Ceropegia woodii ‘Silver Glory’
A highly sought-after cultivar of the beloved String of Hearts. What makes this selection special are its larger, thicker leaves that are almost entirely covered in shimmering silver coloration, giving the plant a luminous appearance unlike the standard form. Native to southern Africa, the species naturally grows as a trailing succulent vine that cascades gracefully from hanging baskets and shelves. As it matures, it may produce fascinating lantern-shaped flowers and develop small tubers along its stems, adding even more character to this unique collector’s plant. Its elegant trailing habit and metallic foliage make it a standout addition to any succulent or houseplant collection.
🌞 Light
Provide bright indirect light with several hours of gentle morning sun if possible. Higher light levels help maintain compact growth and vibrant silver coloration.
💧 Watering
Allow the soil to dry almost completely between waterings. Water thoroughly, then allow excess moisture to drain away. Overwatering is the most common cause of problems.
🕳️ Soil
Use a fast-draining cactus or succulent mix. Adding extra pumice, perlite, or coarse sand improves drainage and helps prevent root rot.
🧪 Fertilizing
Feed monthly during spring and summer with a diluted balanced fertilizer. Little to no fertilizer is needed during fall and winter.
🪴 Repotting
Repot every 2 to 3 years or when the plant outgrows its container. Handle vines gently, as the stems can be delicate.
🐾 Toxicity
Non Toxic
