Product Information
We do our best to ensure product descriptions, specifications, care information and other details are accurate and up to date. Information is provided as a general guide and may vary between batches, suppliers, individual plants or product revisions.

Stock availability
Website stock levels update live from our inventory system, but occasional discrepancies can occur due to in-store sales, damage or stock adjustments. This is more likely when only 1 or 2 units are showing as available.

Product images
Images are provided as a visual guide and may not show the exact individual item for sale. Plants can naturally vary in size, fullness, colour, shape and stage of growth, and images may show a mature specimen to demonstrate how a younger plant may develop.

Images are either owned by Kambarang Garden Centre, used under an appropriate licence or with permission, or created with AI assistance. AI imagery is used to improve the background of existing photos, and to provide representative images where a suitable real-world photo is difficult or impractical to obtain, particularly for mature plants. Special care is taken to preserve the genuine appearance, colour, form, foliage, flowers and growth habit as accurately as current AI image technology allows.

Plant sizing
Plant sizes refer to the pot size, not the exact size of the plant. For example:

  • 100 mm = 10 cm diameter pot
  • 140 mm = 14 cm diameter pot
  • 5 L = 5 litre pot

Smaller pot sizes generally indicate younger plants, although actual plant size can vary significantly between species, varieties and growth habits.

Description

Ceropegia radicans, commonly known as the Desert Vine, is a distinctive succulent native to South Africa's Eastern Cape province. This evergreen plant features trailing stems that can extend between 1–3 metres in length, making it ideal for hanging baskets or as a cascading feature in pots. Its fleshy, ovate leaves are a rich green, providing a lush backdrop to its unique, lantern-like flowers. These flowers have a slender, tubular structure that flares into a cage-like formation at the top, showcasing a blend of green and dark purple hues. While flowering is sporadic, when it does occur, it adds an exotic touch to any indoor setting.

In Perth, Ceropegia radicans thrives indoors in bright, indirect light. It prefers well-draining, sandy or loamy soil and requires moderate watering; allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. During the warmer months, a monthly application of a balanced liquid fertiliser supports healthy growth. As temperatures cool in Makuru (winter), reduce watering to mimic its natural dormant period. Pruning the trailing stems helps maintain the desired shape and encourages bushier growth.
