Introducing the variegated string of hearts, known as Ceropegia woodii variegata, which is a stunning trailing succulent variety of the Ceropegia genus that is extremely easy to grow indoors. 

The variegated string of hearts is known by various common names, including sweetheart vine, hearts entangled, the variegated string of hearts, the rosary vine, the chain of hearts plants, and a rosary plant.     


The variegated string of hearts is seriously one of the most unique and hardy vining succulents out there. 

The heart-shaped leaves with purple undersides are just gorgeous, and they grow on these tough, wire-like stems that trail so nicely. And get this - those vines can grow up to 12 feet long.

The hearts on a string are dark green with pink and silver variegation or creamy-white variegation, making them stand out even more.

This little variegated string of hearts plant also produces tiny bead-like tubers along its vine that give it the appearance of a rosary heart. This variegated version of the Ceropegia woodii is perfect for hanging baskets and brings an exotic touch to any space.

The variegated string of hearts flowers are spectacular tubular, small pink or purple that bloom from late winter to early spring.

If all of that wasn't enough to win you over, just picture how stunning those olive-green leaves with gray mottling and white variegation will look when they turn pink in the bright sun-how precious!

The variegated string of hearts propagation can be done through stem cuttings or division of the plant. It is important to ensure that the cuttings have at least one node and are placed in well-draining soil to encourage root growth.

When and How to Water Your Variegated Chain of Hearts Plant 

The variegated string of hearts is able to withstand long periods of drought by storing water in its fleshy leaves and stem, and it still looks fabulous.

From spring to fall, you can give your string of hearts a good soak when the soil mix becomes dry. And get this, in the winter months; you only need to water sparingly about once a month!  

Whenever you touch the soil, if it feels like a desert with no sign of moisture, or if those cute little leaves of the variegated string of hearts start to look wrinkled or shriveled up - that's when you know your strings of hearts are thirsty!

If you have this stunning trailing succulent in a container, make sure to water it more often than those planted in the ground.

So, it's important to monitor the soil moisture level, adjust the watering schedule as needed, and avoid overly wet soil.

Light Requirements - Where to Place Your Chain of Hearts Plant 

When grown indoors, place your variegated string of hearts in the sunniest place in your house. This string of hearts may benefit from shade in consistently hot climates. It is ideal to grow this succulent in a west- or a few feet away from a south-facing window. 

If you are growing it outdoors, your variegated string of hearts should be planted in bright, indirect sunlight and needs a minimum of 5-6 hours of bright light daily.

In bright light, the leaf will be more pronounced, with a white or light green variegation pattern that even turns pink. It can also tolerate low light, but the leaf will be more green and have less variegation. 

String plants have uniform spacing between leaves and flowers, while plants lacking this uniformity often result from maintenance errors like insufficient light or overwatering, causing blank spaces.

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

When it comes to choosing the right soil for your adorable variegated string of hearts plant, you need to be careful! You see, the amount of moisture in the soil can literally make or break your little growing hearts. That's why we at Planet Desert have got your back with our specialized succulent potting mix. This organic substrate has mycorrhizae which help grow a healthy root system. As an okay alternative, you can create your own potting mix by combining equal portions of perlite, coarse sand, and good natural potting soil.

The natural balanced fertilizers with NPK (5-10-5) are the best choice as they last longer and keep your soil alive by adding other beneficial compounds and microbes that encourage plant health and nutrient absorption. So, skip those harsh chemicals and give your variegated string of hearts plants some love with a good natural fertilizer! 

Hardiness Zones & More 

When growing indoors, the variegated string of hearts should ideally be kept between 65-75 degrees Fahrenheit to promote healthy growth. Hailing from South Africa, the variegated string of hearts is a tropical plant that is typically grown indoors. It is important to avoid placing the plant near drafty windows or heating vents, as extreme temperature fluctuations can stress the plant.

If grown outdoors, it grows best in USDA zone 11-12.  This string of hearts cannot handle frost, cold, or freezing temperatures, so make sure it doesn't get below 45 F in its environment. 

They prefer constant temperatures above 70 degrees Fahrenheit and can tolerate triple digits in the summer, so don't worry if your heart plant gets too hot.

Therefore, it is a relatively hardy and adaptable plant that can thrive best in a variety of indoor settings with proper care.

Terrific! Much easier to use than Kongs and my dog loves it.
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: Medium
I like these so much better than the original Kongs. The large opening makes it so much easier to put peanut butter or cream cheese into it. Plus much easier to clean out afterwards. My dog also likes to chew it and play with it throwing it in the air after he’s done eating the peanut butter. Very sturdy - he chews apart stuffed toys but his chewing hasn’t damaged this at all. I highly recommend this product!

Great for strong chewing dogs. Entertaining too!
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: Medium
My black lab can destroy the toughest of dog chew toys, but he's not destroyed this peanut. I fill it with peanut butter, yogurt, pumpkin or apple sauce and freeze it. It keeps him entertained for quite a while. When the filling is gone, he leaves it alone or carries it around begging for a filled one.

Super cute! If you have one dog it'll last a while. If you have more than one...buy two.
Flavor Name: Marshmallow & Peanut Butter, Size: Large
This is THE FAVORITE chew toy in our household. We have two grown labs and a 10 month old mutt and they all love this toy. They got a variety of chew toys at Christmas and this is the one that they steal from each other. That said, they've definitely managed to kill it. It's well worth the money and it's held up well to heavy chewers but four months later and we're going to have to buy a new one. It's now a stub. They managed to break off all the marshmallows about a week ago and the stick itself is more like a chunk now but we definitely got our money's worth.

Lasting 6 months in! Great smell.
Flavor Name: Marshmallow & Peanut Butter, Size: Large
This actually does smell like marshmallows which is definitely more pleasant than most dog chews!! It has held up to our power chewer. It’s a bit heavy for our smaller dog but he manages and it’s quite funny!! It’s a bit hard but that’s why it is holding up. Would buy again if this one ever wears out.

Great product
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: Medium
I have a very active, medium sized dog (heeler). I wish this product was just a little bigger but it is still a great product. I fill it with pureed meat baby food and freeze. A 2.5oz jar will fill this product about 2 times. This keeps my dog busy for a while. Its also great when she's outside on a hot day. I absolutely recommend this product and at such a great price ($6 when I purchased it) i may buy a few more so I'll always have a frozen one ready when needed.
