I haven't been online for quite a while (15 months).
It's mid winter here. Night time temperature between -3°C ~ 3°C.

Ceropegia are so weird! How do you care for them? Soil? Fertilizer? And how much sun can they handle? Can they climb? I linda wanna have some vining around and use them as shade.

Some Ceropegias are climber, e.g. C. ampliata, C. radicans, C. sandersonii, C. stapeliiformis, C. albisepta and etc.
Most Ceropegias prefer bright indirect light, so I don't think they're suitable as shade plant.
Others like C. dichotoma and C. dichotoma fusca, need full sun, but they're not climbers.

You can treat Ceropegias like most other succulent plants.
Most Ceropegias are quite easy to grow. Lots of people have C. woodii or C. linearis as houseplant.
