Ceropegia racemosa ssp setifera
lantern flower - parasol flower seeds
Description
Ceropegia racemosa ssp. setifera is a fascinating trailing succulent with delicate, trailing stems and small, opposite leaves. The 'setifera' subspecies is characterized by the presence of fine hairs. This plant produces unique, often intricate flowers with fused petals, resembling small lanterns. It thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers a well-draining potting mix, similar to other Ceropegia species. This plant needs very careful watering to avoid root rot. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, and avoid overwatering, especially during the cooler months. Regular misting can help increase humidity and promote better growth.
