Christine de Beer - effortless floral craftsman
Ceropegia woodii
The trailing vine is an evergreen succulent that can grow up to 4 meters in length. It has beautiful heart shaped leaves spaced out to look like a string of beads.

Common name
Origin
Varieties
New varieties have been selected but mostly for their beauty as houseplants rather than for the cut flower industry.

Scent
Uses
The leaves look fantastic in detailed work. Long trailing stems add movement and can also be used to bind stems.
Conditioning
Most designers grow the plants and cut the long strings as needed. Water the plant only when dry and do not allow the plant to stand in water. Keep the plant in a warm area (above 15’C) and in partial shade.
