    Are you talking about Ceropegia woodii?

    A good choice. The most popular of the species it seems.

    Yeah the plant came with it's trellis. I think it works really well.

    Let's be clear here. I have had that plant for about 20 years but that picture was taken when it was with me for 5 years, about 15 years ago. It has partially died off, through neglect and regrown, over the years.

    My plants have taken a terrible beating over these last 5 years but are now on the comeback trail.

    Here is my D. macrostachys, one of my faverites.

    Many of these plants go through a rest period and loose all the upper growth. Then they come back then they want.

    Waretop is that definitely D.elephantipes? The leaves look very pointy compared to my round ones.

    Maybe your plant is just more mature than mine. :)

    It's probably 25 years old. IDK, I think I have all of them. I will look.

    Kay, Thanks. They are addictive. That's what I use for an email address, fatplants. :idea:
