Ceropegia fusca, commonly known as Canary Island Ceropegia, is a perennial succulent native to arid and semi-arid regions of the Canary Islands. It is well-adapted to its native volcanic soils and is often found in rocky areas and cliffs, where it can withstand the harsh, dry conditions. This plant typically forms erect, woody stems that can reach up to 1.5 meters in height. The leaves are deciduous, arranged in opposite pairs, and each leaf is narrow and about 5 cm long. Ceropegia fusca is notable for its unusual flowers, which are produced in clusters of two to five in the leaf axils. The flowers are tubular, reddish-brown, and have five narrow lobes that are joined at the tip, creating a striking appearance. The flowering season extends from spring to summer, and the flowers are particularly adapted for pollination by flies. The fruit consists of a pair of large capsules, each up to 10 cm long.

Canary Island Ceropegia is valued for its unique flowers and architectural form, making it a popular choice for dry and drought-tolerant gardens, as well as for rockeries and succulent collections. It is also suitable for container cultivation. In cultivation, it thrives in full sun or part shade, requiring low to medium amounts of water and well-drained soils. While it is generally easy to maintain, it can be susceptible to root rot if overwatered or if the soil does not drain sufficiently. It is not known to be invasive when grown outside its native range, but as with all non-native plants, care should be taken to prevent unintended spread.CC BY-SA 4.0
