Care tips for string of pillows plant

String of Pillows, Plectranthus prostrotus (aka Pillow Plant, Tangled Hearts, Swedish Ivy) I never heard of this plant before. Here’s a little about it. The photos can be found at https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=137954981366971&id=100273055135164&set=a.106093951219741&source=48&refid=13&__tn__=%2B%3D#_=_ This is a shade loving succulent that can’t tolerate direct light, especially if you want good color and lushness. ………. It propagates through stem cuttings. Flowers are small and white with a hint of purple. ……….It’s hardy outdoors in zones 7b-10 or as low as 5F (-15C). It’s frost tender but this won’t affect flowering and damage can be pruned at the end of winter and will grow quickly After 1 year the stems grow woodier and they’ll be more frost resistant……….It’s from South Africa. #StringLoversTogether #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #
