Arcangelisia is a climbing plant with striking yellow stems, notable for its vivid coloration derived from berberine. This component not only adds to its unique hue but also possibly plays a role in deterring herbivores. The plant thrives in the dense, humid environments of tropical forests, where its tendrils can effectively grasp and ascend the surrounding vegetation, optimizing light exposure.
Propagation:
Arcangelisia propagates mainly through seeds and stem cuttings. Successful propagation requires warm temperatures, high humidity, and well-draining soil. Techniques like scarification may enhance seed germination. Follow specific steps for cuttings to ensure root development prior to transplanting.
