Bring a touch of botanical elegance into your home or workspace with the stunning Stephania erecta. This rare and eye-catching plant features a unique caudex—a bulb-like base that stores water—topped with delicate, rounded leaves etched with beautiful silver-white veins. Its sculptural appearance makes it both a conversation starter and a living piece of art, perfect for plant lovers and design enthusiasts alike.

This Stephania erecta comes potted in a hand-glazed ceramic pot in a warm, neutral sandstone tone, accompanied by a natural seagrass mat for added texture and charm. The design complements a wide range of interiors, from Scandinavian minimalism to boho-modern aesthetics. Whether placed on a side table, shelf, or workspace, it brings a quiet sophistication and organic beauty to any space.

Stephania Erecta Care Tips:

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. A few hours of morning sun are fine, but protect it from the harsh afternoon rays.
Water: Allow the top 2–3cm of soil to dry before watering. The caudex helps prevent dehydration, but overwatering can cause rot. During dormancy, water only every 3–4 weeks.
Humidity: Thrives in high humidity—perfect for Singapore’s tropical climate.
Soil: Use a well-draining mix, such as cactus soil with added pumice or perlite.
Potting: Use a pot with good drainage, and keep the bulb exposed above the soil.
Dormancy: Leaf drop is normal. Reduce watering and keep it warm with indirect light.
Fertilizer: Feed monthly during active growth with a balanced liquid fertilizer.
Pet Friendly: Generally considered non-toxic, but best kept away from pets that like to chew plants.

Size:

Pot diameter: 12.5cm
