 | | 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. |
