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.

Fun & Fast moving toy for my cats!
Color: A1-Red
This is such a fun little toy to keep my cats entertained. They were definitely weary about it for the first few days, but started to get used to it and play with it after a bit. I wish there was an even slower option because the slow option is still pretty fast, but at least it gets them up and moving. They will even play with the tail part when it's not turned on. Like others have said, it does collect hair pretty easily, but it's very easy to clean off. I don't have any dogs, but I could see smaller dogs loving this as well!

That it’s usable for more than one day
Color: A3-Pink, Color: A3-Pink
The toy itself is great and my puppy enjoyed it. My problem is that it didn’t come with a charging cord and none of mine fit. It never changed colors. Maybe if I had a charger cord it would be worth it, but right now it’s useless!!

Fun for Fido but flimsy
Color: A2-Blue
My 15 yearold mini Schnauzer, Sam, played with this for less than 1 hour and tore the rubber sleeve off it. I will say the toy itself is a genius idea. Sam was absolutely ensconced. I wish it were made sturdier.

It does exactly what they say it does! Worth the money
Color: A1-Red
It arrived quickly. It’s a fun toy! It’s the right size for cats. Definitely worth the money. It is exactly as described. So far, the quality seems very good and it seems durable. The instructions are on the side of the box, which makes learning how to operate it easy. I love it that it’s red, because my kitty seems to be attracted to red. My kitty is very interested in it, yet isn’t quite sure what to think of it. I love that it changes directions on its own so that it doesn’t get stuck or lost under furniture, which is typical for a ball that cats play with. It seems to only go two, three or four feet in one direction and then it changes directions, which is both good and bad. I just wish it would go farther in one direction before changing directions so that my kitty could chase it farther, as we have plenty of space in our house for her to run. But that certainly could be a plus for other cats, enjoying not knowing where the ball is going to go next and really keep them on their toes.

Cat loves this
Color: A1-Red
This toy is great for keeping pets entertained. The ball moves quickly and the tail makes it even more fun for cats to chase. It’s rechargeable and easy to use, and my pet stayed interested much longer than with regular toys.
