However, the flowers are rather dull and insignificant, and the plants are grown for their attractive leaves. Thriving in indirect sunlight, these small and dainty plants look great grouped together with other succulents and rarely outgrow their containers so repotting is infrequently required. Pearl plants will survive on watering once a month but will thrive if you water once every two weeks in the growing season.
However, overwatering can cause root rot and can be highly detrimental. Allow the surface of the compost to dry out between waterings, and water much more sparingly in the winter months. An ornamental trailing cactus that comes into its own when potted in a hanging basket or left to meander off a shelf, there really is nothing else quite like the fishbone cactus. It is an epiphytic plant, and grows hanging from trees in its natural conditions. Pot the fishbone cactus in a gritty, free-draining mixture.
Unlike most cacti it will thrive with summer humidity and can be grown in semi shade or full sun. Extra sun in the early spring will promote flowering. Throughout the summer months make sure that the potting mixture is kept just damp at all times, but do not allow the pot to sit in a tray of water as this can easily bring on root rot. Through the winter months, do not allow the temperature to drop too much and keep watering to a minimum.
The fishbone cactus enjoys a small pot and should be repotted only when it has completely outgrown its current container. The pale pink, short-lived flowers will only appear on mature and root-bound plants. A tube forming trailing plant with dainty dark green and lilac heart shaped leaves that cascade in pairs down the stems, the Woodii is a popular houseplant which is easy to grow and looks highly impressive in a small hanging pot or basket.
Each stem can reach up to 1.

During the active growth and flowering season water sparingly, the Ceropegia is a succulent plant so its stores water in its leaves, during this time it will only need enough to ensure that the potting mixture is slightly damp. During the winter rest period, decrease water even more, only watering to prevent the leaves from shriveling.

The unusual leaf structure of these aptly named plants is definitely part of their great appeal as house plants. They start off undivided in young plants, becoming cut and perforated as they develop these type of leaves are known as fenestrate leaves. A moss pole is a popular method of support; Swiss cheese plants produce aerial roots and these can be pushed into the moss, or guided back into the compost, to help hold the plant steady.
Keep out of direct sun but in good, bright light, and mist the leaves occasionally if the air is dry. Flowering is rare in the home but may occur on mature, well-grown plants.
