Adenia (Adenia venenata)

Here’s one of the easiest caudiciform plants you can grow that in short order becomes magnificent! Adenia has deeply lobed leaves and long, woody vines. Fragrant white flowers appear in spring and continue through fall. Just before winter, cut the vines back to about 12” in length since Adenia loses all its leaves in winter. Water sparingly during the winter rest period. In spring, the vines and leaves start growing again and the caudex almost doubles in size each year. This is a trouble-free plant that makes a good addition to your rare plant or succulent collection.
