Introducing the variegated string of hearts, known as Ceropegia woodii variegata, which is a stunning trailing succulent variety of the Ceropegia genus that is extremely easy to grow indoors. 

The variegated string of hearts is known by various common names, including sweetheart vine, hearts entangled, the variegated string of hearts, the rosary vine, the chain of hearts plants, and a rosary plant.     


The variegated string of hearts is seriously one of the most unique and hardy vining succulents out there. 

The heart-shaped leaves with purple undersides are just gorgeous, and they grow on these tough, wire-like stems that trail so nicely. And get this - those vines can grow up to 12 feet long.

The hearts on a string are dark green with pink and silver variegation or creamy-white variegation, making them stand out even more.

This little variegated string of hearts plant also produces tiny bead-like tubers along its vine that give it the appearance of a rosary heart. This variegated version of the Ceropegia woodii is perfect for hanging baskets and brings an exotic touch to any space.

The variegated string of hearts flowers are spectacular tubular, small pink or purple that bloom from late winter to early spring.

If all of that wasn't enough to win you over, just picture how stunning those olive-green leaves with gray mottling and white variegation will look when they turn pink in the bright sun-how precious!

The variegated string of hearts propagation can be done through stem cuttings or division of the plant. It is important to ensure that the cuttings have at least one node and are placed in well-draining soil to encourage root growth.

When and How to Water Your Variegated Chain of Hearts Plant 

The variegated string of hearts is able to withstand long periods of drought by storing water in its fleshy leaves and stem, and it still looks fabulous.

From spring to fall, you can give your string of hearts a good soak when the soil mix becomes dry. And get this, in the winter months; you only need to water sparingly about once a month!  

Whenever you touch the soil, if it feels like a desert with no sign of moisture, or if those cute little leaves of the variegated string of hearts start to look wrinkled or shriveled up - that's when you know your strings of hearts are thirsty!

If you have this stunning trailing succulent in a container, make sure to water it more often than those planted in the ground.

So, it's important to monitor the soil moisture level, adjust the watering schedule as needed, and avoid overly wet soil.

Light Requirements - Where to Place Your Chain of Hearts Plant 

When grown indoors, place your variegated string of hearts in the sunniest place in your house. This string of hearts may benefit from shade in consistently hot climates. It is ideal to grow this succulent in a west- or a few feet away from a south-facing window. 

If you are growing it outdoors, your variegated string of hearts should be planted in bright, indirect sunlight and needs a minimum of 5-6 hours of bright light daily.

In bright light, the leaf will be more pronounced, with a white or light green variegation pattern that even turns pink. It can also tolerate low light, but the leaf will be more green and have less variegation. 

String plants have uniform spacing between leaves and flowers, while plants lacking this uniformity often result from maintenance errors like insufficient light or overwatering, causing blank spaces.

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

When it comes to choosing the right soil for your adorable variegated string of hearts plant, you need to be careful! You see, the amount of moisture in the soil can literally make or break your little growing hearts. That's why we at Planet Desert have got your back with our specialized succulent potting mix. This organic substrate has mycorrhizae which help grow a healthy root system. As an okay alternative, you can create your own potting mix by combining equal portions of perlite, coarse sand, and good natural potting soil.

The natural balanced fertilizers with NPK (5-10-5) are the best choice as they last longer and keep your soil alive by adding other beneficial compounds and microbes that encourage plant health and nutrient absorption. So, skip those harsh chemicals and give your variegated string of hearts plants some love with a good natural fertilizer! 

Hardiness Zones & More 

When growing indoors, the variegated string of hearts should ideally be kept between 65-75 degrees Fahrenheit to promote healthy growth. Hailing from South Africa, the variegated string of hearts is a tropical plant that is typically grown indoors. It is important to avoid placing the plant near drafty windows or heating vents, as extreme temperature fluctuations can stress the plant.

If grown outdoors, it grows best in USDA zone 11-12.  This string of hearts cannot handle frost, cold, or freezing temperatures, so make sure it doesn't get below 45 F in its environment. 

They prefer constant temperatures above 70 degrees Fahrenheit and can tolerate triple digits in the summer, so don't worry if your heart plant gets too hot.

Therefore, it is a relatively hardy and adaptable plant that can thrive best in a variety of indoor settings with proper care.

Might be the Goldilocks blanket
Color: 04 - Sage Green, Size: Throw (50" X 60"), Color: 04 - Sage Green, Size: Throw (50" X 60")
Everybody loves these blankets. Couch throw or super comforting blanket on top of bed covers. My wife selected the first. Now we own 4 or 5. Wife, son, couch, gifts to niece and father. Easy to wash; comes out new again. Doesn't feel cheap or low quality textile like. Feels great light-medium weight! Not too hot. Not too thin or light. Just might be the goldilocks blanket.

Great buy, soft, fluffy, great colors, warm, fun!
Color: Purple, Size: Queen(90"x90")
This is a very very soft queen blanket, just what I wanted. The dark purple color is what I wanted as well. As I put it on the bed the 1st time I noticed a lot of "fluff" in the air & on the sheets. So I washed it just to a)get the extra "fluff" off and b) to get the bubble effect more fluffy. It came vacuum packed and wasn't as fluffed up as I'd hoped. So, It washed beautifully and I put it in the dryer with 4 wool balls & scent drops I'd also ordered from Amazon. I used this instead of a softener sheet because I read that the wool balls make laundry softer, static free and smelling fresh & in the case of this typeblanket or throw, fluffier. The blanket came out of the dryer perfect! Much softer, much fluffier - you could really notice the bubbles - and there wasn't much lint in the lint catcher, but it was enough to stop it from shedding little fluffy bits! I have this blanket on my bed now. It's warm, lightweight, and the bubbles and color make me smile when I look at it. Very happy with purchase!

Small and so cute
This blanket is so cute and perfect for adding a cozy touch to any space! The color is a rich, warm brown that looks great with my other decor. It’s small, but that’s what makes it perfect as an accent piece—it looks amazing draped over a chair or folded on a shelf. The material feels soft and high-quality. It didn’t have any weird smell after opening it. I would say it should be used more for decoration than everyday use. It adds just the right amount of texture without being bulky or taking up too much space. Works perfect as a drape over side of bed, chair, or blanket ladder. For the price, I think it’s a great find. It’s stylish, simple, and really ties the room together. If you’re looking for an affordable way to elevate your decor, this is it!
