Thrives Guaranteed or We Fix It

• Native to South Africa, this trailing succulent belongs to the milkweed family and thrives in rocky, well-draining environments
• Heart-shaped leaves display beautiful cream, pink and green variegation that intensifies in bright light conditions
• Produces small plantlets along its trailing stems that can be rooted while still attached to the parent plant
• Popular as a symbol of love and friendship due to its romantic heart-shaped foliage and easy propagation
• Can trail up to 2-3 metres long, making it perfect for creating dramatic hanging displays in bright indoor spaces

• Water every 1-2 weeks when top few centimetres of soil are dry - reduce frequency in cooler months
• Position in bright, indirect light away from harsh afternoon sun - variegation fades in low light conditions
• Use well-draining succulent potting mix combined with perlite or pumice for optimal drainage
• Feed monthly with diluted liquid fertiliser during spring and summer growing season
• Pinch growing tips to encourage bushier growth or allow to trail naturally for cascading effect
• Maintain indoor humidity around 40-50% - avoid placing near heating or cooling vents
• Propagate easily by placing stem segments with nodes in water or moist soil during warmer months

• Provide bright, indirect light near an east or north-facing window - avoid direct afternoon sun which can scorch the delicate variegated foliage
• Water deeply when top 2-3cm of soil feels dry, typically every 1-2 weeks depending on season and humidity levels
• Maintain moderate humidity around 40-50% - place on a pebble tray or group with other plants if your home is very dry
• Keep temperatures between 18-24°C year-round - protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes
• Reduce watering in winter when growth slows and increase during active growing season in spring and summer

• Overwatering causes root rot and yellowing leaves - ensure soil dries completely between waterings and check drainage holes are clear
• Mealybugs may appear as white cottony clusters on stems and leaves - treat with rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab or insecticidal soap
• Aphids can cluster on new growth causing leaf distortion - rinse off with water or apply neem oil spray
• Spider mites create fine webbing and stippled leaves in dry conditions - increase humidity and spray with water regularly
• Fungal issues develop in humid, poorly ventilated areas - improve air circulation and reduce watering frequency
