  Cyphostemma juttae
Flowers are inconspicuous, but the large grape-like bunches of bright wine-coloured berries near the end of summer make this succulent a true showpiece for container and garden alike.
Cyphostemma juttae is a very sought-after plant for the garden, as are other caudiciform plants such as baobabs, adeniums and tylecodons.
The seeds of Cyphostemma juttae can be sown in winter.

  UCBG *Aloes-Big, Medium and Small *
Although cyphostemma was separated from cissus because of technical details of flower structure, once seen few cyphostemmas would ever be mistaken for a cissus.
Cyphostemmas, strictly African in origin, are prized even as young plants because of their striking caudices often covered with peeling, papery bark.
The tropical cyphostemmas need much the same care as the east African cissus species; lots of light, protection from cold, reasonable amounts of water when growing and a fairly rigorous dry period when their leaves drop in winter until their new growth starts in spring.

 Cyphostemma juttae in PA without a GH...possible?? - Cacti & Succulents Forum - GardenWeb
HI, I was wondering if anyone here grows Cyphostemma juttae in the rainy north without a GH and could let me know how easy/tough they are under those conditions....I've always loved the one at the conservatory here and it would be nice to have an old looking specimen if they are not impossible to grow.
Ive been growing several different Cyphostemmas in PA for years, when the leaves fall in the Fall they are under flourescents in the winter.
Cyphostemmas are tropical plants - they would grow well in your conditions in the summer, as long as they're in a porous mix - you should experience phenomenal growth on them.
