This page covers what makes 'Silver Glory' string of hearts different. For light, water, soil, pests, and the rest, read the string of hearts care guide.
What it is
‘Silver Glory’ is an extra-silver string of hearts. Select-A-Plant, quoting Phoenix Perennials, describes the leaves as mottled gray-green with a high share of silver, and more apple- or kidney-shaped than heart-shaped. It has the same burgundy stems and thick, semi-succulent leaves as other forms.
How to tell it apart
| Plant | Leaves | The tell |
|---|---|---|
| ‘Silver Glory’ | Round, almost all silver | Silver covers most of the leaf |
| String of hearts | Heart-shaped, dark green with silver marbling | More green, clear heart shape |
| Variegated string of hearts | Cream and pink edges | Pink, not silver |
Care differences
Select-A-Plant notes it likes bright light but not long hours of direct sun. Let the soil get close to dry before watering.
Grow it from a cutting
Lay a strand on moist soil and pin it down. Roots grow from the nodes in two to three weeks.
Buying it
‘Silver Glory’ is a collector’s string of hearts, sold at plant shops and online. Look for leaves that are silver all over, not just marbled.
