I thought my Stephania Erecta was my first caudex before finding out my ponytail palm is also a caudex. Stephania is a bit more manageable and developing into a beauty! I can’t help checking for new leaves each day! 😍🌱🌴 Stephania was slow to start her growth spurt. She is faster growing than the other caudex ‘potatoes’ I bought who have yet to produce leaves after weeks half emerged in a damp cactus mix. Next step is to add a heating pad.
