I’ve been looking for proper care on this plant for years. It’s a previous rare gift from my girlfriend in NC. It grows wild in her yard and I never knew how rare it was till I told her. Thank you Summer 💚

wonderful plant, wonderful video. Let me share some of my experience with this plant, It seems like when they are in the growing stage, which turns out (for me) to be in the winter, they like water a lot. On my east-south facing window where they receive direct sunlight for at least a couple of hour, they seem to grow quite well and like lots of water... actually I water them more than once a week (but very little at a time) in a kind of clay-loam soil + undecomposed organic matter + sandtype of soil in a smaller terracotta pot and they seem to love it. also, I left two unwatered for about 10 days and the other watered, and the ones that I didn't water turned out to have a bit soft bulbs, where as the watered one had the bulb firm.

I just happened upon one of these at my local nursery & had to have it! Anything weird or funky is right up my alley. Thank you for sharing this info🙏🏻 Great video!

Same same I do too🤣👍I saw my first in about a month ago & the lady wouldn’t sell it😢The price she mentioned that a lady was come to get it anyway was out the roof😃

wow, I have never seen this plant before, would love to see this in person, thanks for the video Summer.

What a funky and amazing plant, I love the uniqueness of it, if I get the chance I will have to pick it up, thanks again Summer, such a fun series.

It’s crazy! I feel like every time I see a plant in a nursery and am interested but don’t know anything about it, that same day you seem to release a video on it! It’s now happened two day in a row but the past two days have not been the first time! Thank you!

Whoa what a plant! I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before! Pretty cool 😎

What a cool plant! Looks like a green cloud or something

That's pretty cool! I really am so amazed by all the interesting plants you have! This series is so special and I cannot believe it's #102 already!

I would name it "Tina Turner" because that plant has a going onxD amazing plant hair💚❤💙

Amazing series, keep up the great work!

Thanks for the information. I was about to throw my plant and now I will make it grow.

That is unique!😊I've never heard of this🌿

That is one cool looking plant! One of my wishlist plants is Stephania Erecta and seeing this beauty right here, I definitely gonna put this on my wishlist as well! Love it. Thanks for this video!!!

Never heard of this plant in my life and I want it so bad. It looks like a soft green cloud.

Heyo. This is my favorite plant I own. So unique. My advice it to not accidentally cut or break the vine. Otherwise it wont continue to grow that rotation. It will have to go through its dormancy phase again before it shoots out another vine. You can also peel away the dead layers to expose its pretty, green base.

Thanks for sharing this info. I just got one yesterday.

Love those plants, I grow the two different types, Bowiea Volubilis which is the summer growing variety and Bowiea Garienpensis which is the winter growing plant. It has a larger bulb, chunkier growing vine and larger flowers. I harvest the seeds and grow up new plants from them however it takes several years to obtain sizeable bulbs. Great plants and I have lots of them around my garden and in among the pot plants.

I think often of a tour you did with the bulb plant with the tiny holes and interior design set up for ants to live in. I think that's the coolest thing ever :) I know this plant doesn't work that way but whenever I see a plant with the bulb-like base it reminds me of it.

I received one from a customer while working at a coffee shop. It has been growing for two years and has never gone dormant. I live in New Hampshire. I wish it would flower though.

Great plant!

Again new plant for me Summer. I don't know whether it is available here , try and go forward to introduce us the amazing wonderful world of plants, it is the life ........Thanku dear Lady.....

Ok... I just bought one... *rolling eyes*....😁😎. That one is too cool to pass up.

I bought a two-pack of these on Amazon maybe two years ago now, they're so cool! They arrived the size of a small marble and now they're both about billiard ball size. I'm also hesitant to call this a climbing plant; mine kind of just creep/tangle onto nearby plants but the tendrils don't seem to want to grab onto anything. I'm thinking about making a sort of wire bowl that can sit above the bulb to hold the pile. Mine have also both formed cracks on their outer layers as if they're trying to molt.

I was gifted one of these 😊

Oh my!! Is this good for hanging basket too? This looks so good!

I’ve had mine for years !!!

look at that pot.. 😍

Reminds me of Stephania erecta, I’m surprised they aren’t in the same family. Cool little thing, I’m gonna have to try and get my own.

I have one in the South window in my kitchen greenhouse window and it is bright green and has babies grow on on it and I'm looking how do I separate those from the mother and get those growing on their own I appreciate your video I'm glad I finally found somebody that add 1 and what it's called I ask for African onions and it shows me how to grow onions that that is not what I'm looking for!

Always wanted one up until the day I was at my friend's house her cat got tangled up in her's! A sound I'll never forget as a cat owner 🙀

Weird looking plant 😍 looks like an onion and a green wig on sticks 🤣 but I love unusual looking plants. Beautiful pot too!

Wow!!!!!😲😍

I have a blooming onion! It goes dormant every year

Great! Now I have another plant on the need list! Thanks a lot. Lmao!!! Awesome job as always! Tell me how I get a plant or cutting from you! Swap perhaps???

I was just given this as a "bulb" ,unpotted. Hope I get it settled right!

I have 2 of theses plants 1 is doing great the other is doing absolutely nothing what could be wrong with it

i just got a small one 🥰

Mine have tiny yellow flowers every late summer, so you grow them year round

We in south Africa have the pregnant onion

Just got mine online but the bulb is a bit soft and wrinkly two days after potting. Never watered it since potting though and I used mixture of pumice mostly, perlite, vermiculite and rough sands plus a bit of organic compos. Is it adapting process only or is it in trouble? It came with full lush vines and till now hasn’t dried yet. Pls advise

In my plants trellis is dried .Is my plant in problem or part of growth circle?I am from India Temp now 37C

Can you start a plant from the stems?

I have one and the bulb stays small should I grow it year round , do you? I have had it for years. Help!

They are common in Calif. my understanding is that there are two types. A small bulb and a large one. Mine is small. Flowers are small white I think. Can’t remember since it was over a year since it bloomed

This reminds me of stephania erecta which is sad because mine just got stolen.

someone stole your plant?! that's terrible. my heart goes out to you. you know, what comes around goes around, and here espescially I say that you reap what you sow!- in that that is a saying refering to planting/plants! so whoever took your plant is going to pay for it in one way or another. I hope you have found a good plant to replace your stolen one.

I would like to get a big one

isn't this day 92?

Onions are bulbs, not tubers. That plant has a bulbous base.

It's not actually an onion. It gets it's common name from it's tuber or trunk that looks like an onion.

I killed mine 😔😢

Look so fragile.

keep it out of reach of children though, it contains bufadienolides that are harmful.
