Description
Kedrostis gijef is a species of succulent vine native to Africa, characterized by its distinctive swollen underground tubers. The plant sends out climbing or trailing stems with small, often lobed leaves. These leaves are usually bright green. The flowers are small and typically greenish or yellowish, and can appear attractive when in bloom. The swollen tubers store water. The plant is well-adapted to arid conditions. Kedrostis gijef is relatively easy to cultivate, and is a unique addition. The tubers must be protected from frost. When cultivating, plant in very well-draining soil and provide ample sunlight, as well as infrequent watering to avoid rot.
