My nephew bought a plant in a garden center it was not labeled and none
of the clerks working there was able to tell him neither the name nor to
some growing tips. I´m sure someone here on the forum can help me icon13.gif

Ceropegia woodii, very easy, treat like a cactus, lots sun not too much water, but it is very adaptable and can grow in lower light conditions

In addition to what Stephen said, it's wroth noting that the plant is easy to propagte by cuttings - Like all succulents, I find it best to break of a leaf with stalk, allow the wound to dry out for a day or two, then lie it on some sand or perlite which you keep barely moist.

It's useful to propagate new plants like this fairly regularly, as older plants sometimes get a bit straggly and tired-looking, so you can just pot up your cuttings and compost the old one.

Thank you jimothy for additional help, now I´m knowing the botanical name I googled a lot of useful growing tips biggrin2.gif
The plant is much easier I thought
