Cyphostemma cirrhosum
caudiciform
Description
Cyphostemma cirrhosum is a deciduous succulent vine, notable for its tendrils that it uses to climb and its thick, succulent stems. The foliage consists of palmately compound leaves, adding to the plant's interesting texture. Its small, greenish-yellow flowers are typically inconspicuous, while its red or black berries that follow are not. Native to South Africa, it thrives in warm climates and well-drained soil. It needs very little watering, especially during the dormant season. When cultivating, provide a support structure for the vine to climb and provide bright, indirect light. Propagating this plant can be done through stem cuttings. This resilient plant is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, adding a touch of exotic charm to gardens and homes.
