Soil: This plant does well in a rich cactus potting mix, but can become too elongated if compost is too rich. The all green variety tends to grow more quickly (although it's still slow by most houseplant standards) and is arguably more hardy, but it also comes in a some pretty slow growing variegated varieties. Growth rate: The plants grow profusely and can fill a 25 cm pot in just a year or two given the best conditions. However the flowers are most interesting and worth the trouble, only bearing in mind that this species benefits from slightly warmer winter than others. During the growing period it requires heat, light and adequate watering. In a warm Mediterranean climate, it can be grown as a ground cover as well. woodii forms the most striking trailing stems if grown in a suspended basket. They can be sowed immediatelyĬultivation and Propagation: Ceropegia linearis subs. The five petals are a deeper purple/ brown.īlooming season: The Ceropegia woodii blooms in profusion most in late summer-autumn (but flowers continues to appear till mid-winter if growing-conditions are adequate).įruits: Horn-shaped seed pods containing flat seeds with their own little parachute, that are carried by any draft. (resemble small upturned vases) 2,5-3 cm long, off-white and pale magenta. The tubers are that forms at regular intervals on the stems can be used to propagate the plantįlowers: In general shape similar to those of other Ceropegia species, waxy, narrow. On the stems these form at nodes and are likely the reason for the common name of rosary vine. Tubers: The roots, and occasionally the stems, will often develop tubers. Leaves: Heart shaped that look somewhat like cyclamen leaves and marbled with shades of silver and green on the top, and green to purple on the undersurface. Stem: Thin and pendulous from which leaves hang, variegata hort.ĭescription: Succulent, evergreen trailing vine, that grows to 2-5 cm in height and spreads to reach up to 2-4 m in length. woodii (Schltr.)
