The Ceropegia Woodii 'String of Hearts' is a popular trailing succulent. She owes her nickname 'String of Hearts' to her delicate, heart shaped leaves that gracefully trail down on long, slender vines. The baby String of Hearts plant has a delicate silver grey-green foliage with a gorgeous pattern and green to purple undersides. In spring and summer, this cutie can even grow small vase-shaped purple flowers!
Our baby Ceropegia Woodii is native to Zimbabwe and South Africa, where she was originally discovered trailing from rocks. Fortunately, this adventurous hanging plant is not so demanding, so she will quickly feel at home in your living room as well.
Although she is pretty down-to-earth, the String of Hearts plant prefers to be placed on a shelf high up or in a hanging basket. This will give her enough space to trail down. If she gets the space, her vines can reach high lengths up to over 3 meters long!
The String of Hearts is not very demanding. She thrives best in a place where she can receive plenty of direct or indirect sunlight, but she is shade-tolerant. Lower light conditions will however result in paler leaves. If the usually dark leaves start fading, it's time to move her to a sunnier spot.
The Ceropegia Woodii String of Hearts has a succulent-like nature, so you should water her sparingly. Be careful not to overwater her - if there’s one thing she doesn’t like, it’s wet feet! Too much water can cause her roots to rot out. A small splash of water per week is all this low-maintenance plant needs. If you take good care of your baby Ceropegia Woodii, you will see that she grows quickly. The best way to make your Ceropegia Woodii baby grow into a healthy indoor plant is to make sure the plant is well rooted. To allow the String of Hearts to propagate quickly, it is best to let the vines rest on the potting soil. As the plant grows larger, she will let her strands fall down freely.
