Ceropegia sandersonii x radicans

Ceropegia sandersonii x radicans, sometimes also listed under the name Ceropegia Uranus, is a hybrid created by crossing Ceropegia sandersonii with Ceropegia radicans. It belongs among the climbing and trailing Ceropegias grown mainly for their unusual flowers.

The plant produces thin, vine-like shoots that can be trained onto a support or allowed to cascade freely from a pot. The leaves are typically small and slightly succulent, as is common in the genus, giving the plant a light and airy growth habit.

The main attraction is its distinctive flowers, which have the characteristic Ceropegia shape and resemble small lanterns or tubular traps for pollinators. Flowering is usually the primary reason this hybrid is cultivated.

Ceropegia sandersonii x radicans grows best in a bright position with well-draining soil, watered only after the substrate has dried. With its trailing habit, it is ideal for hanging baskets or for training up a support. This hybrid is a great choice for growers who enjoy cascading Ceropegias with striking blooms.
