Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Is this Ceropegia woodii?, 1 by Bhavana34

yes it is - it's the greener, more arrow shaped version, there are a few types or "clones", the one more commonly seen is the grayish green heart shaped leaf. They are both probably just labeled cerpegia woodii or "rosary vine" or "string of hearts" I love them, I have 4, and there is also a variegated one, with lots of white in it, that I finally found at a garden center not too far from me, I plan on getting it real soo.... I find that the one you have pictured is less hardy than the heart shaped, is more touchy about over or underwatering, and less loving of too much sun.... The ceropegia family is pretty diverse, there are so many types, some of them just bare vines with flowers, kind of otherworldly looking, and the flowers are weird!

I have one that hangs all the way to the floor from a 7 foot high shelf, in this picture you can see the bottom of it.....I am constantly trimming it at floor level, cause it keeps growing!
