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.

Look nice and were an easy setup.
Item Package Quantity: 2
Simple and do what they are supposed to do. I use them to add a bit of flare to my desktop setup for online meetings, etc. If I had to nitpick, I'd say cabling is always interesting to route to reduce desk clutter, but I am not going to remove a star for what pretty much has to be. They look nice too.

Good, but missing white (ww) hues hurt performance
Item Package Quantity: 2, Item Package Quantity: 2
I bought these lights just a little over a year ago, and overall I’m pleased with them. I bought them because standard strip lighting does not work well with the shape of my ultra flat TV, something I did not consider on purchasing the TV. The lighting effects that these can produce are really impressive, at times you can see what appears to be the individual LEDs and the effects are somewhat more granular or pixelated than other lights from GOVEE. The issue I have with these lights is that they are not able to produce cool, white and warm white, and they do not render colors like other bulbs from GOVEE. Colors on these lights tend to be brighter than every other light source I have from Govee, including their lightbulbs and their floor lamps. Although I knew about the white rendering, I did not realize how annoying it would be to see warm, white and cool, white rendered poorly on these TV lights. If you want to truly seamless and integrated looking product, I suggest you look elsewhere as these aren’t quite there. If you don’t care or are using these in a room where you don’t have any other light sources from Govee, then go for it — you’ll love them.

Excellent receiver next to the competition
Style: AVR-X2800H
Amazon has had some really good prices on the Amazon days so I bought a new receiver. Now I recently bought a AVR-S960H in 2022 which was excellent but I was needing another receiver. I originally reviewed the S960H comparing against an Onkyo back in 2022. I mistakenly stated the Onkyo was a TX-NR6100, which it was a TX-NR6050. Very similar with the NR6100 having THX and 10 more watts of power. This year I bought the Onkyo TX-NR6100 hoping it was better than the TX-NR6050 which it was in sound quality only, equaling the Denon AVR-S960H and Denon AVR-X2800H. However the Onkyo TX-NR6100 just doesn't compare with missing features, weird on-line manuals that have numerous inaccuracies, and weird, none standard Dolby decoding that is mentioned in the manuals. The biggest problem that I was hoping was corrected with a firmware update for the 2 years that passed with the TX-NR6050 was the incorrect speakers, playing the wrong dolby discrete channels. As I stated this is even mentioned in the manual as Onkyo thinks this is alright. I have a 7.1 speaker setup and listen to discrete 5.1 Dolby soundtracks of Concert Music Videos. I want to listen to the soundtrack discrete with no up mixing with a 5.1 speaker 'output'. The Onkyo's surround channel signals will only play out of the 'back' surround speakers leaving the surround speakers quiet. This is by design and acknowledged in the manual! This made the sound inferior and unacceptable to me. My Denon receivers play the surround channels correctly through the surround speakers. Then the above goes one step further in displaying the incorrect number of channels output in the on-screen display on your tv. It will say a 5.1 signal input to 7.1 speakers output. This is wrong and should say 5.1 signal input to 5.1 speakers output. Since the "back" speakers are playing, it somehow thinks that the output is 7.1 speakers when only 5.1 speakers are playing, even if it is the wrong speakers. Also the Onkyo has no HDR10+ for it's 3 inputs that aren't 8K compatible. Not good IMO. So with the quirks in the Onkyo TX-NR6100, I sent it back. I replaced it with a Denon AVR-X2800H. I could had replaced the Onkyo with a Denon AVR-S970H but I wanted the added room correction upgrade with the X2800 which is Audyssey MultiEQ XT, S970 has standard MultiEQ, no XT. Plus the X2800 in a 5.1 speaker setup will allow Speakers B to be assigned to the back surround speaker outputs or BIAMP if you have the need with your speakers. The S970 will not do that. The X2800 also has Zone 2 preamp outputs that the S970 does not. Also the X2800 has one year longer warranty than the S970. The X2800 also has 5 more watts/channel than the S970. At the time I bought during Amazon days, the X2800 was less than $200 more than the S970, so I bought the X2800. The X2800 steers the correct surround channels to the correct surround speakers unlike the Onkyo and sounds just as good if not better. I have more features and a long warranty with the Denon AVR-X2800H as well over the Onkyo. Also the Denon has HDMI 2.1 inputs for all 6 inputs and will play HDR10+ on all 6 HDMI inputs, that the Onkyo can not! I honestly have nothing to complain about the Denon. It does everything right and sounds great! It's also compatible with 8K60p(A) "UNCOMPRESSED" and 4K120p unlike some. I didn't look at the Yamaha RX-V6A/RX-A2A twins as they were not compatible with 8K60p(A) "UNCOMPRESSED" , just 8K60p(B) "COMPRESSED". They were the same price as the Denon AVR-S970H and AVR-X2800H models. That being Yamaha RX-V6A price about same as Denon AVR-S970H, and Yamaha RX-A2A about same as Denon AVR-X2800H. The Yamaha model compatible with 8K60p (A) "UNCOMPRESSED" is the more expensive RX-A4A but I seen no comparable pricing around what the Denon AVR-X2880H was selling at. Very similar to the Denon but more power with pre-amp outputs. I didn't need either for the hundreds more it was selling at. The Denon AVR-X2800H is the best bang for your buck 7.1 receiver right now IMO.

