Stephania Cepharantha "Lucky Turtle" Bulb
Stephania Cepharantha “Lucky Turtle” Plant
Bring sculptural, exotic charm into your home with the Stephania cepharantha, a rare caudex plant prized for its bulb-like base and delicate climbing vines. Native to tropical Asia, this slow-growing beauty feels equal parts botanical specimen and living sculpture — a standout in any plant collection.
Its round caudex stores energy, sending out graceful vines with soft, heart-shaped leaves during the growing season. Easy to care for indoors and naturally minimalist, it makes a striking centerpiece on shelves, tables, or plant stands.
Why we love it:
-
Rare and highly collectible caudex plant
-
Sculptural form with a strong visual presence
-
Easygoing care once established
-
Dormant cycle adds a seasonal rhythm to growth
Care Tips:
-
Bright, indirect light
-
Well-draining soil
-
Water sparingly — only when soil is fully dry
-
Reduce watering during winter dormancy; resume when new growth appears
-
Keep in a warm environment
Good to know:
Stephania cepharantha goes dormant in winter. This is normal. Vines will return beautifully in spring.
A unique gift for plant lovers, collectors, and anyone drawn to quiet, living design.
