Back to buying optionsStephania cepharantha Live Caudex, Bare Root Lucky Turtle Plant, Collector Caudiciform Bulb Style Plant
Add a fascinating caudex plant to your collection with this live Sinningia leucotricha, commonly known as Queen of the Cliff. This distinctive species develops a rounded, flattened tuberous caudex topped with stems and soft, silvery-green foliage covered in fine white hairs, giving the plant its highly recognizable appearance.
You will receive a live bare-root tuber without a pot or soil. Depending on its natural growth cycle, the plant may arrive dormant and without leaves. With appropriate warmth, light, soil, and seasonal care, new foliage will emerge from the tuber as active growth begins. Mature plants can also produce attractive tubular flowers during their growing season.
You will receive:
✔️ 1 live Sinningia leucotricha tuber
✔️ Shipped bare root
✔️ No nursery pot or soil included
✔️ May arrive dormant without leaves
✔️ Distinctive tuberous caudex
✔️ Soft, fuzzy foliage develops during active growth
✔️ Unique collector plant
✔️ Secure packaging for safe arrival
🌼 Growing Information
Common Name: Queen of the Cliff
Botanical Name: Sinningia leucotricha
Plant Type: Tuberous / caudiciform perennial
Growth Stage: Live bare-root tuber
Sun Requirements: Bright, filtered or indirect light; protect from harsh direct sunlight
Soil: Loose, porous, fast-draining potting mix
Watering: Moderate during active growth; significantly reduce watering during dormancy
Mature Height: Approximately 8–12 inches above the tuber depending on growing conditions
Growth Rate: Moderate during active growth
USDA Zones: Best grown as a protected container plant outside warm climates
Container Friendly: Yes
💡 Care Tip: Plant the bare-root tuber in a small container with a loose, fast-draining growing mix, keeping the upper portion of the caudex exposed rather than burying it deeply. Water carefully once active growth begins and avoid keeping the tuber constantly wet. As the plant enters dormancy and its foliage naturally yellows and dies back, reduce watering substantially and allow it to rest until new growth returns.