OUTSTANDING!!!
Style: AVR-X4800H, Style: AVR-X4800H
Alright folks. Grab a drink, sit down, and have a read. Because this is gonna be an eye full! This going to be an exhaustive, if not exhausting, full review of not only the Denon AVR-X4800H 9.4 receiver, but also all the speakers currently hooked up to it. Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF): Purchase this! You will decidedly not be disappointed. Allow me to explain... I recently upgraded from a Yamaha RX-V1900 receiver in a 7.1 configuration, to the current system of the Denon, in a 5.2.4 configuration. The former set consisted of the Yamaha receiver, a front pair of legacy Paradigm 3SE speakers (30 years old at publication), Paradigm 5.0 Cinema surround speakers, and a Paradigm 10" enclosed SE subwoofer. Big fan. It's now in my bedroom. My recent upgrade consists of: Denon AVR-X4800H, pair of Polk Audio (PA) Signature Elite ES60 towers (Front left and right), PA ES35 center channel, pair of PA ES20 surround speakers, pair of PA ES10 surround height speakers, pair of PA Reserve 900 front height speakers, a PA 12" HTS 12 subwoofer (bottom ported), and the aforementioned Paradigm 10" enclosed subwoofer. Crazy! Right?! Caveat: I am not an audiophile! But maybe I'm getting closer to one due to these purchases. I am not "brand" loyal. That is not to say that I've not had excellent experiences with prior brands. Big fan: of Pioneer and Yamaha receivers. Also had excellent experience with Paradigm speakers. I branched out this time, and it didn't disappoint. You know what you like best. Keep up with it! Or, try something new like I just did. RECEIVER: The Denon AVR-X4800H, is nothing short of exquisite. I had a bit of time on my hands while deployed overseas, and hours upon hours to research. It was a legitimate toss up between the AVR-3800H and the AVR-X4800H. Here's why. To be honest, there's not a heap of difference between them. The biggest being the 4800 pumps out 125 watts per 9 channels, whereas the 3800 puts out 105 watts. Yes, yes, I know that's not full RMS. Additional minor features are 3 trigger out ports, and it's made in Japan. I merely opted for more power, and glad that I did. That, and Amazon had this unit on mad sale - less than the MSRP of the 3800. So, why not? Pro tips: If you've gotten this far, you've already likely had several audio systems behind your belt, and more or less know the ropes when it comes to set up and so on. The set up wizard on this bad boy as easy AF. I personally recommend doing both the manual set up, and take accurate measurements from your optimum listening position (laser measurement tool is clutch here), AND doing the full Audyessy set up. Ultimately the Audysessy set up worked magnificently. Not only did it do a near perfect job calibrating every speaker, it also picked up on a couple of my set up mistakes (an out of phase speaker - which isn't hard considering the rats nest of wires to hook up, AND it discovered a lose wire connection). I made only the slightest tweaks to the Audyessy set up. The AVR has several audio processing options for both audio and visual listening options. Try them all out. You'll find out in short order what your preferences are. I am a particular fan of: Dolby Surround, Auro-3D, and Multi Channel options.The first two employ all your channels, the latter, everything but your subs - and you'd be surprised what sound you can achieve without your subs if you've the right speakers. Bluetooth: This system can both receive, and transmit, Bluetooth signal. Some comments on both. I employed a stand alone bluetooth receiver on my legacy AVR. Game changer. For this, it's absolutely fine to use. If you're familiar with receiving Bluetooth signal on your AVR, you'll know that the range is limited. Not terrible, but if you're sending signal from your phone from the bathroom or patios, you'll know that it can, and will, cut out until you're back in range. Just sayin'. Now, you can also transmit Bluetooth from the receiver, although not at the same time as receiving. You can transit up to 8 separate devices. This is where it can become potentially interesting. While I suspected the options I'm about to elaborate on, I did reach out to Denon for clarification on how and what I could transit to in terms on bluetooth capable devices. For what ever reason, the response was rather cagey, and I don't know why. So, check it out - you're already directly feeding what combination of speakers outputting from your AVR. Guess what! You can ALSO transit to a myriad of bluetooth capable speakers as well! 8, at minimum! Now, keep in mind, since your channel speakers are direct linked, your bluetooth receiving speakers will experience an ever so slight delay in reception. It can be annoying. You could of course set up your direct linked speakers on the same delay, and viola, match your bluetooth speakers. But here is where the transmitting bluetooth could REALLY count - MULTIROOM broadcasting! Why bother with the extra wires, when you can just as easily send signal to other rooms with bluetooth receiving speakers??? For example, I have 5 Alexas, the legacy AVR set up in 5.1, and another in the spare room with the same capability. So, having tested some of this theory, I've been able to broadcast sound to any bluetooth capable receiving speaker in the house. COOL!!! Right?! Wifi: I've never had the option of wifi on an AVR prior. Spoiler alert, another game changer. You can download, for free, some apps for this AVR. I suggest the Denon remote app, and also the