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.
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 cissusspecies; 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.
