String of Hearts is an enchanting and popular trailing succulent, beloved for its delicate, heart-shaped leaves that dangle like a living necklace along thin, wire-like stems. The leaves are marbled with patterns of silver and green on top, with a lovely purple underside, creating a beautiful contrast. In summer, it may produce quirky, lantern-shaped purple-pink flowers. Its charming appearance and easy-going nature make it a perfect choice for hanging baskets, high shelves, or terrariums, where its vines can cascade gracefully.
Charming Trailing Hearts: Features cascading stems adorned with small, fleshy, heart-shaped leaves in a beautiful marbled pattern of silver, green, and purple.
Unique "Lantern" Flowers: Blooms with peculiar, tubular, pinkish-purple flowers that resemble little lanterns, parachutes, or pipes in the summer, adding to its whimsical appeal.
Perfect Hanging Basket Plant: Its vining, trailing habit is ideal for displaying in hanging planters or pots placed on high shelves, allowing its long stems (which can reach several feet) to beautifully spill over the edges.
Thrives on Neglect: A very drought-tolerant succulent that prefers bright, indirect light and infrequent watering (allow soil to dry completely between waterings). Overwatering is its main enemy.
Easy to Propagate: Readily propagated from stem cuttings or by planting the small, bead-like tubers (bulbils) that form along the stems.
