The remarkeble "Variegated Rosary Vine" with each fleshy heart shaped leaf bordered in creamy pink. Marketed as 'Lady Heart' in Asian nurseries. This is so extremely variegated as to be quite slow growing and demanding of quite specific cultural conditions: needs perfect drainage in a shallow container (orchid bark or pumice added to a soilless mix is perfect), with good air movement, and no exposure to chill. Sometimes there is a wait if you order a number of these at once when we have a crop getting ready. This is a very much sought after plant.
These are sent as pictured, in a 2 inch starter pot. Each pot can contain anywhere from a 1-3 strands per pot.
Due to the variegation level on these there is likely to be leaf drop or discoloration from shipping or during adjustment after arrival- this is completly normal!
Will not maintain the pink edges without proper bright morning like and indirect bright daytime light.

Some of you grow only indoors, some only in terrariums; many of you have hobby greenhouses; while a growing number of customers live in subtropical or tropical areas of the world. These brief codes are an attempt to suggest whether or not a particular plant will do well in your particular conditions.
If an entry has the cluster HP CGH, this means normal house plant culture will be successful if the plant is given a cool CGH moist location; however if the entry has the cluster CGH HP, you would interpret this to suggest that while Cool Greenhouse conditions are needed for total success with this plant, House Plant conditions will be adequate, while not ideal. If the cluster is HH CGH you would interpret this to mean that while in Zone 8 or below this will be winter hardy outdoor, further north it will need considerable mulch, a cold frame, or a Cool Greenhouse to thrive. And so on.
