Stephania erecta is a unique caudex plant admired for its sculptural, bulb-like base and delicate, climbing vines. The woody, rounded caudex serves as a natural water reservoir, giving it a bonsai-like appearance, while its slender stems unfurl rounded, coin-shaped green leaves that add a soft contrast to the bold base. Native to Southeast Asia, this plant has become a collector’s favorite for its unusual form and architectural charm.
Thriving in bright, indirect light and well-draining soil, Stephania erecta prefers minimal watering during dormancy and regular, light moisture during its growing season. Its compact size and striking growth habit make it a living statement piece for shelves, windowsills, or plant displays.
Pet Safety: Toxic if ingested; keep away from pets and children.
