Also known as the parachute or umbrella plant, it has medium-sized, very succulent, lanceolate leaves and medium-thick stems that trail, making it perfect for hanging baskets or as a trailing plant. Its flowers are tubular and have a bulbous base that expands into a parachute-like shape, and it is a semi-carnivorous plant that attracts and feeds on small insects. Caring for Ceropegia sandersonii is easy, and it prefers bright, indirect light and well-draining soil. Add this conversation starter to your indoor garden today! Photo credit: Sage Reynolds.
