Can any one please suggest any creeping plants that would thrive in a hanging bucket in a conservatory roof?

Thank you. I am not familiar with this plant. I have tried to look it up but with no luck. Is it known as anything else?
Ceropegia sandersonii, the Parachute plant. Often trained up a trellis but can also be left to trail. The flowers are amazing, and are produced for most of the year. It is succulent so it will not object to the compost being dry for a while.
Thank you both. Are these best grown from seeds or already established plants? Sorry for the ignorance.
Ceropegia are best obtained as established plants. They are likely to come with some sort of trellis which you should be able to remove with a little care.
