Ceropegia woodii 'Green Heart' is a captivating trailing succulent native to southern Africa. This particular cultivar boasts slightly larger, lush green leaves shaped like hearts, offering a denser, more vivid presentation than its variegated counterparts. It's beloved for its elegant cascading habit and minimal maintenance requirements, making it a favourite for shelves and hanging planters alike.
Distinctive Features
Heart-Shaped Leaves: Solid green foliage in a classic heart shape, fuller than the standard variety.
Graceful Trailing Habit: Long, wiry stems can cascade over a metre in ideal conditions, creating a curtain of foliage.
Tuberous Roots: Develops small tubers along the stems, an adaptation for water storage and propagation.
Care Tips
Light: Bright, indirect light is best; tolerates some morning sun but avoid harsh afternoon exposure.
Water: Allow the soil to dry out between waterings; less is more to prevent root rot.
Humidity: Adapts well to average indoor humidity; tolerates dry air with ease.
Media: Prefers a free-draining cactus or succulent mix with added perlite or coarse sand.
Temperature: Thrives in 18–26°C; protect from cold drafts and frost.
Fertiliser: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a diluted succulent fertiliser.
Repotting: Infrequent; repot only when roots become crowded or soil has broken down.
