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.

It's hot.
Color: Silver
It's hot. I like it. I make my tea in a 20 oz mug. Invariably it gets cold and I need to reheat it. Someone suggested I order a mug warmer. I chose this one. It has 3 heat settings and a 12 hr timer with auto turn off. What more could I ask for? Except that it has a low profile and easy to read and set settings, it does. Prefect.

The perfect coffee mug warmer!
Color: Wood
If you need a coffee cup warmer for your desk or work-station, this is it! I've been using almost daily for several weeks now and zero complaints thus far. As with many-a-reviewer, the problem I was trying to solve is my coffee going cold long before I was done with it, leading to repeated microwave rewarm sessions. After reading through numerous reviews, articles on the matter, and forum postings, I settled on this product. My requirements: - I did not want to use a specialized cup - I did not want to have to find "flat-bottom" cups, I wanted to use any cup in my cupboard - I wanted the coffee to stay hot, not just warm - I needed auto-off, since I surely would forget to turn it off - Idiot-proof controls This product's description seemed to check all the boxes, and it delivered! I've been using for several weeks and it's been perfect. It works with my regular ceramic coffee mugs, and on high setting, keeps my coffee pretty hot (130F). All my ceramic mugs are concave bottom - look at picture in my review - so that's why it only gets that hot on High. A flat-bottom cup may only need Medium setting since it would have more contact area for heat transfer. The faux-wood trim makes it look sorta classy, and although it is large, it doesn't look absurd on my desk, and I'd rather it be bigger than my cup, rather than too small. And I imagine I could use it to keep soup or other food warm on my desk, since I also take forever to finish food when I do eat at my desk. The faux-wood trim does not get hot-to-touch, so it also prevents burns from accidental touch. The surface is, of course, very hot but no little kids or cats in our house, so that wasn't a concern for me. I'm glad I went with this 36W option, even though some articles I read indicated this was overkill. As mentioned above, I imagine I need the higher wattage heating element because I use regular concave-bottom coffee mugs. I have it plugged into surge protector that powers my tower PC and 4 UHD 27" monitors, and I haven't tripped anything yet. 36W is even less than what a fast-charging laptop charger would pull, so this doesn't seem excessive for a workstation. FOOD SAFETY WARNING: As a former research lab assistant that grew bacterial cultures as one of my duties, I'd like to remind people to keep in mind that the danger zone for bacterial growth is ~40F to 140F, especially with dairy creamers. To test temperatures, I used a ceramic concave-bottom mug (starbucks mug in picture) and a metallic flat-bottom mug (green mug in picture). Here are the liquid temperatures I measured for this warmer: - Ceramic convex-bottom mug, Warmer on High: 130F - Metallic flat-bottom mug, Warmer on High: 175F - Metallic flat-bottom mug, Warmer on Med: 150F As you can see, the concave-bottom makes a significant difference in heat transfer, and thus the temperature of the liquid. Use common sense on how long you leave your coffee on the warmer. Coffee at 130F is probably fine for a couple hours, but if you're gonna be leaving it all day, you'll want it to be at 140F+, so use a flat-bottom cup. The metallic one I have got real hot to the touch, including handle and lip of cup, even at Medium, so you'll probably want to use a ceramic one.

My favorite desk item
Color: Wood
I love my coffee but it must be hot-every sip! I'd get up at work so often to go reheat my coffee in the nuker & don'tlike the microwave AND a hater coworker even commented to me that she noticed "how much I get up from my desk" so I thought, they gotta be making coffee hot plates for desktops these days & boom, they do!! I like the wood finish, right my aesthetic alley. The plate has 3 settings; high, medium & low. Even has an auto shutoff after..idk how many hours so built in safety. I've even put my ceramic cup of soup on there to keep it warm while I work through lunch a couple times & it worked for my soup on the high setting. Coffee goes to medium when I first get in since it cools on the car ride over & then down to low once it's hot again. Will be getting one for the home office here soon.
