Common name: Stephania Erecta
Botanical name: Stephania erecta
Stephania erecta is a unique caudiciform plant grown for its large exposed caudex and delicate vine covered in round, lily pad-like leaves. Native to Thailand, it undergoes periods of dormancy and active growth, making it an intriguing plant for collectors.
Light: Bright indirect light. A few hours of gentle morning sun is beneficial.
Water: Water when the soil is mostly dry during active growth. When dormant and leafless, water very sparingly to prevent rot.
Humidity: Average household humidity is usually sufficient, though it appreciates moderate humidity.
Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures and should be protected from cold drafts and frost.
Soil: Fast-draining mix with excellent drainage. Many growers use a cactus mix amended with pumice or perlite.
Dormancy: It is normal for the vine and leaves to die back seasonally. The caudex remains alive and will produce new growth when conditions are favorable.
Pet safety: Not considered pet safe. Keep away from pets and children.
Fun fact: The exposed caudex is actually an underground storage organ in nature. Growers display it above the soil because of its unusual appearance, making each plant look like a living sculpture.

What a great little fern find! Am so happy to have 1 and find it adjusting just great in my All Season Room. So unique and dense in foliage. Not your typical "fern"
I absolutely love getting a new plant each month! Always a lovely choice, and I usually get something I’d likely not choose on my own. Mt growing collection makes me so happy.
Love this place! Everyone is super helpful and knowledgeable and they always have so many fun new items every time I am in! They have a big selection of healthy plants both common and rare and everything you could need to care for them.
Great store! Beautiful plants, very knowledgeable, good prices, fun classes, and lots of unique gifts.
Beautiful and healthy! Makes a great statement in any area.
Retailer went out of her way to assist when we were out of town. We wanted a special gift delivered.
My plants look amazing in my new glass pot with these balls- and so far seem to be thriving. Grateful for all the advice as I tried this new thing!
This was my 1st order of many more to come! Seller has phenomenal customer service and truly cares about her clients. My order arrived healthy, vibrant and best of all pest free! I will definitely be a repeat customer!
So perfect for a stocking stuffer!!!!
This was my first time to blossom and branch. I love that all the collector plants are mostly in one spot. It was so hard to chose who needed to come home with me. Beautiful shop, and beautiful plants!
Love having this plant as part of my collection. It came super healthy and well rooted and is now thriving in its new planter!
Such a beautiful and healthy plant! Love it
