Description

Gonolobus cyclophyllusGonolobus cyclophyllus (also known as Matelea cyclophylla) is a fascinating caudiciform vine native to Mexico, prized by collectors for its sculptural, corky caudex and delicate seasonal vines. The caudex can reach up to about 8 inches (20 centimeters) in diameter and is covered in soft, cork like tubercles that give it a textured, natural look. From this swollen base emerge slender, deciduous vines that can climb or trail up to 36 feet (12 meters)

Gonolobus cyclophyllus (also known as Matelea cyclophylla) is a fascinating caudiciform vine native to Mexico, prized by collectors for its sculptural, corky caudex and delicate seasonal vines. The caudex can reach up to about 8 inches (20 centimeters) in diameter and is covered in soft, cork-like tubercles that give it a textured, natural look. From this swollen base emerge slender, deciduous vines that can climb or trail up to 3–6 feet (1–2 meters) long, producing heart-shaped green leaves during the growing season. The plant’s small, star-shaped flowers—typically burgundy to brown or greenish in color—often emit a faint carrion-like scent that attracts fly pollinators. Native to limestone and volcanic cliffs of western Mexico, Gonolobus cyclophyllus thrives in bright, indirect light and well-draining soil, requiring moderate watering during active growth and very little moisture during dormancy, when the vines die back and leave the caudex exposed. It's unusual combination of a sculptural base, ephemeral foliage, and intriguing flowers makes it a striking and collectible species among lovers of caudiciform and succulent plants. 

Gonolobus cyclophyllus is a deciduous caudex-forming plant that usually drops its leaves and enters dormancy during the cooler, lower-light seasons, such as fall and winter. During this period, it should be kept dry, since it requires minimal water without leaves and is susceptible to root rot.

Please Note: Plant will ship bare root with little to no dirt, you will receive a plant similar to the one in the photo. Plant may or may not be in vine. Fragile: leaves may curl, fall off, or bruise during shipping. Will recover with proper light, water, and leaf shedding.

Comfortable Shoes Right Out of the Box
Size: 9, Color: Black
I bought these shoes for my husband. He has a very hard time finding quality, comfortable shoes. These shoes are just as comfortable as his New Balance. He uses them as a dress shoe and wears them at least once a week. There was no break in period necessary. They were comfortable right out of the box! The only thing we didn't like was the white sole color. Once I knew he was going to keep them, I used a black sharpie marker to color the soles black. Instant amazing, comfortable dress shoes. They were well worth the cost. If you or your SO needs a comfortable pair of shoes, we highly recommend them.

Decent Shoes with Misleading Description (Not Leather)
Size: 12 Wide, Color: Black, Size: 12 Wide, Color: Black
I only look for leather when I’m purchasing dress shoes. Under the description “details” on this item it lists the shoe as leather upper and inner lining. A photo shows “genuine Napa leather lining”. If you keep reading (which I have now that I’ve received the shoes) it shows “faux leather” in the small print and that is not “leather”. I run a small leather business and this irks me because it’s clearly false advertising. The details also show the product is made in Brazil but when they arrived today, the shoe tag shows “Made in China” and “Man Made upper and lower”. I don’t hate the shoes. They look nice. What I know is they won’t hold up over time like leather, which is why the description should be accurate and not misleading.
