    Ceropegia sandersonii is interesting, Alan! Are they very big? 

    See original post

     They grow to several metres, so you will need to wind them around a trellis and perhaps cut back some of the growth.

    Some of my favorite are
    sansevieria trifasciata A.K.A. mother in law's tongue (it gives out oxygen at night so good for bedrooms)

    I know that they are common enough, but I love my Schlumbergera (Christmas Cacti).

    There is an extraordinary range of beautiful colours and flower shapes - some of the more unusual named cultivars are well worth hunting down from specialist nurseries. 

    Epiphyllum anguliger is really unusual - have a look at it on www.houseofplants.co.uk

    You're sure to find plenty of inspiration for unusual house plants on this website. Their plants are rather pricey, but they offer good advice and information, so worth a look.

    Another of my favourite plants, also common, but easy to grow and with attractive foliage is Saxifraga stolonifera (Strawberry Saxifrage).

    Senecio rowleyanus is another good trailing houseplant.
