Cynanchum marnierianum 'Bundle of Sticks'

🌸 Currently in Bloom

Cynanchum marnierianum, known as Bundle of Sticks, is a fascinating succulent with thin, pencil like stems that tangle and cascade in every direction. Native to Madagascar, it creates a wild, sculptural look that feels both minimal and dramatic at the same time. When mature, it can produce small star shaped flowers that add a subtle but charming detail to its already unique form.

Light 🌞

Prefers bright indirect light to maintain healthy, compact growth. It can tolerate some gentle direct sun, especially in the morning.

Watering 💧

Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can quickly lead to rot.

Soil 🌱

Use a well draining cactus or succulent mix. Adding extra perlite or pumice helps keep roots healthy.

Fertilizing 🌿

Feed lightly during the growing season once a month with a balanced fertilizer. No feeding is needed in cooler months.

Repotting 🪴

Repot every couple of years or when the plant becomes root bound. Use a container with good drainage.
