Ceropegia AbyssinicaCeropegia abyssinica

Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is a common cause of root rot.

Reduce watering significantly during the winter dormancy period, providing just enough to prevent the tubers from completely shriveling. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.

Pruning is generally minimal for Ceropegia abyssinica. Remove any dead, damaged, or leggy stems as needed to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth.

Pruning can also be done to control the size of the plant and remove unwanted trailing stems.

Easily propagated from stem cuttings or by dividing the tuberous roots. Take stem cuttings during the growing season and allow them to callous for a few days before planting in well-draining soil.

Divisions can be made when repotting, ensuring each piece has some roots attached.

Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant outgrows its current container. Use a well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix.

Repot in the spring, before the active growing season begins, to minimize transplant shock and allow the roots to establish.
