Stephania is known for its unique caudex and ornate foliage, requiring moderate to bright indirect light to thrive. Watering should be consistent, allowing soil to dry slightly between waterings, and stephania prefers a warm environment with temperatures above 50°F. A well-draining, airy soil mix supports root health. Common challenges include overwatering, leading to rot, and susceptibility to pests like spider mites. Seasonally, stephania may require less water in winter and can benefit from higher humidity in summer. Careful monitoring is key as outdoor temperatures rise or drop.
