I’m new to caudiciforms and am looking to get an adenium arabicum as well as a Dioscorea sylvatica which are pictured. Since I’m a novice I wanted to get some second opinions to make sure they aren’t field collected
Also should I just assume that all Stephania are poached? I’d really like an erecta but I’ve read that it’s close to impossible to find a cultivated one for sale
calkinos
I don’t think those are poached, Dioscorea sylvatica of such small size are not really poached. They are usually much larger plants. They are easy to grow from seed, I bet these are just a large recent import, so the roots are trimmed etc
