Grow these 6 climbing flowering vines in summer, and they will cover the wall in 1 month, saving you even the curtains
String of Coins
String of Coins, as the name suggests, looks like strings of threaded copper coins, and also resembles heart-shaped buttons, so it is also called Button Vine or Million Hearts.
Care Tips
1. Soil and Water
Soil: String of Coins can grow in almost any soil, but it fears waterlogging, so the soil must have good drainage.
Water: It is highly drought-tolerant, so you can wait until the potting soil is completely dry before watering. When the air is too dry, spray water on the leaves to increase humidity.
2. Fertilizing
String of Coins has little demand for fertilizer; applying a dilute liquid fertilizer once a month is enough. Be careful not to make the concentration too high.
3. Light
For daily care, just place it indoors in bright light; near the eaves or windowsill is even better. In spring and autumn, you can extend the light exposure time. In summer, when the light is strong, you can block it with a curtain.
4. Choosing a Container
For plants like String of Coins, it is best to pair them with a hanging flowerpot. Fellow gardeners can choose the material and size according to their own preferences.
Ivy
Ivy has very attractive leaf shapes and stays evergreen all year round, symbolizing longevity and eternal youth~.
Care Tips
1. Soil and Water
Soil: Ivy has low soil requirements; as long as it is not alkaline soil, ordinary loose soil will do.
Water: If you want a full pot, it is best to keep the potting soil moist. Insufficient water can easily cause leaf drop.
2. Fertilizing
Ivy likes fertilizer. During the growing season, apply diluted liquid fertilizer once every two to three weeks. For established potted plants, appropriately reduce fertilizing, and stop fertilizing in winter.
3. Light
Ivy likes light, but avoid direct strong light. During care, try to place it in a bright living room with indirect light indoors.
Burro's Tail
Burro's Tail has a faint pink sheen on its surface that gradually turns to tender green, clustered together in strings like jade, lustrous and lovely. It is a succulent plant very suitable for hanging baskets.
Care Tips
1. Soil and Water
Burro's Tail is drought-tolerant, and its roots should be kept dry, so it likes well-draining soil. You can mix peat soil and granular soil at 1:1, and water after the medium dries out.
2. Fertilizing
Burro's Tail does not like heavy fertilizer. Usually, applying a light liquid potassium fertilizer and phosphorus fertilizer once a month is enough.
3. Light
Burro's Tail loves sunlight very much. Apart from the strong light of summer, it can generally grow very well when placed in a ventilated spot on the balcony. If there is insufficient light, Burro's Tail will become leggy.
String of Pearls
String of Pearls has a very delicate and elegant appearance, hanging down like a curtain in strings of plump, emerald-green "pearls," round and lovely. Huahua really likes it~
Care Tips
1. Soil and Water
Soil: Soft, fertile soil is more suitable for the growth of String of Pearls. Fellow gardeners can use tile pieces at the bottom, or mix coarse sand and stones into the soil to increase breathability.
Water: String of Pearls is drought-tolerant and has little demand for water. Never water frequently in summer; better dry than wet.
2. Fertilizing
String of Pearls does not need frequent fertilizing in summer and winter. In spring and autumn, you can apply additional fertilizer several times. If you want the pearls to be plump and round, you can often spray a little monopotassium phosphate on the leaf surface.
3. Light
String of Pearls can be placed on the windowsill with appropriate light. Never expose it to blazing sun to avoid sunscald. In summer, shade it during care.
Chenille Plant Vine

1. Soil and Water
Soil: Chenille Plant Vine is drought-tolerant and highly adaptable to soil. Ordinary soil, yellow soil, and sandy loam can all be used for planting.
Water: During care, watering about once every 2 days is enough. Be careful that the soil does not become waterlogged and that drainage is good.

You can apply a light fertilizer once every two to three months, and keep it ventilated often.
3. Light
Chenille Plant Vine likes sun and tolerates high temperatures. It is suitable for planting outdoors in a spot with ample light. In summer, Chenille Plant Vine can be used for shade and heat insulation, decorating a corridor, very leisurely and comfortable.
String of Hearts
When Huahua first saw String of Hearts, she was attracted by its romantic heart-shaped leaves. Hanging in front of the window, it is as romantic as a wind chime.
Care Tips
1. Soil and Water
Soil: Ordinary succulent-specific soil from the flower market will do, or you can mix in some perlite or coarse sand to increase nutrients and permeability.
Water: String of Hearts is drought-tolerant and stores water well. Do not water frequently in daily care; water only when the soil is dry, and avoid root rot.
2. Fertilizing
String of Hearts does not like fertilizer. After sowing, a compound fertilizer can be applied once or twice a year.
3. Light
In summer, place it in a spot with indirect light for care. Direct strong light can easily cause leaf scorch and affect its ornamental value.
That is all Huahua is recommending today. Are any fellow gardeners tempted?
