Plant Care Needs

• ☀: Place in bright, indirect sunlight. Ceropegia Woodii prefers at least 4-6 hours of sunlight per day but can tolerate partial shade.

• 💦: Allow the soil to dry out partially between waterings. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, approximately every 10-14 days, depending on environmental conditions.

• 🪨: Plant in well-draining succulent or cactus soil mix. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. We recommend a combination of The Mix and Tits & Grit Cacti & Succulent Mix! But either alone would do just fine!

• 🌡️: Thrives in temperatures between 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C). Protect from frost and extreme temperature fluctuations.

• ☁: Adapted to low humidity environments. Does not require additional misting.

• ✂: Propagate from stem cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus before planting in moist, well-draining soil.

• ⚖: Low maintenance. Suitable for beginners and experienced growers alike.

• 💭:

• Fertilize sparingly with a balanced fertilizer diluted to half strength during the growing season (spring and summer).
• Prune any leggy or overgrown stems to maintain the plant’s shape and encourage bushier growth.
• Monitor for signs of pests, such as spider mites or mealybugs, and treat promptly if detected.
