Stephanias need very well-drained soil, full sun, and airy, not excessively humid conditions. From the time new growth begins in spring until stems and foliage die down in fall, they need moderate watering, enough to keep the soil evenly moist, but not saturated.
Herein, does Stephania erecta dormant?
I noticed that Stephania erecta can exhibit pseudo-dormancy when neglected for a time. It will drop its leaves and lose its roots. Going back to normal watering and feeding regimen can make the plant bounce back. Most of the time, they come back from dormancy with blooms of tiny male or female yellow flowers.
