Hanging String Of Hearts

String of hearts (Ceropegia woodii) is a trailing house plant with heart-shaped grey leaves with attractive mottling, and pinkish undersides. In summer it may bear pink, tubular flowers. String of hearts is a succulent plant and is native to South-Africa and Zimbabwe

 Grow string of hearts in bright indirect light, out of direct sunshine. Water regularly in spring and summer, allowing the soil to completely dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in winter, and never let the plant sit in water as the roots can rot and kill the plant. Fertilise with house plant fertiliser once or twice a year, during the growing season.
