Asplundia ceci is a climbing liana (sometimes terrestrial) in the Cyclanthaceae family, native to wet rainforests from Costa Rica to northwestern Colombia. It is not a common cultivated plant, so care guidance comes mainly from general knowledge of tropical Cyclanthaceae, which need warmth, humidity and shade.
