Ceropegia forms a few-flowered umbrella-shaped inflorescence.

 Family of lastovnevye. Homeland Asia, Africa, Australia and the Pacific Islands. In nature, there are about 150 species. The name ceropegia comes from the Greek keros - wax and pege - spring, fountain (from the shape of the flower). Ceropegia is a relative of the well-known hoya.

 The most common species is Ceropegia woodii - a herbaceous plant with a tuberous rhizome. The stems are thin, threadlike, creeping, with few branches. The leaves are opposite, on short petioles, round-heart-shaped, fleshy, about 2.5 cm in diameter. The surface of the leaf is bare, with a silvery marble pattern on a green background on top, and with a purple tint on the bottom. Ceropegia forms a few-flowered umbellate inflorescence. The corolla of the flower is about 2.5-3 cm long, fused, pitcher-shaped, swollen at the base, lilac-pink with dark purple, double petals along the edge.

CARE TIPS

 Temperature: Moderate, cool in winter, preferably not higher than 17°C, minimum 10°C.

 Lighting: Bright sunlight, shading on a southern window at midday. With a lack of color, the leaves of the plant become even smaller, the shoots are sparse and sparsely foliated, and flowering may not occur.
