Cynanchum marnierianum
, commonly called the Bundle of Sticks plant, is an unusual and highly architectural succulent vine from Madagascar. Known for its thin, jointed green stems that resemble a tangled mass of twigs, it grows with a trailing or cascading habit that makes it perfect for hanging planters, tall pots, or mounted displays. Despite its stark, leafless appearance, this is a living, photosynthetic plant that thrives on minimal care and rewards with slow, graceful growth.

This species belongs to the milkweed family (Apocynaceae) and, while foliage is minimal or absent, it will occasionally produce tiny star-shaped flowers under the right conditions.

Care Guide

  • Light: Bright, filtered light to partial sun. Tolerates some direct morning sun but prefers protection from strong afternoon rays.

  • Water: Allow soil to dry completely between waterings. Water sparingly, especially in winter.

  • Humidity: Tolerates low humidity well. No additional misting or humidity is needed.

  • Temperature: Prefers 65–85°F. Protect from cold drafts and avoid temperatures below 50°F.

  • Soil: Use a sharply draining cactus or succulent mix with added pumice or perlite. Avoid moisture-retentive substrates.

  • Fertilizer: Feed once monthly during spring and summer with a diluted cactus or low-nitrogen fertilizer. No feeding needed during winter.

Blooms

Under bright, warm conditions, Cynanchum marnierianum may produce tiny pale yellow to greenish-white flowers. Blooms typically appear during the growing season (late spring through summer) and are small and inconspicuous, but charming up close.

How to Grow Indoors (San Francisco)

Place near a bright window with indirect light or dappled morning sun. South- or east-facing exposures are ideal. Requires minimal watering—every 2–3 weeks is often sufficient. San Francisco tap water is generally safe for this species. Ambient indoor humidity is more than adequate.

How to Grow Outdoors (San Francisco)

This species can be grown outdoors in a protected location during warm months. Choose a spot with bright, indirect light or filtered sun. Avoid full, hot sun exposure or excessive rain. Bring indoors when nighttime temperatures drop below 50°F. Performs well in hanging baskets or mounted on bark with excellent drainage.

Pet Safe:

No — This species belongs to the milkweed family and may be toxic if ingested. Best kept away from pets and small children.

Why We Love It

Sculptural, strange, and gothic, Cynanchum marnierianum offers a minimalist take on the trailing houseplant. It's ideal for those drawn to the odd and beautiful—and it makes a graceful statement without demanding much in return.

Great light, great price!
Color: White, Color: White
I'm a Carnivore who does all of my meat and fish cooking outdoors, adjacent to my kitchen. For the winter, I've put up a half-umbrella to keep the rain off of my cooktop. This light rounds out the kitchen by providing GREAT light for my alfresco kitchen. It works like a charm and is easy on the batteries.. I LOVE it!

Good price, easy to install
Color: Warm
First, the price is right. It is easy to install. My biggest problem was within a few hours, one of the bulbs already burned out. We are still using it and the rest work great.

Great Invention
Color: White, Color: White
So simple to install and we absolutely love having this light on our patio table. You can adjust this light anywhere on the pole and direct the lights to shine up or down depending on your preference. It also has three settings. It is well made and runs on 4 AA batteries. This is a great invention and several people that have seen this light have ordered one for their own patio tables.

Bright, easy to use
Color: White
Love that you have different light settings. Perfect lighting. Fit easy and perfect. Only downfall is you need 4 batteries. Not had it long enough to know how long it will last. Would buy again.
