Unusual trailing succulent with thumb sized green flowers
Name: Ceropegia Ampliata.
This is a fascinating plant to have. Grows readily away from frost. Good houseplant. This is a well rooted plant with growing tendrils.
It doesn't look much with its string -like fleshy tendrils, until it flowers ........and then green thumb sized cylindrical flowers come forth with claws over the top opening.
The plant for sale is in the square red plastic pot.
The other photos are of the parent plant.
Thanks for Looking.
Pickup is in Kuripuni.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
