    My Ceropegia sandersonii has finally broken its dormancy!

    Since the housemove it has just sat there doing nothing. However, about a week ago I noticed the first flowers forming and the first one is now open.

      Catztail/Pete - on the whole they're very easy. C.woodii adapted to its new home in the bathroom really well..................

        There are some real gems in the genus Simbad - these two are fairly common.

          I've only grown Woodii in the past, very easy, can survive neglect.

          It almost rewards you for neglect - mine seems to produce the aerial tubers over the winter when I withhold water.
