Toxicity
Greg does not have confirmed data on this plantâs toxicity. If you, a family member, or a pet consumes plant material of unknown toxicity, itâs always best to consult a medical professional.

Humidity
Ceropegia bosseri doesnât require additional humidity. Plants absorb most water through their root system rather than their leaves, so the best way to provide humidity for your plants is through watering the soil.
Soil
Ceropegia bosseri does best in well-draining soil. A good soil will contain lots of organic matter such as coco coir as well as perlite or vermiculite to help with drainage. Adding a handful of perlite to regular store-bought potting soil should do the trick!
Fertilizer
Ceropegia bosseri should be repotted after it doubles in size or once a year, whichever comes first. Fresh potting soil has all the nutrients your plant needs, so as long as itâs refreshed yearly, you shouldnât need to use fertilizer. Remember, plants get their energy from sunlight, not fertilizer!
Dormancy
Itâs common for Ceropegia bosseri to go dormant in the wintertime and you may notice their growth slow down. Waterings should be spaced out more during this time.
Native Region
Ceropegia bosseri is native to Africa to Southern Asia and Australia.
