What's Happening

Ceropegia woodii is a semi-succulent trailing vine native to South Africa with tuberous water storage roots and thin, heart-shaped leaves. Its care requirements balance succulent drought tolerance with tropical humidity preferences.

How to Fix It

  1. 1

    Light: 1000-2500 foot-candles bright indirect light; east or west-facing windows ideal

  2. 2

    Soil: 50% succulent/cactus mix + 30% perlite + 20% orchid bark for drainage

  3. 3

    Watering: Allow soil to dry completely (10-14 days typical) between thorough soakings

  4. 4

    Humidity: Tolerates 40-60% standard household humidity; no misting required

  5. 5

    Temperature: 65-80°F preferred; protect from drafts and temperature swings

How to Prevent It

Mimic native habitat: bright indirect light, well-draining gritty soil, and infrequent deep watering. Avoid over-pampering with constant moisture.
