Stephania Erecta Plant

  • Product Info

    Meet the Stephania Erecta, a seriously cool plant that looks like a little piece of living art. It starts as a round, woody bulb that looks a bit like a potato, but it grows delicate vines covered in perfectly round, umbrella-like green leaves. It has a clean, minimalist look that stands out on any shelf or desk. If you love unique plants that get people talking, this is definitely one to add to your collection.

  • Care guide:

    Light:
    Place it in a spot with bright, indirect sunlight. It loves light but direct, harsh sun can scorch its delicate leaves.

    Water:
    Water it thoroughly only when the soil has completely dried out. When the plant goes dormant in the winter and loses its leaves, stop watering entirely until new growth appears in the spring.

    Soil:
    Use a very chunky, well-draining soil mix. A succulent or cactus soil blended with extra perlite or pumice works perfectly to prevent the bulb from sitting in moisture.

    Tips:
    The Golden Rule: The fastest way to kill a Stephania Erecta is overwatering. When in doubt, leave it dry.

    To wake up a dormant bulb, place it in a warm, humid spot, and be patient, as it can take several weeks for the first vine to pop out.
