Stephania erecta thrives in bright, indirect light and well-draining soil, such as a mix of potting soil, sand, and perlite. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings, especially during dormancy when the caudex may shed its leaves. Keep humidity moderate and maintain temperatures between 65-85F. Avoid overwatering, as the bulb is prone to rot. During the growing season, feed with a diluted balanced fertilizer every few weeks. If it enters dormancy, reduce watering and wait for new growth before resuming regular care.
