becomes:

-   Thick and corky
-   Deeply fissured and textured with age
-   Irregular and sculptural, making mature specimens highly desirable among collectors.

The exposed caudex can eventually reach **20–50 cm (8–20 inches)** or more in diameter under ideal conditions.

### Growing Conditions

**Light:**  
Prefers **bright indirect light to partial sun**. Mature plants can tolerate morning or filtered direct sun.

**Soil:**  
Requires a **very well-draining mix**, such as:

-   40% cactus mix
-   30% pumice or perlite
-   30% coarse sand or grit

**Watering:**

-   Water regularly during active growth (spring and summer).
-   Allow the soil to partially dry between waterings.
-   Reduce watering significantly during dormancy after the leaves drop.

**Temperature:**

-   Ideal range: **20–35°C**.
-   Protect from temperatures below **10°C**.

### Growth Cycle

-   **Spring:** New vines and leaves emerge.
-   **Summer:** Vigorous climbing growth.
-   **Autumn:** Growth slows.
-   **Winter:** Plant becomes dormant and may lose all leaves.

### Care Tips

-   Provide a **trellis or support** for the climbing vines.
-   Grow in a **shallow clay pot** to showcase the caudex.
-   Fertilize lightly during active growth with a balanced fertilizer.
-   Avoid keeping the soil wet during dormancy.

### Propagation

-   **Seeds:** Produce the best caudex development.
-   **Stem cuttings:** Possible but usually result in less impressive caudex formation.

### Uses

-   Collector's caudiciform specimen.
-   Bonsai and caudex display plant.
-   Excellent for creating dramatic container displays with exposed roots and caudex.
