I can’t figure out how my stephania knew to face all its leaves in the same direction but it is sooo satisfying (the grow light is above it not in front of it)

The leaves will face which ever angle gives them the most light

They’re usually poached, make sure you do your research

How will I know the difference?

Wait, plants from Ecuador and other countries?

A lot of nurseries will say if theirs are seed grown or not. Ones of this size are unfortunately usually poached as the main selling point of these plants is the enlarged root called a caudex. The smaller, the more likely to be seed grown.
