Ceropegia woodii variegated

How to grow Ceropegia woodii variegated in NZ

Grow Ceropegia woodii variegated in a sunny sheltered position, using a gritty succulent mix with excellent drainage. Choose a container with drainage holes or a raised planting area that sheds winter rain. Plant at the original depth and avoid burying the crown. Let the mix dry between waterings. Introduce plants gradually to stronger sunlight and protect them from frost. In colder NZ regions, containers make winter shelter much easier. Check moisture regularly as the new roots settle into their surroundings.

Ceropegia woodii variegated care tips

Care for Ceropegia woodii variegated by matching moisture and feeding to its growing season. Allow the potting mix to dry between waterings and empty saucers promptly. Water much less during cool weather, particularly when growth slows. Feed sparingly in spring or summer with a suitable succulent fertiliser. Remove dead leaves and check for mealybugs. Protect from frost and persistent winter rain. Good drainage is more useful than frequent feeding for healthy roots.
