Ceropegia occidentalis

A little-documented Ceropegia from the winter-rainfall west coast of South Africa and southern Namibia, recorded near sea level in the Namaqualand coastal belt. The climate is mild, foggy and dry, with a little rain in winter. Treat it as a winter-growing succulent: bright light, a gritty mix and water mainly from autumn to spring.

Where it grows wild

No species-specific habitat notes were found. The records lie in coastal succulent scrub of the Namaqualand coast, where low succulents grow among shrubs on sandy or rocky ground in strong, often hazy light.

Few records carry an elevation; the measured sites lie at 29 to 77 m.
