My Stephania Erecta plants (I have 2) have grown like crazy over the last few months, but neither of them have any leaves larger than a pencil eraser. The leaf pictured is on my bigger plant, and it is the largest leaf to date (which obviously isn't saying much). But the rest of the leaves, including the tiny flowers, never grow past a sprouting phase, then they dry up and fall off. I did get some hanging trellises that I'm going to attach them to, but I'm thinking my problem is not near enough light? Any suggestions are welcome!

    No idea, my dioscorea mexicana is doing the same, just a long tendril without leaves

    How often do you water? Any insights on substrate?

    It’s etiolated, light starved. it’s growing longer tendrils in an attempt to find light. You need to supplement lighting with proper grow lights.
