DESCRIPTION

A very popular, quirky looking plant from Thailand that's become a must have houseplant, Stephania Erecta combines a round bulbus caudex with delicate cascading stems and pretty round leaves.

Stephanias like to get plenty of bright indirect light but not direct sun, which can scorch the caudex. They also don't like to be too wet so watering should be done carefully, with care not to make the roots soggy.

When the stems are short and the leaves are big the plant is happy and getting enough light. If the contrary is the case then put the plant in a place that's getting more light.

If not overwatered, Stephania is relatively easy to care for and will be a plant you want to look at again and again.

Important to know: As plants are natural products, form, pattern and colour will vary.
