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.
