The String of Hearts (Ceropegia woodii) is a trailing succulent-like plant native to South Africa. The delicate heart-shaped foliage and slender vines can reach up to 12' long in its natural environment, and has earned this plant many nicknames, including Rosary Vine and Sweetheart Vine.
As a succulent, these plants like to be watered sparingly, especially in the wintertime. Allow the soil to dry out (almost) and then water thoroughly.
The chain of hearts plant appreciates bright, indirect sunlight, but it can do well in a low light setting.
During the growing season (spring to midsummer) use a balanced fertilizer for houseplants. Follow packaging instructions. Stop fertilizing in midsummer and allow the plant to wind down for its semi-dormant period during the autumn and winter.
This is a plant that enjoys 40-50% humidity and thrives between 18 and 24 Celcius, so is well-suited to most UK homes.
Ceropegia woodii is non-toxic, but don’t get it confused with the “rosary pea”, which is thought to be the most poisonous plant in existence. Ceropegia woodii is ideal as a small hanging basket plant with long trailing vine and stems with small, attractive variegated heart-shaped leaves.
