Ceropegia linearis 'Merel' - planta curgatoare cu frunzis variegat

Ceropegia linearis 'Merel' is a succulent plant prized for its slender stems and heart-shaped, green leaves with silver or darker accents. This variety is part of the Ceropegia family and has a flowing appearance, making it ideal for hanging pots, where the long stems can grow freely and cascade down.

Care:

1. Light : Ceropegia linearis 'Merel' prefers bright indirect light. It also adapts well to direct morning or afternoon light, but should be protected from intense midday sun, which can burn the leaves.

2. Watering : Like many succulents, they prefer moderate watering. It is important to let the soil dry completely between waterings to avoid root rot. In the colder months, watering should be reduced.

3. Soil : It needs a well-drained soil, ideally a mix for cacti and succulents. Drainage is essential to prevent excess water accumulation.

4. Temperature and Humidity : Ceropegia linearis tolerates indoor temperatures well, but should be protected from temperatures below 10 degrees Celsius. Normal room humidity is sufficient, but it also does well in dry environments.

5. Fertilization : Fertilization can be done once every 2-3 months during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted fertilizer for succulent plants.

6. Propagation : It can be propagated by stem cuttings, which are allowed to dry for a few hours, then planted in slightly moist soil.
