The leaves are huge and provide excellent coverage for a large area. It does produce tendrils and will climb a nearby Norfolk Island pine or anything else available. It may be a challenge to find the right place for this vine, but it can be lots of fun. Leaves are made up of groups of 4 or 5 leaflets. The newest growth is a glossy bright green and covered by a woolly fuzz.
Older growth takes on a matte look.
They tend to be a little brittle, but any pieces that break off can be easily rooted. They need bright light, no direct afternoon sun and lots of humidity. Feed them just as you would regular grape ivy. A good example of why common plant names can cause some confusion, Swedish ivy is neither an ivy nor Swedish. It is actually from Australia and isn't even a distant relative of the true ivies.
