This Cyphostemma is much more tolerant of overwatering (both during summer and winter) than others, and is considered one of the easiest in the genus to grow - especially pushing into Central and Northern California where extended winter rains melt many in the genus. This caudiciform is from arid areas of Africa and as such likes to go totally bone dry between waterings, making it very low-maintenance. To get good healthy growth your plant does not want to sit around totally dried out during its growing season. Once it is dry, water it. This plant comes from an area with summer rainfall and is actively growing during that time, when it is forgiving of overwatering errors. During winter dormancy it should be kept extra dry and will be intolerant of overwatering. Remember that if kept in a small pot your plant will want more frequent watering. | |

Notas de cultivo
Elevate roots for effect when repotting, if desired. Prune back to keep a squatter form. Cuttings can be rooted during the growing season. Use a rooting hormone and plant directly into pure pumice. Keep warm.
