A full pot of trailing hearts
Ceropegia woodii · also known as String of hearts, rosary vine, chain of hearts
Native to South Africa and southern Africa
A full pot of trailing stems lined with small, marbled, heart-shaped leaves. It's native to southern Africa and an easy indoor plant.
- A full 10cm pot of heart-shaped leaves on fine trailing stems.
- Looks lovely spilling from a shelf or hanging pot straight away.
- Easy care: bright, indirect light and water about once a week.
Where it thrives
The best spot in your home
