Ceropegia linearis subsp. Woodii

Putting some cuttings in here was such a great idea…or was it?! 🤔🤔🤔 #ceropegia #string-of-hearts #ceropegia-lineariswoodii

Ooh lots of roots!

Yup! And nodules too 😃 …but only a teeny hole at the top 😳 @joanboston

Oh no, good luck getting those out Jacqueline 🤨

😂 I managed Sarah, but let’s just say I won’t be using that bulb again 💥 🙄 @sieveheadsarah

Bulb method looks good- but I can see the hazards🤔😜

Bolt croppers we’re involved! What you can’t see is the thick plastic rim hidden under the milk bottle top… Doh! @sieveheadsarah @sharonhayden

Well done 😀🙌🏼

I have a propagation station for this purpose 😊

⬆️ 😂 @sieveheadsarah

Oh yes, now I remember, I was wracking my brains trying to think of a bulb (flower) incident 🤣😂

Oh sorry! Yes that would make more sense given it’s GardenTags 🙄😂 @sieveheadsarah

3 Nov 18 • Trying two different ways of propagating #ceropegiawoodii I’ve used the nodule method before but not the water method. Thanks to https://houseplantcentral.com/chain-of-hearts-how-to-propagate/ for the idea of using an old solar bulb 😍 #indoorplants #houseplant #propagation

Be interesting to see which works better 🤓👍🏼

🤔🤨🧐🤓

🤞🏼🤞🏼

🍀🍀🍀

30 Oct 18 • Like so many UK #houseplants this is a subtropical plant (native to Natal, South Africa). Someone on here asked me when it flowered...end of October it would seem 😉😂 #tropicaltuesday

Wow brilliant

Thanks Sandra 😀 @sanmarino

Hey Rachel! Just looked back and it was you who asked how often it flowered... Another for your burgeoning #houseplant collection? 🤔 @rachelbrooks

Oh how cool is that?! What a bonkers flower! And heart shaped leaves too! Ooh how easy is it? 🤔 don’t want to push my limitations! 🤣

Oh 😲definitely not the prettiest of flowers but a masterpiece of engineering 😆

Very easy. Thrives on neglect. I’ll try and propagate a bit for you. I’ve done it before...though can’t quite remember how I did it 🤔😂 @rachelbrooks

🤣😂 I think they’re really sweet 🙄😬 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Ooh thanks! 😘 well it should do well with me then! 😆 hahaha🙈 I thought maybe layering 🤔 but it does say by cuttings in the encyclopaedia 🌱

It forms small corm-like swellings and I think I propagated it from these 🤔🤓 @rachelbrooks

Oh! Maybe, for scienctific purposes of course 👩🏻‍🔬 you could try both! 🤔

That is really cool!😎💜

A somewhat unexpected addition...

Specially for Rachel & Katie. This was taken almost exactly 2 years ago. The seed pod then opened to reveal tiny seeds wrapped in wisps of cotton wool. @rachelbrooks @brightcolours

It's so unusual! How often does it flower Jacqueline?

#rosaryvine-seedpod #ceropegia

To be honest Rachel, I don't know. It often has flowers on it in the summer but it has only ever produced a seed pod like this once. @rachelbrooks @linfoster

Just had a trim as we keep walking into it #stringofhearts #houseplant #indoor

That is long! 😁

It's very happy!! #ceropegia #rosaryvine

I have a photo somewhere of the seed pod from last summer, which I will post when I can find it... @brightcolours @rachelbrooks

👍🏼

I’ve now realised that I don’t have any good photos of the leaves but if you scroll right you can see some other photos of it @mcmurraylou
