Stephania Nova Care

Because they are able to store water for dry periods, you do not need to water them regularly. During the months of active growth, water sufficiently only when the soil is completely dry. Avoid watering when the plant is hibernating; foliage dies back, which is when you should begin watering it very minimally—perhaps only twice a month. Do not overwater, as the caudex will rot and your plant will die.

As found at limestone cliff, thus they can grow in strongly sunlight but too strong leaves can get damages and burnt. Receiving indirectly light and grow in very rich soil than another Stephania but still well drainage. Too strong sunlight can makes their leaves getting burnt but it will produce new leaves. If a bulb gets burnt, it could be dry and finally dead. Be careful!!

Generally just prepare well drainage soil or using cactus soil and add peat moss in ratio 1:2 is enough.

Growing where the climate is cool (25C) and having much humidity in the air.
