Rare Climbing Onion Plant Bowiea volubilis in 3in Pot – Exotic Succulent

*Product Description: Bowiea volubilis, commonly known as **Climbing Onion**, is a fascinating and unique succulent that’s perfect for collectors or anyone seeking a low-maintenance houseplant. This bulbous plant features a large, onion-like base (which stores water) and slender, vining stems that climb and twist with a delicate, lace-like appearance. Its bright green foliage gives it an ethereal charm, making it a striking addition to any plant collection. Native to South Africa, Bowiea volubilis thrives in arid conditions, making it an excellent choice for those who prefer minimal watering. Its unusual growth habit and resilience make it a conversation starter and an ideal pick for indoor or outdoor cultivation. Ideal for:** Succulent enthusiasts, collectors of unusual plants, or anyone looking to add a touch of whimsy to their plant collection. ——————————————————————————————————————– *Care Instructions: Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Can tolerate some direct sunlight, but avoid harsh afternoon rays, which may scorch the plant. Watering: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Reduce watering significantly during the plant’s dormant phase (typically in winter). Soil: Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix. Adding perlite or coarse sand to the soil mix improves drainage. Temperature & Humidity: Thrives in temperatures between 60–85°F (15–29°C). Keep away from frost and protect it during colder months. Growth & Dormancy: During its active growing season (spring and summer), the vine-like stems grow rapidly and may need support to climb. In the dormant phase (fall and winter), the stems may die back—this is normal. The bulb stores energy for the next growing season. Fertilizer: Feed with a diluted cactus or succulent fertilizer once a month during the growing season. Potting: Use a pot with good drainage to prevent root rot. ——————————————————————————————————————– *Shipping and Dormancy Note: To ensure your Bowiea volubilis arrives safely, we package it carefully to protect the delicate bulb during transit. Please note that your plant may arrive in its dormant phase (especially during colder months), meaning the vining stems may be absent or have died back. This is completely normal! The bulb is still healthy and will produce new growth during the next growing season when properly cared for.
