Care
Ceropegia woodii is very easy to care for. It belongs to the succulent family, which means it has specialized roots for storing water. This means you hardly need to water it. In spring and summer, you can mist it a little once a week; in winter, a spray every two to three weeks is sufficient. Be sure to water only when the soil is completely dry. The location of the Lantern Plant is also not complicated; it thrives best in a spot with plenty of daylight. However, Ceropegia woodii also survives well in the dark. Additionally, Ceropegia is non-toxic. Finally, the plant can grow strands over a meter long.
