The Stephania Kaweesakii, which was just discovered in 2020 and only recently identified as a unique species, enchants with its almost circular leaves, from whose deep green surface the delicate, cream-colored leaf veins stand out in rich contrast. Like other members of the Stephania genus, it survives the winter as a bulb, but then sprouts again in the spring with beautiful tendrils.

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.
