Full description and specifications
Ceropegia Sandersonii is a fascinating insectivorous plant, known by many names: Umbrella Flower, Parachute Flower, African Parachute, Fountain Flower or Lantern Flower.
The flowers of Ceropegia Sandersonii spread a pleasant citrus scent. The plant has a very long flowering period, which extends between the months of February and December.
Ceropegia Sandersonii won the "Award of Garden Merit" award offered by the Royal Horticultural Society in 2017
Originally from South Africa and Mozambique, Ceropegia Sandersonii stands out for the incredible appearance of its flowers, but also for the way it uses flies for pollination. Flies (especially those from the Desmometopa family) are attracted to Ceropegia flowers due to a mixture of chemicals, and then they are immobilized by the perisoria inside the flower and covered with pollen. A day later, the Ceropegia Sandersonii flower withers, releasing the fly that will later enter another flower, producing pollination.
Caring for this plant is quite easy. The plant can be placed in a bright room or on the 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.
