Description
Rosary Vine (Ceropegia woodii). This plant is also known as Hearts entangled, or String of hearts….. Cool plant, I like them a lot.The Rosary plant makes an excellent house plant due to it’s durability. It can withstand neglect, dry air, or drought, and bounce back with a single watering. (not to say that you should neglect it…) The vines of the Rosary plant are like thin wires with marbled, heart shaped leaves. They will reach two to four feet in length, so the plant should be hung or set on a pedestal where it will receive bright light for most of the day. (Full sun is ok, if some protection is provided during the hottest part of the day). The Rosary Vine prefer summer temperatures around 70-75 degrees, but during the winter it should be kept in a cooler room if possible (60-65 degrees). This plant is somewhat succulent, so be careful to never overwater, or allow it to set in water. Water thoroughly, and then allow the soil to completely dry out before watering again. During the active growing period of spring and summer, the Rosary plant should be fed monthly with an all purpose liquid houseplant food diluted to half strength. Use a porous potting soil with coarse sand added when you repot this vine in early spring, making sure to provide adequate drainage.

All plants arrived safe and sound. Seller packaged them up nice and secure. They even added in a heat pack without purchasing!

Fast shipment – I received in just a matter of days. Excellent packaging! My fig tree arrived in perfect condition and exactly as described – very healthy – absolutely no damage. Very happy with the item I ordered and the shipment.
For anyone who orders live plants – make sure that upon delivery you immediately open the box and remove the plants. I removed the packaging holding the soil in the container, watered my plant and then placed on my sunny kitchen window sill to condition for a week or so before moving outside. I will re-pot in a month or two (when I begin to see roots coming out of the pot the fig was shipped in). I will be ordering from Hirt’s again in the future.

Working on a memorial garden with mostly hosta plants. Saw these and thought different. Received plants quickly and was surprised at the nice size for the price. Plants are very healthy. Keeping in house until ready to plant in WNY state. These will be perfect for location. Didn’t want a solid green…deer prefer those. Very happy with purchase, service and the quality! Excellent!!!
