String of Spades Variegated, scientifically known as Ceropegia woodii 'Heartless' Variegata, offers a captivating twist on the classic String of Hearts. Unlike its cousin with heart-shaped leaves, the String of Spades Variegated features leaves shaped like spades, adding a unique aesthetic to this popular trailing plant. The leaves are deep green with stunning cream variegation on the edge that highlights their spade-like shape. This variegation not only enhances their beauty but also makes each leaf a miniature work of art. Perfect for hanging baskets or as a high shelf adornment, the String of Spades Variegated creates a striking visual as its slender vines cascade gracefully downwards, making it an ideal choice for adding greenery to vertical spaces.

Pro tips

String of Spades Variegated store water in their leaves, so a good indicator to watch for is the leaves beginning to soften and look a little wilted and deflated. If there is less marbling on the leaves, and the gaps between the leaves on the stems are wide, this is often an indicator that the plant is receiving lower light. If you want the growth to be more dense, where the leaves are closer together, move your plant to a spot where it will receive brighter light.

Care Guide

How to take care of String of Spades Variegated

Sun: Indirect

String of Spades Variegated should not be in a position to see the sun directly, although early morning or late evening sun is fine. Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is best and most homes are comprised primarily of indirect sunlight. The best spot for them is where they do not see the sun during the majority of the day but still get bright, indirect light.

Light: Bright

String of Spades Variegated will do best in bright light. A nice bright place inside your home would be on the window sill or a stool that is right next to a window, either with or without blinds, depending on if the plant can handle sun. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

Water: When fully dry

String of Spades Variegated likes the soil to be completely dry before the next watering. This can take up to 4 weeks in an average home environment but it will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions. For them, it's always safer to underwater or water when you see signs of lack of water (i.e. wrinkly or soft leaves). Water a little more often in the warmer months.

Humidity: Low

Their humidity requirement is low, so do not mist String of Spades Variegated or put them in a terrarium.

Pet Friendly

You can feel comfortable having String of Spades Variegated around your home in the potential case where your pet feels like nibbling on it. However, we typically recommend keeping your pets from eating any of your houseplants.

Plant Story

Introducing the String of Spades Variegated, a charming and visually captivating houseplant that adds an element of whimsy and delicate beauty to any indoor setting. Known for its unique spade-shaped, variegated leaves, this plant is a delightful addition to the world of trailing succulents, symbolizing love, care, and enchantment found in the natural world.

The String of Spades Variegated features slender, cascading stems adorned with small, spade-like leaves. These leaves are a stunning display of creamy white and green variegation, with the patterns varying from leaf to leaf, making each one a tiny work of art. The variegation enhances the plant’s aesthetic appeal and highlights the beauty that lies in diversity and uniqueness.

To care for your String of Spades Variegated, provide it with bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light may reduce the vibrancy of its variegation. This plant’s preference for indirect light serves as a reminder of the importance of finding just the right environment to thrive—one that illuminates without overwhelming.

Watering should be moderate. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, and then water thoroughly. Overwatering can lead to root rot, especially in cooler months, so ensuring proper drainage is crucial. This care routine teaches us the value of balance and understanding—providing what is necessary without going to extremes.

The String of Spades Variegated is perfect for hanging baskets or as a trailing plant on shelves, where its vines can drape gracefully over the edges. As it grows, it continues to spread its spade-like foliage, creating a curtain of green and white that can soften any space and bring a touch of nature’s serenity indoors.