HEOS app. You can perform basically every option with the remote app, as the actual remote. The remote is fine, but as usual, a rather unwieldy large wand. The remote app works great as well. As for HEOS, it's mostly great. Admittedly, the random option for your tunes, isn't exactly as random as you might prefer, That's ok, you can sub in what ever music you want, as you want, construct playlists, etc. If you subscribe to any music streaming music services you've that option as well. HDMI: The AVR supports 3 HDMI outputs, including eARC, and 7 in. At present I only have 2 inputs, my fire stick for streaming, and my Blu-ray. Output is direct to the TV. This does upscale up to 8k, to a capable monitor. I have a Samsung 85' behemoth TV. I don't personally notice an appreciable difference between the upscaling. But you might. Ok, ok, speaker set up. Finally. Polk Audio Signature Elite ES60 towers - front left and right. They. Are. Amazing. Truly. Way more bass capable than I expected. I can have my subs off, and barely notice the difference. Mine are the walnut wood tone, with the front grills off. I LOVE the contemporary look. Curved on the edges. Surprisingly deep, but not ridiculously so. 3 drivers and a tweeter. LOTS of sound. Bottom "power ported" design. Just gorgeous cabinetry. Center channel: Polk Audio Signature Elite ES35. This thing is crazy. It is probably the single greatest addition to the speaker combination. Not only does it fit perfectly beneath my television, looks amazing, but sounds absolutely incredible. Vocals and mid tones come through just brilliantly! Had I known just how profoundly amazing this speaker would have sounded, I'd have considered getting the biggest center channel I could afford. NO matter. It accomplishes everything I could possibly need, and then some. Front Height speakers: Polk Audio Reserve Series - R900. The single reason I opted to upgrade to the Reserve Series height speakers is simple. The Signature Elite height speakers are specifically made to rest atop the ES60 towers. Not that big of a deal. But. From my research it was expressly suggested to get your height speakers as far up to the ceiling as possible. The Signature Elite ES90s, being curved to the towers, can't be easily wall mounted. The R900s, can achieve both positions. So, have a look at my photos for the results. Zero complaints. Surround speakers: Polk Audio Signature Elite ES20s. I have these bad boys opposite each side of my couch, and central listening position. They could easily perform as your front channel speakers. Loads of bass, and clarity. They're essentially ES60 towers, but a third the size and volume. These things just ring next to my ears! I have heard sounds and tones from songs I've listened to for decades; but never heard before. Phenomenal! Surround height speakers: Polk Audio Signature Elite ES10s. I got these as gifts prior to purchasing the new AVR, and additional speakers. I originally had them set up as a mid room surround speaker pair. BAD idea! They seriously underperformed there. Like, bad. Useless really. Now, I have them set up atop corner photo stands. See pics. Now, I don't have them as high up as maybe they should be, BUT, they sound exactly as I was hoping. Very very good height sound. I bought rubber computer desk angled stands, reversed them they way they were meant to be mounted, so now the speakers are oriented downwards towards my dome piece. And voila again! A very happy accident, in the immortal words of Bob Ross. I'm not joking when I say this configuration worked even better than I had hoped. Subs!: Since I had the option, I chose to make it a left and right Sub configuration. Again, you've the option to wire up to 4 subs with the Denon AVR 4800! Insane. I chose a front left and right configuration because I share the rear wall with neighbors. I know, first world problems. Call me considerate. Anywho. I have the legacy 10" downward facing Paradigm SE sub on the right. For its small size, it can sing ridiculously loud, and deep. For the left sub I have the front facing Polk Audio HTS 12' (discontinued). I considered the actual Signature Elite ES12, but the HTS just so happened to aesthetically match the rest of the existing speakers, particularly in terms of the downward facing power port. Again, no complaints. The truth of the matter is this: Considering the wealth of orgasmic audio bliss achieved by this truly magnificent set up, I've barely put it through its paces. Don't get me wrong, I've spent hours hypnotized by the otherworldly sound this AVR and speakers produce. What's really cool, is even at low levels, you can still achieve the same incredible sound processing. I'm floored. A couple final thoughts: Cable management. DO IT!!! I know you've already spent hours upon hours, shopping, researching, unboxing, etc. Take the time to set up your audio system, right, and the first time. You'll kick yourself repeatedly if you don't. I spent less than $40 on rectangular speaker wire conduit, measured a dozen times, cut a couple few times, and mounted it along the walls, floors, and fireplace. Looks amazing, if I might say. With any luck, you'll never have to reaccomplish the task again until you move to the next pad. Also, do take the time to read through the massively long user AVR manual. I learned, a LOT! Know what your gear is capable of. There is more science built into this thing that the CERN collider. You'll be grateful that you did. Ok, time for a refill, yes? Thanks for taking the time to read through. Hope this helped!
