String like Succulent with thumb sized green flowers
This unassuming looking succulent comes into its own when it flowers.
Thumb size green cylindrical flowers with open top and about 5 little claws curving over the open top.
Has a trailing or climbing habit.
Name: Ceropegia Ampliata
Probably more an indoor plant. If you are comfortable growing Hoyas it likes much the same treatment. Suitable in a hanging container
The plant for sale is the one in the pot with the tendrils. A nice healthy established plant.
Not very common.
I got my original plant from a friend when we were living in the Bay of Plenty over 45 years ago.
Easy to grow.
Thanks for looking.
Pickup is in Kuripuni.
Update " Ive added a picture of the second and last plant I have of this by request.
