Ceropegia Woodii Variegata (String of Hearts Variegata)

Actually, it is called Ceropegia Woodii, but because of its heart-shaped leaves it is called String of Hearts. It is not for nothing that it is one of the most sought-after houseplants, because it not only looks great, but is easy to care for and non-toxic to animals. The peculiarity of Ceropegia Woodii Variegata is the pink-white variegation. 

The plant grows up to four meters long! But if necessary, it can be easily shortened. It looks great when it simply hangs down from a cabinet or shelf. But also in our small hanging pots from Present Time the String of Hearts comes out great!

Location: Place the String of Hearts in a bright location if you want dense growth. It is also satisfied with much less, but then it grows a little longer.

Watering: It is important that you do not give it too much water. Due to tubers in the soil, which store water, the substrate can quietly dry up. We recommend watering the plant about once a week.

Propagation: You can propagate Ceropegia Woodii by cuttings, tubers or by seeds. The tubers form after some time on the shoots and can form new tendrils. To do this, they should simply be pressed into the soil of another pot - preferably with shoots. The substrate should then be kept moist, but not wet, to encourage rooting. Once the tuber is rooted and growing after a few weeks or months, it can be separated from the original plant.

Poisonousness: Ceropegia woodii is not poisonous.

A sign of good care is when the flowers appear. Then you are doing everything right!
