With its distinct heart-shaped fleshy leaves and an attractive marbled pattern, this unique and gorgeous trailing succulent plant is sure to steal anyone?s heart.

General

The Variegated 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.

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

Sunlight

Your Variegated String of Hearts will thrive in bright indirect sunlight. The variegated variety prefers more bright sunlight as compared to non-variegated ones. Although, too much sunlight can cause its delicate leaves to wither.

If the leaves are wider apart and lighter in colour 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, only water you Variegated 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 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 Variegated String of Pearls Plant, like any succulent, requires well-draining soil containing a fair amount of perlite and sand. Your Plant needs succulent potting soil, but sandy soil is preferable.

For Repotting, use a combination of 3 part good potting soil and 1 part sharp sand. Or you could also use 35% River sand + 15% Cocopeat + 35% Organic manure/Vermicompost + 15% perlite.

Fertilizer

Fertilize your Variegated 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.

Toxicity

Your Variegated String of Hearts is non-toxic and suitable for spaces with pets and children.

Additional Care

Rotate your plant periodically to ensure even growth on all sides

Dust the leaves often so your plant can photosynthesize efficiently.

The main issues you may face is either not enough sunlight or too much water, especially during winter.

Troubleshooting
