| Ceropegia cimiciodora is not
an easy species and not to be recommended to the 'beginner', but it is
more robust than Ceropegia stapeliiformis. In the wild this species grows as a creeper between the surrounding vegetation, whereby the stems root at the front, whereas the lower parts of the plant dies off. Only the flowering stems loop themselves up around close by branches. This is why the plant best needs a widened pot, with some deftness a normal sized pot may also be sufficient. The petals of the flowers of this leafless, highly succulent species are not close-knit like in most other members of the genus. |
