2021 Stephania Collection, they are seriously not potatoes 😂 stephania erecta, stephania nova

Hello plant friends, welcome back go our channel, this is a little sharing on our Stephania Collection and some sharing on how to differentiate them.
For some of you that are new here, we are a husband and wife duo based in sunny Malaysia.
While Vince is really into Aroids, Daphnee is more drawn to these cutesy potatoes 😂
Most of our caudexes are kept indoors, either beside the window sill or under our growlights
Hope you will enjoy this video !

New subscriber 🙋🌿💙. Wow variegated 😱

[@CoFFee123..]

I have a suberosa that grow extremely fast because I gave it a lot of sunlight. It’s placed in my bedroom with an east facing window. The leaves are as big as my palm and it seems to show growth everyday. I gave it 2 long garden sticks ( 3 feet long) as support but it continue to grow. Finally I cut off all the leaves leaving being short stems. But after a few days, it’s growing again . Too fast for me to handle. I grow it only in 100% pumice and no fertilizer added. I bought it from Shopee Malaysia and growth started almost immediately. It was supposed to be an erecta and I was really disappointed. The seller said that the stephania was from China. I only knew it’s correct name through this video. Thanks. I bought another 2 stephania that turned out not to be erecta. Also from China. And super fast growth and also in 100% pumice with several pieces of pafcal chips. I am stilling trying to find out their actual names.

[@Monsterasaur]

Yes suberosa are super fast growers, your other 2 if it is also China could be Venosa whereas Thailand have more Erecta and Kaweesakii. China usually have a lot of suberosa and venosa. If they gives out red sap most probably it is a venosa.

[@jaimemenapadilla]

great video with great info!

[@marygorchidsmore2058]

Your collection is beautiful. Love that variegated one too. I'm Your new subscriber! How do you get the bulb to sprout?

[@Monsterasaur]

Just keep them at a humid and warm area, no direct sun though because they can get sun burns 😊

[@nnnnrzl]

Love your video!

[@Monsterasaur]

Thank you!!

[@DIEGOGONZALEZ-np9ed]

Hi i just bought a turtle shell plant. Its about a 2.5 in diameter. i would like to repot into a shallow 3 inch Bonsai pot. will it do well in this kind of pot?? THNX

[@mtiongson3487]

Gorgeous!! What type of soil do you grow them in?

[@Monsterasaur]

Generally a mix of pumice/perlite/bark + cocopeat topped with some slow release fertiliser I don't really have a fixed ratio but generally 40% cocopeat + anything else that is chunky will do ☺️

[@maevandorpe6617]

Very interesting

[@kktan7206]

Hi, Thanks for sharing your nice collection of Stephania. I have one Stephania Cepharantha. The leaves were looking good when I acquire it. I placed it near the SW window where there is strong afternoon sun. The stems started to grow very long and leggy with very tiny leaves. The initial large leaves were always curled up. What could be the cause? Thanks

[@Monsterasaur]

If the watering schedule is okay, you could also check for pests, when the leaves starts to look unhealthy usually it is attacked by pests. They are spider mites magnet 🥲 just trim them, do a repot with clean porous media and put somewhere with bright indirect sunlight

[@francy8119]

Buongiorno bellissime piante complimenti! Potete dirmi dove e come posso acquistare grazie risposta gentilmente in italiano 💪

[@nancyvisa7802]

Son hermosas 🪴💪💚.

[@Roneykannan]

I have to collect now. I really don’t know their names

[@Mrslaw41]

Hi, there are some black spots on some of the leaves of my Stephanie erecta...wondering whether I should cut off the leaves

[@Monsterasaur]

Yes you should! I never have them on mine but I seen some Thai people sharing about it, it's some pests so just snip them off and throw the leaf away

[@wengkongkam7488]

Great content Daphnee, could you let me know which nursery you got your Stephania Kaweesakii?

[@Monsterasaur]

hi, you could just search for it in shopee/ lazada, i did not see any kaweesakii in nurseries yet :)

[@catherinemichael2851]

What did you use to treat spider mites ?

[@Issi1703]

WOWWWW

[@user-rz3px6nj7n]

Hi! I’ve a stephania erecta but it’s leggy. Means insufficient light I google. Can I ask if I can place it under direct sunlight?

[@Monsterasaur]

Not advisable if you are in hot country because they can get sunburns too, anywhere bright will do or with morning sun 😊

[@keith3669]

Hihi would like some consultation on the problems that I encountered on my suberosa. I’ve observed some brownish spots on the leaves’ edge & yellowish around the circumference of the leaves. What could be possibly gone wrong? Is it over or under watering?

[@Monsterasaur]

hi, i cannot really tell from the way you just described, yellowing could be caused by underwater/ overwater/ heat/ pests, if the caudex is still firm then should be fine. just snip of the affected leaves will do. for extra precaution you could also repot it with brand new fresh media because sometimes the eggs of the pests might be hiding in the media. good luck!

[@rachelyoon1163]

How did you get the variegated stephania it's so beautiful! ❤️❤️

[@Monsterasaur]

You may look for sellers around your area, rarely comes by, so if you saw it snatch it quickly!

[@rachelyoon1163]

@@Monsterasaur where did you get yours? Shopee, Lazada, Facebook etc? 😊

[@myterracegardening]

Stephania Rotunda & erecta are the same?

[@easylifewithsyed9439]

Just love 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚.

[@Issi1703]

Where do you come from and where did you get all those beautiful stephanias?

[@Monsterasaur]

Hi we are from Malaysia, we can get Stephania from the local nurseries here ☺️

[@easylifewithsyed9439]

What’s the best way to style those long veiny one?

[@Monsterasaur]

You could style them using some wires, shape it into a big circle ⭕️ or any shape you like then gently guide the veins around it 💚

[@easylifewithsyed9439]

Monsterasaur U an angel!!! Will do it now! Tq so much💚💚

[@mtiongson3487]

What size pot is good to use for these beauties?

[@Monsterasaur]

Give a gap of 1-2cm extra from the diameter of the caudex will do. You can go wider horizontally if you like as long as it's not too deep. Or use a pot is +-30% slightly larger from the caudex is good enough. I usually avoid pots that are too large to reduce water retention to avoid rots

[@jimmygoh7186]

Where can I buy all these plants.

[@Monsterasaur]

if you are in Malaysia you can find from shopee, lazada, facebook groups, instagram etc

[@Enjoyplant]

How many types of stephania sis ?

[@Monsterasaur]

Official stephania types i am not sure but in our Collection here we have 6 types here :)

[@mwegan6369]

To the viewers be careful purchasing these if you are foreign to the native land in which it grows. Most of them are illegally poached. Search "poached Stephania Erecta" for more information on how you can get one of these plants ethically.

[@cat-ym7iz]

Can u give me 1stephania giveaway 😪🙋

[@mtiongson3487]

Gorgeous!! What type of soil do you grow them in?

[@Monsterasaur]

Anything porous will do, i use a mix of cocopeat and pumice + perlite/orchid bark :)
