Ceropegia conrathii is quite a variable species, this particular clone is very resilient dare I say resistant to rot yet I have other clones that never seem to make it beyond a couple of years before they die.
I had also heard that woodii seems to set seed without the need for another clone or species to cross with. C. conrathii is fairly closely related so it wouldn't surprise me if it could too. What does surprise me is that in the 25 years I've owned this plant its been grown in Derbyshire, Cheshire, and Cambridgeshire and yet has never set a single seed pod. Yet a few weeks in California and almost every flower seems to be pollinated. I wonder if a suitable pollinator exists anywhere in the UK?
