In this week’s episode, we discuss on potting mix, grow conditions and which is the right side for the Stephania. For this video, we’ll be using a Stephania Nova.
Informative! I have the erecta (3) and venosa (1)so far I have no problems with them . I accidentally tipped over one erecta that was putting out growth and thought I killed it . It didn't give me another growth but so far it's still alive.
Stephania erecta form quite extensive root systems. My opinion is that they should have been potted in pots at least 4 to 6 inches deep so that they would have room to form their root systems.
Hi, Thanks for sharing. I planted my stephania erecta on akadama soil. After one week, I decided to check on the caudex. When I removed the caudex, I found patches of mold on the soil surface where the caudex was buried. I have since removed the caudex and will be changing the the potting mix. Any advise if it is common or ok to have mold on the soil. Tks
@@TheRootCulturist Hi, Thanks for the reply. There is airflow indoor from the fan. The caudex is placed next to the window. The mold is only on the soil surface underneath where the caudex is buried. The akadama soil is moist but not soaked in water.
Hi, My stephania sprouted but the single stem is only with flowers and no leaves. What can be done to encourage the development of large leaves? Thanks
Hi, you could try the humidity bag method but patience is key in rooting them. Would recommend just waiting it out and letting them root when they are ready. Watering it as per normal, letting the media dry before the next watering.
This is SucH a good series man!!! Thanks for bringing your energy to youtube it's very appreciated
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.
Hi! Both my Stephen has are growing thin long stems. Very small leaves. They are in a south facing window. Great videos. Thanks in advance!

Glad you found it informative. Thanks for sharing. Yes, they are pretty hardy, just have to watch the watering.
Since it’s already cold in our place they are in the bathroom and they are loving the humidity there😊

Hi, mold could suggest your media was wet and the area dark. How’s the area like? Does the area have any air flow?
@@TheRootCulturist Hi, Thanks for the reply. There is airflow indoor from the fan. The caudex is placed next to the window. The mold is only on the soil surface underneath where the caudex is buried. The akadama soil is moist but not soaked in water.
Which is likely a conducive environment for the mold to grow. It’s not common to encounter mold with good airflow and light.

Hi, you’ll have to wait for it to finish flowering before it’ll produce leaves.
@@TheRootCulturist Thanks. I heard we can also trim off the stem and allow another to sprout.
Yea, you can trim the flower off. It should produce leaf on the next growth.
