Ceropegia linearis

Even if you don't have a green thumb, you can successfully care for Ceropegia linearis due to its easy-going nature.

Ceropegia linearis does best in dry soil and should only be watered sparingly.

Ceropegia linearis loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

To ensure optimal growth, the Ceropegia linearis prefers bright diffused light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

During the wintertime, it's common for Ceropegia linearis to go dormant and their growth may slow down, so waterings should be spaced out more.

Ceropegia linearis is not known to cause harm to humans or pets.

The Ceropegia linearis does not necessitate supplementary humidity. Plants primarily absorb water through their roots, rather than their leaves. Hence, the most effective way to supply humidity to your plants is by watering the soil.

The Ceropegia linearis should be transferred to a new pot once it has increased in size two-fold, or on an annual basis, whichever occurs earlier. Replacing the soil with fresh potting soil containing all the necessary nutrients, is sufficient enough to support the growth of the plant, thus avoiding the need to use fertilizer. It's important to note that plants derive their energy from the sun and not fertilizer.

Ceropegia linearis’s native range is Africa to Southern Asia and Australia.
