Ceropegia collaricorona subsp. collaricorona (Ceropegia woodii, Ceropegia linearis woodii) ‘Variegata’ | Variegated String of Hearts
TheĀ Ceropegia genusĀ includes a variety of beautiful āStrings of Thingsā succulent-like plants, the most popular being String of Hearts, or Ceropegia woodii,Ā also commonly called Rosary Vine, Sweetheart Vine, Chain of Hearts, Hearts Entangled, Necklace Vine, and Lantern Flower. They are beautiful, trailing houseplants native to Africa, southern Asia, and Australia. The delicate, heart-shaped foliage and slender vines produce small, waxy, purple, fountain-like flowers when they are kept in bright light. An interesting fact to note about String of Hearts is that their roots swell to create tubers underneath the soil. These tubers store lots of water, as do the semi-succulent leaves that grow on the vines, which is why they are often classified as succulent-like plants.
There are a few interesting String of Heart varieties with unique coloring and leaf shapes. The āVariegataā being sold here, is an elegant, variegated form of the classic String of Hearts and is likely the most highly-sought of the bunch because not only are the leaves heart-shaped, but they have silver markings along with gorgeous pink and cream variegation. The purple hues of the stems add another beautiful element to this variety.
String of Hearts can be grown in almost any home and make and exceptional hanging plant while keeping a small footprint. They perfectly suit narrow spaces where larger hanging plants would swamp the area. The vines grow fast and can hang up to 10 ft! Ā Fairly resistant to pests and diseases and will live happily in the same pot for several years without a single complaint. Plus theyāre safe around pets as theyāre non-toxic.
Requires lots of light.
