Adenia hondala
caudiciform
Description
Adenia hondala is a rare tropical climbing plant in the passionflower family (Passifloraceae), native to South and Southeast Asia. It develops vigorous climbing shoots and a swollen, water-storing stem that gives it a distinctive appearance. This unusual species is particularly appealing to collectors of exotic plants and caudiciforms. Sow the seeds in a loose, well-drained growing medium and maintain a warm temperature of around 25–30 °C. Keep the medium slightly moist but avoid waterlogging.
