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.

Sturdy and Functional
Color: White, Size: 4 Panel Basic
I got this to replace a poor quality divider that I tried first, and this thing is the best! It is easily folded, stands sturdily, easy to assemble, and the fabric looks great. Very very happy with the quality for the price.

Arrived damaged
Color: Black, Size: 4 Panel Basic
Unfortunately, very cheaply made. It arrived with one of the connecting tubes cracked horizontally. Possibly due to bad welding. It is quite a headache to assemble. It was delivered on time but returned for a refund.

Not a great experience but a fine product
Color: Black, Size: 4 Panel Basic
not enough screws were included to make the wall. I was able to locate more screws to finish building-so I didn’t have to return the product- but it was a pain and I got lucky finding the pieces I needed but it could’ve been a fail and a returned product

Useful, simple room divider
Color: White, Size: 4 Panel Basic
All the pieces were accounted for, and some even had extra pieces, maybe just in case they need changing. It was a bit like putting together a piece of IKEA furniture, though I went slower than usual so as not to make any mistakes. It wasn’t too hard to put together myself, and helps give my studio apt a feeling of space and privacy for my bed. I only wish it had a lovely Japanese design on it, but it does amazingly seem to match the wall color.

Multi purpose divider
Color: White, Size: 4 Panel Basic
I am excited this divider is being used to block off a portion of the dining room where I stored extra supplies. It looks nice!
