Cyphostemma simulans
caudiciform
Description
Cyphostemma simulans is a succulent plant native to Southern Africa. This is a plant that attracts attention with its interesting caudex (swollen base) and its often-wrinkled stems. The leaves are typically palmate, meaning they are divided into several leaflets. It is most attractive when in leaf during the warmer seasons. The flowers are small and inconspicuous, usually greenish or yellowish. The plant requires well-draining soil and prefers full sun to partial shade conditions. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry completely between waterings. It's relatively easy to propagate from seeds or stem cuttings, and you can create attractive bonsai plants. The caudex can be buried or left exposed for aesthetic purposes.
