Ceropegia woodii

I'm totally in love with Ceropegias right now. After having my Ceropegia woodii for only a few months, the plant has grown at least four feet and is in bloom. The leaves are beautiful, the flowers are weird. I love it.


Of course I've started looking into other varieties of this beauty in hopes of expanding my collection. Much to my disappointment, I've found that most aren't available on the market. I guess I need to find cuttings of the tri color somewhere and then try to get seed of other varieties so I can get some in circulation here. How can you not love the geometry of these flowers? They look like something out of a Stephen King book.

They also form a Caudex. I'm so in love....

  1. Hi Stephanie! I love plants but keep killing them ... I bought a ceropegia Woodii plant recently and love it so much! I also bought a soil meter (ph moisture temp sun) so that hopefully I won't kill it! I live in Sydney and its summer now. I have been reading a lot of mixed reviews on how best to care for ceropegia. What sort of conditions would you recommend? I have had no luck finding any ph or moisture ranges on line that I should be trying to achieve on my soil meter. Thanks!
