Ceropegia simonae is worth growing for both its flowers and its strange, almost reptilian stems. This stapeliad from Madagascar forms small trailing branches, deep green and textur ed with a network of fine wrinkles. New growth twists and spirals around the pot, resembling what the tail of a small dragon might look like. The flowers are classic Ceropegia but particularly showy, with long, narrow tubes that flare at the tips like a bell, often patterned with vibrant green and purple spots that match the hues of the plant. It blooms well in warm conditions with bright light, and the stems eventually grow long enough to hang and coil around themselves. These are well-established rooted cuttings from our parent plant pictured in the second photo. Show more
