GoOnThen Posted December 23, 2013 I have had this plant for a year or so and it first lived in my grow room in my shed and then after I completed my greenhouse last summer it took up residence in there. Initially it grew not at any great rate but it grew and seemed happy enough. After the move into the greenhouse I hooked it up as it was starting to get quite long and it continued with much the same growth as before. The main stem continued to fatten up as it grew longer. It is only in a 89mm pot and in a very fast draining mix but with it regular watering and liquid fertz it still seemed happy enough. In the last few weeks it has just about doubled its length and It has what looks like flower buds on it. I am going to string up something for it to go on now as it is really starting to take over. Is any one else growing this plant? If so please post photos and info about its growing conditions. I can remember Bogfrog having a crest but I don't recall seeing any one else mentioning that they had one. It is an interesting plant and I might look at propagating it if others feel the same way. This little Euphorbia obesa was wanting in on the action as well. Cheers Got 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bogfrog Posted December 23, 2013 Nice one bud. I have a stapeliiformis crest, and I had a ceropegia fusca which has red flowers. Hmm.. Growing conditions... Basically I have no idea sorry. Somehow it never grew at all while in my care, but remained healthy, until I gave it to my mum and it went crazy, flower buds on the tip of each stem. She keeps it indoors on a bright windowsill, which will get atleast 4 hours of sun on a nice day. Some info from cactus art: "Cultivation: Full to part sun, moderate water in warm season, drier in winter. It requires hot conditions and how much sun as possible to grow well. Can be grown outdoor in mild climate where it proves to grow well semi-neglected. It is also very resistant and is very rare to see an aphid or a sick part, be only aware of mealy bugs. Propagation: Seeds, cuttings. Uses: It is a slow grower plant not suitable for indoor culture, it can be used as an ornamental plant in arid gardens. It requires hot and very sunny conditions to grow well." http://www.cactus-art.biz/schede/CEROPEGIA/Ceropegia_fusca/Ceropegia_fusca/Ceropegia_fusca.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stillman Posted December 25, 2013 We have a crest that we just rotted lol. Its healing up again and will survive, I think I might try and graft it. I'll get some photos soon. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
