Adenia perrieri is a remarkable caudiciform plant, prized by collectors for its dramatic swollen caudex from which slender climbing stems and lobed leaves emerge each season. Sculptural, rare, and full of presence, it sits somewhere between succulent curiosity and living sculpture, making it a true centrepiece for a caudex collection. Give it bright light and let the caudex dry fully between waterings, and it will reward you with fresh seasonal growth.

Origins
Native to the seasonally dry forests of Madagascar, Adenia perrieri stores water in its caudex to survive long arid spells. At home it wants bright light, warmth, and a careful watering hand, easing right off as it goes dormant.

Soil and Substrate
Our Dessert Potting Mix drains fast to protect the caudex from rot, making it the perfect base for this Stephania.
