The Latin name of the Lantern Plant is Ceropegia woodii. However, its nickname is "String of Hearts," which you will understand as soon as you see the plant. Its leaves resemble small hearts along the strands of the plant. But where does the name Lantern Plant come from? This special hanging plant can bloom, and once it does, small flowers appear that look like lanterns. It is a very special, but above all, a very beautiful hanging plant.

Care
Ceropegia woodii is very easy to care for. It belongs to the succulent family, which means it has special roots to store water. This means you hardly need to water it. In spring and summer, you can mist it a little once a week; in winter, a spray every two to three weeks is sufficient. Be sure to water only when the soil is completely dry. The location of the Lantern Plant is also not complicated; it feels most comfortable in a spot with plenty of daylight. However, Ceropegia woodii also thrives well in the dark. Additionally, Ceropegia is non-toxic. Finally, the plant can grow strands over a meter long.
