#caudex plants

New plant and new pot! This is Phyllobolus resurgens. I’m a sucker for caudiciforms.

Dioscorea elephantipes

I let her out of the cage because she dropped the leaves 😁

I cannot believe how much this plant has grown since I bought her when she was the size of a pingpong ball.

Stephania Erecta pressed leaves

[sabakuplants]

Tylecodon reticulatus - shrub-like caudiciform succulent from South Africa and Namibia. Very poisonous.

Remember climbing onion?

Arguably my weirdest plant (and therefore one of the favs). I got this guy back in May at the Denver Botanic Gardens plant sale and got to enjoy this baby in it’s full glory for about 2 weeks before the trail dried up and it’s been dormant ever since.

UNTIL NOW

I cannot accurately express how excited/relieved I am to see this little sprout, because that means I not only kept it alive, but somehow managed to give it the right conditions to keep growing 💪🏻

Wish me and my new little pride and joy luck and expect many updates on this baby in the coming weeks 🌿

Stephania cepharantha

[poop-me-a-flower]

My dumpling/potato/golf ball (Stephania erecta) is finally waking back up! If I’m lucky it’ll flower and I’ll know the sex - this species is dioecious.

Stephania species are cool plants but a lot of them are poached from the wild to keep up with demand. If you’re interested in getting one I strongly recommend researching for an ethical source first. I got this from a local vendor before I learned about the poaching issue with these - now that I know, I’ve been very careful about purchasing species plants.

It’s been a while since I posted one of the plants I actually own. Have a sunny Dioscorea elephantipes!
