Finding light for Stephania erecta in your home
a window
Stephania erecta may have difficulty thriving, and will drop leaves đ, without ample sunlight.
Place it less than 3 feet from a south-facing window to maximize the potential for growth.

How to fertilize Stephania erecta
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil itâs likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Stephania erecta after it doubles in size or once a yearâwhichever comes first.

Just got this plant #StephaniaErecta it was in transit from NYC to AZ for four days.. does it look okay? Iâve done the initial watering and Iâve left it alone next to a window. Do I need a humidifier near it?

Yellow dust on Stephania Erecta Could this be a fungal issue ? Iâve only been watering once a week. I live in a high humidity location and the best couple of weeks have been raining with little Sun. How can I save this? Your help is much appreciated!

Growing fast & tall I placed my Stephania Erecta bulb in water on 8/28, and the picture shows how itâs doing on 9/13. Itâs growing so fast and just straight up - is this normal?? The site I bought it from made it look shorter with leaves (thought I see online now that it can grow long).

Should I remove the old stems? #StephaniaErecta Our #StephaniaErecta lost its leaves last year and the stems dried out. Itâs now showing signs of new life with a tiny shoot đ±. We are now wondering if itâs a good time to remove the old stems??

A few leaves is starting to turn yellow. I donât know if it is because these are old leaves or what else? #StephaniaErecta

Every time I opened the window I had to put her somewhere else in case the wind blew too hard at her. So I gave her a plant support. I actually had another one in mind for her, but I still had this plant support lying around... and she actually deserves all the shinynessâš

My little friend arrived from Thailand so I still donât know much about this plant other than how long it takes to sprout & grow itâs round beautiful leaves. Iâve recently started to âwake itâ by putting it under a grow light & providing some heat. I read that this is an extremely SLOOOOW grower & does require a ton of patience.
