How to look after Stephania

The plant goes into dormancy once a year around winter time (but may not go into dormancy at all or may happen at a different time of the year), when leaves start turning yellow you can decrease watering. When the plant has no leaves left move it into a darker and colder spot.

After the dormancy ”wakes up” the plant by soaking the caudex in lukewarm water for 24-48h, then move back into the soil. Keep in a warm and humid envouiment. You can even place the plant in a large zip bag to increase humidity. open every day for a 1-2 minute to allow access of fresh air.

Light

Caudex like this plant can get sunburnt, so please keep it somewhere sunny but never in direct full sunlight.

Water

It is easy to overwater this plant, so let the soil almost completely dry out before watering. In Winter the plant will enter dormancy so resist watering it more than once a month!

Humidity

Give the plant an occasional mist and try to keep humidity over 60%.

The plant is toxic to pets.

How do I ‘wake up’ my Stephania Erecta from dormancy?: Soak the caudex in lukewarm water for 24-48 hours, then replant it in moist soil. Ensure the environment is warm and humid, perhaps by placing the plant in a large zip bag with daily air refreshment for 1-2 minutes.
What are the best light conditions for this plant?: Place your Stephania Erecta in a location that receives plenty of light but is protected from direct sunlight to prevent sunburn. A spot with filtered light or partial shade is ideal.
How often should I water my Stephania Erecta?: Allow the soil to dry out almost completely before watering again. During its dormant period in winter, reduce watering to once a month or less to avoid overwatering.

☀️ Light

☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
Your Stephania Erecta enjoys a sunny spot but is not a fan of direct, harsh sunlight, which can cause sunburn to the caudex. A place with filtered light or a sheer curtain-filtered window would be ideal.

? Water

?▫️▫️ (Low)
Stephania Erecta doesn’t like to be overwatered. Allow the soil to nearly dry out between waterings. During its dormancy in winter, watering should be minimal, no more than once a month.

?️ Temperature

?️?️▫️ (Average)
This plant thrives in a typical home temperature setting. Just ensure to keep it away from drafty windows or direct heat sources to prevent sudden temperature changes.

? Humidity

??▫️ (Moderate)
Stephania Erecta enjoys higher humidity levels. Occasional misting and a pebble tray or a humidifier nearby will help maintain the environment it loves.

? Repotting

Repotting is rarely needed. When you do repot, choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage and use a well-draining soil mix to prevent standing water and root rot.

? Pet Friendliness

Be cautious as Stephania Erecta is toxic to pets. It’s best to place it in an area out of reach from your furry friends.

? Recommended Locations at Home

Perfect spots for your Stephania Erecta include well-lit bathrooms, kitchens away from cooking appliances, or living rooms with sheer curtains. Avoid placing it near heaters or heavily air-conditioned spaces.

? Air Purifying

This plant is not specifically known for air purifying properties, but it does contribute to a healthier indoor environment by adding greenery and tranquility.

I did not expect the items in my order to be so stunning and utterly joyous! The moss just sprang into verdant glory as soon as I unshackled it from its wax paper and unleashed it in its prepared spot in the miniature Lord of the Rings mood garden 🤪 As I said to the postie, forget snow to eskimos, we are shipping moss to Argyll! Lovely wee selection. The moss pole with cup is brilliantly designed and will make my monstera much happier in a room heated with a log burner and near a radiator. She is already very tolerant and happy but this will hopefully set her up for winter. A daily drench of warmed rainwater on that pole will recreate Amazonia for a plant that in my experience loves heat as long as humidity is good and I’m confident she will take over the world. Please never stop doing extensions!

The moss arrived on the day promised. It was extremely well packaged. We laid it in the hedgehog Safe Garden until Orna’s leg is strong enough for her to be released. She likes it so much she is digging bits up and making a nice soft bed. Thank you to the Highland Moss team for all their advice in the choice of moss.
