Ceropegia linearis Remy

Ceropegia linearis Remy is a trailing Ceropegia with small fleshy leaves and a vine-like growth habit. The name Remy is most likely a trade label used by growers, as the exact origin of this form is not clearly documented. It is valued mainly for the simple, uniform appearance of its foliage.

The leaves are elongated to slightly arrow-shaped, and in this form they are mostly dark green without any strong patterning. They are small, mildly succulent, and grow in opposite pairs along thin cascading stems. The plant develops from underground tubers and gradually produces long shoots that are ideal for hanging pots.

Flowers may appear mainly in summer, but under good conditions the plant can bloom at other times as well. The blooms are small and have the typical candle-like shape characteristic of the genus Ceropegia, adding an interesting detail among the leaves.

Ceropegia linearis Remy is a hardy trailing plant that grows best in a bright spot with indirect light. Watering should be done only several days after the soil has completely dried out, and the plant tolerates irregular care quite well. If you are looking for a Ceropegia with uniformly dark green leaves and an elegant trailing habit, Remy is a very attractive choice for a collection.
