Common Name(s): Variegated String of Hearts, Variegated Rosary Vine, Pink-Edge Chain of Hearts
Origin: Native to South Africa and Eswatini; this variegated form is a cultivated favorite.
Description:
The Variegated String of Hearts enchants with its cascading vines adorned with delicate, heart-shaped leaves. Each leaf is a watercolor masterpiece—soft green centers blend into creamy-white variegation, edged with blushes of pink when kissed by bright light. A fast-growing trailing succulent, its slender stems can stretch over 1.5 meters long, creating a living curtain of hearts perfect for hanging baskets, high shelves, or macramé planters. In summer, it may surprise you with quirky, lantern-shaped purple flowers—a whimsical bonus to its fairy-tale charm. Rare, resilient, and effortlessly romantic, it’s a must-have for plant collectors and bohemian interiors.
Care:
Light: Loves bright, indirect light (morning sun enhances pink edges). Avoid harsh midday rays.
Water: Water only when the soil is completely dry. Drought-tolerant—overwatering causes root rot.
Soil: Thrives in a well-draining succulent mix with perlite or pumice.
Temp: Prefers 15–27°C; protect from temperatures below 10°C.
Pruning: Trim leggy vines to encourage bushier growth.
Pet Friendly: 
Non-toxic to pets – Safe for cats and dogs, though its trailing vines may tempt playful nibblers.
