Ceropegia variegata
Chain of Hearts - Heart strings - Collar of hearts - Rosary Vine
Description
Ceropegia variegata, commonly called the 'string of hearts,' is a popular succulent vine native to southern Africa. This plant is beloved for its heart-shaped leaves, which are often mottled with silvery patterns. The slender stems of the string of hearts can cascade gracefully from hanging baskets or climb on trellises. The plant's flowers are small, and tubular with a unique shape, resembling small lanterns. Ceropegia variegata thrives in bright, indirect light and well-draining soil. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. Regular light watering and fertilizing during the growing season helps promote healthy growth.
