Ceropegia woodii variegated – 8cm

Hearts in pink, cream, and silver on thread-thin stems. Ceropegia woodii Variegated produces the same delicate, heart-shaped leaves and trailing habit as the green form, but with the addition of creamy-white and pink variegation that gives each leaf a softer, more colourful palette. New growth is often strongly pink, fading to cream and green as the leaves mature.

Origins
Ceropegia woodii is native to southern Africa, from South Africa to Zimbabwe, where it grows in rocky, semi-arid habitats, trailing from cliff faces and rocky outcrops. Its tuberous roots store water for dry periods.

Soil and Substrate
Our Desert Mix provides the sharp drainage this semi-succulent vine needs. Water when the substrate is dry. The tuber stores water, so err on the side of too dry. Bright, indirect light maintains the best pink and cream tones; the variegated sections are more sensitive to overwatering than the green.
