Current Varieties:
- String of Hearts - Classic variety with silver-green heart-shaped leaves and purple undersides
- Variegated String of Hearts - Rare variety featuring pink, cream, and green variegated hearts
Plant Characteristics:
String of Hearts produces delicate trailing stems that can grow several feet long, creating beautiful cascading displays perfect for hanging baskets or high shelves. The classic variety showcases small, succulent heart-shaped leaves in silvery-green with distinctive purple undersides and subtle marbled patterns. The variegated variety is highly prized for its stunning pink, cream, and green coloration that makes each tiny heart unique. Both varieties develop small tubers along their stems that can be used for propagation. As mature plants, they may produce small, tubular purple flowers that add another layer of charm. The thin, wiry stems are surprisingly strong and create graceful, romantic displays.
Care Instructions:
- Light: Bright, indirect light; variegated variety needs good light to maintain coloration
- Water: Water when soil is dry; very drought tolerant due to succulent nature
- Humidity: Low to moderate humidity (30-50%); thrives in average household conditions
- Temperature: Room temperature 65-80°F; can tolerate temperature fluctuations
- Soil: Well-draining cactus or succulent mix; good drainage essential
- Fertilizer: Light feeding 2-3 times during growing season with diluted fertilizer
- Propagation: Extremely easy to propagate from stem cuttings or tubers
Special Notes:
These plants are incredibly fast-growing and rewarding, often producing several feet of trailing growth in a single season. The variegated variety is significantly rarer and more coveted among collectors. Both varieties can be "trained" to climb up supports or allowed to trail naturally. The small tubers that develop along the stems are completely normal and aid in propagation.
Perfect for hanging displays, trailing plant enthusiasts, and anyone seeking romantic, whimsical additions to their collection. Safe around pets and children.
