Unlike the classic silver-marbled form, ‘Luuk’ develops irregular splashes of fresh yellow-green and cream against a deeper green background, giving each leaf its own individual pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYoung stems can emerge with a soft pink tone before becoming greener as they mature, adding another layer of colour to this unusual cultivar. Its long, delicate vines make it perfect for shelves, high plant stands and hanging displays where the foliage can cascade freely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLight \u0026amp; Position\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive ‘Luuk’ plenty of bright, indirect light to maintain the strongest variegation and compact growth. Some gentle morning or late-afternoon sun can be beneficial, but avoid prolonged harsh midday sunlight, which may scorch the paler sections of the leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn lower light, growth may become more stretched and the foliage can lose some of its strongest colour contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWatering\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllow the compost to dry well between waterings, then water thoroughly and allow all excess water to drain away. Ceropegia stores water in its fleshy leaves and underground tubers, so it is far more tolerant of a little dryness than constantly wet compost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWater particularly sparingly during winter when growth slows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHumidity \u0026amp; Temperature\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHappy in normal household humidity and does not require misting.

A low-nitrogen feed used occasionally is sufficient; avoid overfeeding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTrailing Growth\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCeropegia woodii ‘Luuk’ has a naturally trailing habit and can develop impressively long vines over time. If the plant becomes too long or sparse, trim the stems to encourage fresh growth and use the cuttings for propagation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnusual variegated form of String of Hearts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreen foliage irregularly marked with yellow-green and cream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYoung stems can develop attractive pink colouring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery leaf has slightly different patterning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElegant trailing habit for shelves and hanging displays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrought-tolerant and relatively easy to care for\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA newer cultivar for collectors of unusual Ceropegia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePlant Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nNursery Pot Size: 14cm hanging pot\u003cbr\u003e\nGrowth Habit: Trailing\u003cbr\u003e\nHanger: Removable\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"grow urban","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58618369868157,"sku":null,"price":29.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/1193\/6720\/files\/IMG_4607.jpg?v=1788528999","url":"https:\/\/growurban.uk\/products\/ceropegia-woodii-luuk-hangpot","provider":"grow urban.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
