General

The String of Hearts is a popular choice as a houseplant gift on special occasions like Valentine's day.

They can reach up to 12" long in their natural habit.

This ornamental vine is great for planting in hanging baskets or in pots on shelves or window sills.

It's lantern-shaped flowers are usually a pale magenta colour. They tend to bloom late summer and fall.

Sunlight

Your ceropegia will thrive in bright indirect sunlight . Too much direct sunlight can cause it's leaves to wither.

If the leaves are wider apart and lighter in color with less marbling, then your plant requires more sunlight. When the leaves are dark green with distinctive silver or light green markings, it indicates it is getting proper light.

Watering

In order to grow fast and remain healthy, use the Soak and Dry watering method. Only water your String of Hearts plant when most of the soil has dried out.

In summer, you may have to water your drought-tolerant plant weekly. Reduce the watering frequency in winter.

It is vital to ensure proper drainage, as overwatering or standing water can lead to root rot.

If your home is especially humid, you can water the houseplant vine less often.

Soil

Your String of hearts requires a well-draining soil mix like a succulent potting soil, but sandy soil is preferable.

Repot in an appropriate-sized pot with proper drain holes and water thoroughly. Use 3 part good potting soil and 1 part sharp sand. Or use a combination of 35% River sand + 15% cocopeat + 35% Organic manure/Vermicompost + 15% perlite

Fertilizer

Fertilize your String Of Hearts once a month with a half-diluted houseplant fertilizer during their active growth period (May - August). It typically doesn't require any fertilizing during winter as they go dormant.

A high-quality Organic fertilizer will help avoid a mineral salt build-up in the potting mix that can damage the plant's roots.
