PlantFiles: Rosary Vine, String of Hearts
Ceropegia woodii

Irecieved this plant as a gift, still working with it. I can say one thing, it grows kinda slowly. I love it nonetheless its a great looking plant. I am excited to see it in a few years i read it grows thick and can grow many feet long.

I have found that stem cuttings are a good source of propagation.

This is a straggly climber best in a hanging basket.The flowers, while smalll, are of interest, and also the plant is a caudiciform, meaning it has a swollen stem or root system which it uses to store water. These can get quite large after a few years.

One of the easiest plants to transplant. All I did was place it on top of the soil and a couple of days later it had rooted. Also called rosary vine.

My grand-grandma planted these little tubercules 55 years ago on a vase with organic soil and put it on shade. It´s still there, growing and growing with those silver, dark spotted, heart shaped leaves hanging from a thin, pendant stem.
