Stephania Erecta, also called Stephania pierrei, is a native of Thailand. The Stephania Erecta plant has a large potato-shaped woody bulb called a caudex that can grow to be seven inches wide.

Rare and Collectable

Stephania used to be a rare plant but it is gaining in popularity. It is still uncommon enough to be considered rare and collectable.

How to Plant Stephania Erecta

Most people receive a Stephania caudex (the potato part) with no roots or leaves. You will need to pot the caudex before it can grow.

Well Draining Soil Mix

Use a succulent potting mix for your Stephania. Water retaining soil will cause problems. Use a pot that has drainage holes, as the plant will get root rot if the roots stay wet.

Pointy Side Up

Place the caudex on the top of the potting mix. Make sure the node, or point, is on top. Fill in the potting mix between the caudex and the pot, being careful not to cover the top of the caudex.

How to Sprout Stephania Erecta

The caudex is sold when it is dormant. In order to get it to sprout, you must increase the humidity around the caudex.
