It is a caudex plant – at its base is a large, woody, potato- or stone-like tuber (caudex) where the plant stores water and nutrients. From this rough tuber extend delicate, graceful vines with perfectly round, umbrella-like leaves, creating a stunning contrast. It is a unique, exotic, and architectural \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"508\"\u003ehouseplant\u003c\/b\u003e that will add a sophisticated and unusual accent to any \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"531\"\u003einterior\u003c\/b\u003e.

In winter (or stressful situations), the plant will completely shed all its beautiful leaves and vines, leaving only the bare tuber in the pot – this is completely normal and the plant is not dead! During this dormancy period, watering should be almost completely stopped. In spring, with warmth and light, the tuber will wake up again and sprout new green shoots.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"augi-plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54044401402185,"sku":null,"price":47.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/0252\/1918\/files\/F15B4D3D-F64F-44EC-97B1-45EA8E174990.jpg?v=1773821136","url":"https:\/\/www.augi-plants.fi\/en\/products\/stephania-pierrei-erecta","provider":"www.augi-plants.lv","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
