Selene, our String of Spades 'Mini Star' or Ceropegia Woodii 'Mini Star', is a new variation that you may or may not have come across. Selene is very similar in shape to the Spencer, our String of Spades, although her leaves are a touch smaller.
Native to South Africa, Swaziland, and Zimbabwe, Selene would 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 to watch her trail!
Selene, String of Spades 'Mini Star'
Selene prefers bright indirect light, without prolonged exposure to direct sun - a touch of morning sunlight wouldn’t go a miss.
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
