Schizopepon (Schizopepon)

Schizopepon

Schizopepon comprises a group of climbing or trailing vines distinguished by their fleshy, often intricately lobed leaves and small, yellowish-green flowers. Adapted to subtropical forests, they use their tendrils to ascend trees, effectively capturing sunlight while their roots remain shaded. This adaptive strategy allows them to thrive in competitive, low-light understorey environments.

Propagation: Propagation methods for schizopepon include seed sowing and cuttings. Success requires bright, indirect light, temperatures of 15-25°C, and well-draining, organic soil. Maintain high humidity and handle carefully. Cuttings should be 4-6 inches, treated with rooting hormone, and kept moist until established.
