Ibervillea tenuisecta (Slimlobe Globeberry) is a species of perennial herb in the family Cucurbitaceae. It is a climber. It is native to the contiguous United States and the Americas. Slimlobe Globeberry is a photoautotroph. Reproduction is dioecious.
It is very drought tolerant, water deeply but infrequently in summer. It doesn’t like a wet winter when the tuber is dormant (after shedding its leaves), but will survive. Over-watering is the most frequent cause of failure when growing Ibervillea, and should be kept on the dry side.
Remove the spent branches. Leaf tips have a tendency to dry and be brown in the house, so if possible place it outside in the summer.
When it drops its leaves protect from frost and stop watering. It is hardy to -7 degrees Celsius if kept dry. However warmth throughout the year will increase the grower’s success (at temperatures from 5 to 10 degrees centigrade during rest season).
Indoors they are often grown in shallow pots, with a tuft of wining stems emerging from a bulbous stem that seems to erupt from the soil.
