Succulent 'String of Hearts'

String of Hearts is one of the most romantic and sought-after trailing plants in any collection. Its long, delicate vines are strung with tiny heart-shaped leaves in deep green with silvery marbling on top and purple-pink undersides, trailing downward in a cascade that looks beautiful from a shelf, hanging planter, or macramé holder. It grows readily, produces small tuberous beads along its vines, and blooms with unusual tubular pink flowers when happy.

Good for beginners? Yes. String of Hearts is a semi-succulent and stores water in its leaves, making it forgiving of missed waterings. It is one of the most rewarding trailing plants for beginners.

Safe for cats and dogs? String of Hearts is considered non-toxic to pets.

Light needs: Bright indirect light to some direct morning sun produces the best color and fastest growth. Insufficient light causes the vines to become sparse and the leaves to lose their silver markings. An east-facing window is ideal.

Care at a glance: Water when the soil is fully dry. As a semi-succulent it prefers underwatering to overwatering. Feed monthly in spring and summer. The vines can grow several feet long — let them trail freely for the most dramatic effect.
