Question about item

Unlike the better known caudex plant species Stephania Erecta, Stephania Suberosa is less found on the market and therefore sought after among succulent collectors. Its large heart-shaped leaves glow a striking blue-green, making the plant a decorative eye-catcher. Like the Stephania Erecta, it goes through a dormant period in winter when it sheds its leaves and retreats into the bulb. In the wild, this is how it ensures its survival during periods of drought.

Ben's tips on plant care:

- For the bulb to sprout, it can be kept moderately moist in succulent soil, afterwards water more sparingly!
- Location / light requirements: bright, but avoid direct sunlight.
- Substrate: succulent substrate
- Temperature: optimal at 23-28° C, do not let cool down below 15° C
- Watering: water moderately with lukewarm, low-calcium water about 1-2 times a week during the growing season, in winter no more than once a month
- Humidity: moderately high humidity, avoid heating air, spray occasionally
- Nutrient addition: in the growth phase, fertilize weakly with diluted succulent fertilizer every 4-6 weeks.
- Repot when the soil is heavily rooted.
- Discards foliage in winter and must survive as a bulb. Then water sparingly every 4 weeks at most.
