C - Cyphostemma juttae

An archetypical pachycaul from the Grape Family, this classically fat nubile Namibian will peel off its bark for you at regular intervals. Huge summer leaves, ghostly torso in winter. Withhold water when leafless. Indoors only.

Indoors OK, but not for beginners. Outdoors not OK.

Soft and cuddly if ever was a pachycaul.
