Ceropegia linearis ‘Luuk’ is a rare and elegant trailing succulent known for its long, slender leaves and graceful cascading vines. Unlike the classic String of Hearts, ‘Luuk’ has narrow, linear foliage with a soft green sheen, giving it a refined, minimalist look. Fast-growing, easy-care, and beautifully sculptural, it’s a perfect plant for hanging baskets and modern interiors.

Care Guide

Care Guide:

Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Tolerates some morning sun but avoid harsh midday rays.

Ideal Room: Living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, bright offices, or hanging near sunny windows

Feeding: Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a diluted succulent fertiliser.

Humidity: Thrives in normal household humidity; prefers drier air over high humidity.

Ideal Temperature: 18–27°C; avoid temperatures below 12°C.

Watering: Allow at least 70–90% of the soil to dry before watering. Water sparingly in winter. Overwatering is the most common issue.

Pet/Child Safe: Generally considered non-toxic (genus level), but ingestion may still cause mild stomach upset.

Propagation: Very easy—propagate from node cuttings or tubers placed on moist soil or in water

Eventual Height and Spread: Vines can trail 1–2 metres; compact root system suited to smaller pots

Growth Rate: Fast in warm, bright conditions

Pests and Treatment: Occasionally attracts mealybugs or aphids; treat with neem oil or a plant-safe insecticide

Repotting: Every 1–2 years; prefers snug pots but benefits from fresh soil

Pruning: Trim vines to encourage fullness; use cuttings for propagation

Air Purification: Mild; valued mainly for its elegant trailing display

Folklore: Trailing Ceropegia plants are often associated with connection and continuity, symbolising bonds that grow stronger over time
