This is a fascinating climbing succulent to me and I'm experimenting with eating it!

Cissus Quadrangularis has been used since ancient times and is one the most used medicinal plants in Thailand and throughout the Middle east and Asia. It is used, and has been used for centuries in India to promote muscle and bone development and healing. It is said to help torn tendons and broken bones heal up to 50% faster, and is also said to be hugely instrumental in battling obesity and weight loss. I should start eating it more! Ha! Its fast growing and a climbing succulent...
