#5 Chain Of Hearts

Oh, be still my beating heart! Chain of hearts (Ceropegia woodii) is a gorgeous trailing plant that’s perfect for hanging pots or baskets. The ‘chains’ can reach 3-4m long and the green-red heart shaped leaves are just so sweet! For a beautiful display, consider hanging in a corner along with other trailing plants, like string of pearls or donkey’s tail.

HOW TO GROW

1

a pot at least 100mm wide (or larger, depending on your plant size) and position in a well-lit spot indoors.

2

Partially fill pot with quality potting mix, such as Yates ® Potting Mix with Dynamic Lifter ® .

3

Remove the plant from the container, gently tease the roots and cut away any circled or tangled roots.

4

Position in pot and backfill with potting mix, gently firming down. Water in well, keeping the water away from the leaves.

5

After the initial watering, allow the potting mix to almost completely dry out before watering again.

6

Feed occasionally during the growing season (usually mid spring to early autumn) with Yates ® Thrive ® Houseplant Liquid Plant Food. Apply at half strength to promote strong root development and healthy growth.

Growing Tips:

• Occasionally inspect the plant and remove dead stems from the base of the plant.

• Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust.

• Divide and re-pot every 2 years in spring. You can also use this time to propagate another plant using stem cuttings. This can be done by laying a length of stem on top of Yates® Seed Raising Mix and watering regularly to initiate root development.
