String of hearts is a trailing house plant with heart-shaped grey leaves with attractive mottling, and pinkish undersides. In summer it may bear pink, tubular flowers. String of hearts is a succulent plant and is native to South-Africa and Zimbabwe.
Water regularly in spring and summer, allowing the compost to completely dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in autumn and winter, and never let the plant sit in waterlogged soil, as this can cause the roots to rot.
String of hearts isn't a particularly hungry plant, but it's a good idea to fertilise pot-grown plants twice a year, in spring and summer.
