This could mean watering it once a week or so in Summer, and once every two weeks (or even less) in the Winter months. In our experience, it's perfectly happy and thrives by being well watered and then not watered again until the soil has or has almost, fully dried out.
This is a semi succulent plant so it will cope with sporadic watering. You'll get the best looking leaves and good amounts of growth from having it in a bright location with just the occasional ray of sunlight hitting the growing stems. However avoid gloomy, low light conditions and intense sun-drenched south-facing windows. It will put up with some lower light conditions and also some fairly bright spots. This is an adaptable houseplant when it comes to light levels. It's the rarer of the four available so you may need to search this one out from online sellers. They also have fairly limited blotches and variegation so can appear quite plain.Ĭeropegia woodii 'Mini Star' have narrow leaves and they're a much lighter green. Has a similar look shape wise but the leaves are wider and have a more apple than heart shape. This carries onto the back of the leaf where the purple hue deepens.Ĭeropegia woodii 'Silver Glory' (see first photo at the start of this article). It has the same mottled green and silvery grey on the leaf surface but just before the edges of the leaf, the green and grey disappear and are instead replaced with a slight purple hue. The "standard" and "variegated" being the most common.Ĭeropegia woodii 'variegata' (photo above) is the variegated type. TIP - There are only a handful of cultivars currently available. To make things more complicated the two look remarkably similar at first glance because the standard is also slightly variegated, so can be hard to tell apart. In fact, you're only likely to come across either the standard variety or the variegated type.
The varieties and cultivars of Ceropegia Woodii as a houseplant is limited to around four currently. The Variegated String of Hearts has the same care requirements but is harder to find
