Variegated String of Hearts with first flower

Ceropegia woodii variegata is an Asclepiad, native to South Africa. A small succulent vine growing from tuberous base,  heart shaped paired leaves. The leaves are thick and colorful, marbled in pink, white, silvery gray and green.

The small tubers that form on the stems are to store water and can be used to start new plants.

Ceropegia woodii variegate is best in hanging baskets/pots , so stems may trail over the sides..

There is an earlier post showing the beauty of the foliage.
