epiphytic plant
Like other epiphytic vines, it grows roots from its leaf axils, which take hold of its supports, allowing the plant to climb.

Plants such as New Zealand species of Griselinia, which send long roots down towards the soil whilst fixed high in another plant and reliant upon it for physical support, are also epiphytic in habit.
