Guide
The species-level account. Cultivar pages build on this and say where they differ.
Stephania erecta grows from a round, water-storing caudex, a tuber that carries the plant through dry spells and rots quickly if kept wet. Water sparingly only once the soil has dried out completely, letting the gritty, fast-draining mix approach bone-dry between drinks, and ease off further during dormancy when the vine dies back. Give it a bright spot out of direct midday sun.
