Nola, a String of Needles, Ceropegia Linearis, or Rosary Vine, is exactly what she's called on the tin - her trailing string-like stems are covered with needle-shaped foliage.
Nola is native to South Africa, Swaziland, and Zimbabwe, and will happily live outside even with the hot temperatures - in the UK she’s best left indoors! Her stems can grow very very long, so put her somewhere high and watch it trail!
Nola, String of Needles
Nola prefers bright indirect light, without prolonged exposure to direct sun - a touch of morning sunlight however would be welcomed.
If you’re not sure what level of light you have, check the shadows cast by your plant:
- Minimal shadow = lower light
- Half shadow = indirect light
- Full shadow = direct sun
