Cyphostemma juttae
Wild grape
Description
Cyphostemma juttae is a succulent caudiciform plant native to Namibia and South Africa. It is characterized by its large, swollen, underground caudex, which serves as a water storage organ, allowing it to survive in arid environments. The caudex may be partially exposed, giving the plant a unique and sculptural appearance. From the caudex emerge long, trailing stems with attractive, deeply lobed leaves. It produces small, greenish flowers followed by colorful berries, often attracting birds. Cyphostemma juttae is a slow-growing plant that requires well-draining soil and minimal watering, especially during dormancy. This plant is a popular choice for succulent collectors and is often grown in pots as a decorative specimen. It does best in direct sunlight, and it does not like being overwatered. Be careful with the watering, because rot is easy to trigger.
