Ceropegia Sandersonii is a fascinating insect-eating plant, known by many names: Umbrella Flower, Parachute Flower, African Parachute, Fountain Flower, or Lantern Flower.
The flowers of Ceropegia Sandersonii emit a pleasant citrus scent. The plant has a very long blooming period, extending from February to December.
Ceropegia Sandersonii won the "Award of Garden Merit" in 2017, given by the Royal Horticultural Society.
Native to South Africa and Mozambique, Ceropegia Sandersonii stands out for the incredible appearance of its flowers, as well as the way it uses flies for pollination. Flies (especially those from the Desmometopa family) are attracted to the flowers of Ceropegia by a blend of chemicals, then become trapped by the hairs inside the flower and covered with pollen. A day later, the Ceropegia Sandersonii flower wilts, releasing the fly which will then enter another flower, causing pollination.
Caring for this plant is quite easy. The plant can be placed in a bright room or on a balcony and requires little water. This plant is perfect for anyone who wants a special plant at home!
This plant blooms easily, is suitable for a terrarium, and purifies the air.
