4” Variegated String Of Hearts

Variegated String of Hearts, also known as Ceropegia woodii variegata, is a stunning and unique trailing succulent that features distinctive variegated foliage. Here's a short description of Variegated String of Hearts:

• Leaves: The leaves of Variegated String of Hearts are small, heart-shaped, and succulent. What sets this variety apart is its beautiful variegation. The leaves display a mix of green and creamy-white colors, creating an eye-catching pattern. The variegation can vary in intensity, with some leaves having more prominent white markings than others, adding to its charm.
• Growth: Variegated String of Hearts has a trailing growth habit, with long, slender stems that cascade down gracefully. It's an excellent choice for hanging baskets, shelves, or trailing down from elevated surfaces. The stems may produce tubers along their length, which store water and nutrients.
• Size: This plant can grow to a considerable length, typically reaching several feet (around 2-3 meters) when allowed to trail freely. However, its growth can be controlled by regular pruning or adjusting the available space.
• Light: It thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. Place it near a window with filtered light or in a spot with moderate to bright indirect light indoors.
• Watering: Variegated String of Hearts prefers well-draining soil. Allow the top inch (2.5 centimeters) of the soil to dry out between waterings and then water thoroughly. Take care not to overwater, as it is susceptible to root rot. Adjust the watering frequency based on the environmental conditions and ensure the soil is never soggy.
• Humidity: It tolerates average indoor humidity levels but appreciates a slightly more humid environment. Misting the leaves occasionally or placing it near a humidifier can provide some extra moisture.
• Temperature: This plant prefers average to warm temperatures between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Protect it from cold drafts or temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix formulated for succulents or a mixture of cactus soil and perlite to ensure good drainage.
• Propagation: Variegated String of Hearts can be propagated through stem cuttings or by planting the tubers produced along the stems. Place the cuttings or tubers in well-draining soil and keep them slightly moist until roots or new growth emerge.

Variegated String of Hearts is a captivating and low-maintenance plant that adds a touch of elegance and visual interest to any indoor space. Its unique variegation and trailing habit make it a popular choice among succulent enthusiasts and plant collectors.
