Stephania erecta - Bulb

Stephania erecta, or Stephania pierrei, is a variety native to Thailand. Its distinct caudex, or potato-like bulb, supports multiple tall, straight stalks known as the "erecta" part. The plant's unique arrangement of shield-shaped green leaves makes it a popular choice for indoor gardens.

The average height of a Stephania erecta plant is around three feet, although sizes may vary. This species is known for its slow growth rate, with some plants taking up to 20 years to reach full maturity.

Stephania Erecta - Bulb is a delightful and unique plant, with a caudex width of 6-7 inches and charming 2-inch diameter leaves. Perfect for adding a touch of tropical flair to any indoor or outdoor space.

Stephania erecta care starts from the ground up, as with any plant. Your choice of soil can greatly impact the plant's growth or lack thereof. The plant's caudex naturally maintains root moisture, so a water-retaining soil is not required.

Proper watering is essential for the well-being of Stephania erecta. Since the plant's caudex retains moisture, it is recommended to allow the soil to dry out almost completely before watering. During the plant's winter dormancy period, it requires minimal water, so it is best to refrain from watering more than once a month.
