Ceropegia woodii--String of Hearts
Type: House Plant
Comments: String of Hearts is a trailing plant that can be
several feet long. The leaves are heart shaped hence the
common name, String of Hearts. The plants grow best in
medium to sunny light exposure. Water when the soil feels
dry on top but less often when the plant isn't growing
actively. String of hearts is easily over-watered and
should be kept under-potted. A minimum winter temperature
of 60 degrees is required.
Propagation: Propagation methods are cuttings, rooted
with bottom heat, or the bulbs or seeds formed on the
vine.
