I have a mermaid vine that seems to be having trouble. I am unable to find info on how to care for it. Any suggestions?

A Mermaid vine, aka Cissus Rhombifolia. Look at the following link: http://www.plantcare.com/encyclopedia/grape-ivy-301.aspx

Thank you so much for the info. My plant is a bit different from the one pictured on the link. I have a pic but I'm unsure how to attach it for you to view. I love this plant and I've had it for approx. 4 years. Never had a problem with it until I repotted it last spring. The leaves are not as green and the plant appears droppy.

With the Mermaid vine, aka grape Ivy, there is quite a few types and it could be why it doesn't look exactly like it. As for the droopy leaves, is usually caused by too much light.

Thank you so much for the info. I will try moving it spots as it hangs near a window with full sun in the morning till mid-afternoon.
