Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Ceropegia woodii 'Variegata' is known as the variegated string of hearts or VSOH for avid collectors who seek this rare succulent vining houseplant. The fleshy, heart-shaped leaves are bluish with silvery veins and variably mottled with white and flushed with pink, especially bold on new growth.

Pink/white/yellow variegated heart shaped leaves with white veining. Water fairly often while letting the soil dry out slightly. Ideally grown with lots of morning sun and afternoon shade. Will produce "balls" that you can be plucked off and produce new plants.

A must-have for all plant lovers! Ceropegia woodii 'Variegata', commonly known as Variegated String of Hearts, is a lovely trailing succulent plant with gray-green, heart-shaped leaves mottled with silvery-white veining and variegation. Truly a wonderful houseplant! The leaves are carried on long, reddish-brown vines, best seen cascading down from a hanging basket or container. Provide a well-drained soil away from reflected heat. Ceropegia woodii is especially happy sitting on your windowsill as a houseplant. Protect from frost!
