Cyphostemma juttae seeds for sale
Discover the extraordinary Cyphostemma juttae seeds for sale , a magnificent caudiciform succulent native to the arid rocky slopes of Namibia and South Africa. Known as the “Namibian Tree Grape,” this species develops a massive, bottle-shaped caudex that can reach up to 1 meter in diameter, serving as a natural water reservoir during droughts. The caudex features striking papery bark that peels in golden-yellow flakes, revealing a smooth green layer beneath. During the growing season, the plant produces blue-green, wavy-edged leaves that create a beautiful contrast against its pale trunk. Small greenish flowers may appear, followed by decorative (but toxic) red berries.
Ideal for succulent collectors and bonsai enthusiasts, Cyphostemma juttae thrives in well-draining mineral soil and prefers full sun to light shade. Water moderately during the growing season (spring to autumn), allowing the soil to dry completely between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter when the plant enters dormancy. This slow-growing species is frost-tender (USDA zones 9b-11) and requires protection from temperatures below 10°C (50°F).
Fresh seeds germinate best at temperatures of 25°C-30°C (77°F-86°F) when sown in a well-draining sandy medium. Germination typically occurs within 2-4 weeks with proper care.
⚠️ Warning: All parts of the plant are toxic if ingested. Keep away from children and pets.
Each order includes a comprehensive germination guide. Due to habitat threats in its native range, cultivating Cyphostemma juttae from seeds supports conservation efforts.
