Ceropegia woodii, commonly known as the String of Hearts, is a beloved trailing succulent prized for its delicate heart-shaped leaves and graceful cascading vines. Native to South Africa, Eswatini, and Zimbabwe, this plant is part of the Apocynaceae family and has become a true classic among collectors for its beauty, resilience, and romantic charm.

The slender, thread-like stems are adorned with small, mottled green and silver leaves shaped like hearts, with soft purple undersides that add depth and colour contrast. Over time, the vines can trail several metres, creating a cascading curtain of foliage that’s perfect for hanging baskets or high shelves. In summer, Ceropegia woodii produces unique, tubular pink and purple flowers that resemble tiny lanterns — a subtle yet fascinating feature.

Elegant, whimsical, and endlessly versatile, Ceropegia woodii combines the sculptural appeal of a succulent with the grace of a trailing vine — a perfect addition to any curated indoor collection.


Ceropegia woodii – Care Guide

Light

Thrives in bright, indirect light or partial sun. A few hours of gentle morning or late-afternoon light each day enhances leaf variegation and purple colouring. Too little light may cause sparse growth and pale leaves, while harsh direct sunlight can scorch the delicate foliage.

Watering

Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water thoroughly, then let excess water drain freely. Ceropegia woodii stores water in its small, tuberous roots and leaves, making it highly drought-tolerant. During winter dormancy, water sparingly — just enough to prevent the tubers from shrivelling. Overwatering is the most common cause of root rot.

Temperature and Humidity

  • Temperature: Prefers warmth between 18–26 °C; avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 12 °C.

  • Humidity: Adapts well to average indoor humidity but prefers dry air. Avoid misting the leaves, as excess moisture can encourage fungal issues.

Soil and Potting

Use a well-draining, gritty mix — cactus soil combined with perlite or pumice is ideal. Terracotta pots are recommended to aid natural evaporation and prevent water retention. Repot every 2–3 years in spring to refresh the soil and check the health of the tubers.

Feeding

Feed every 6–8 weeks during spring and summer with a diluted cactus or succulent fertiliser. Avoid fertilising in winter when the plant’s growth slows.

Pruning and Maintenance

Trim long or tangled vines to maintain shape and encourage fuller growth. The cuttings can be easily propagated in soil, water, or sphagnum moss. Remove any dry or yellowing leaves to keep the plant tidy. Handle the vines carefully, as they are delicate and can snap easily.

Growth and Maturity

A moderate to fast grower, Ceropegia woodii can trail 1–2 metres indoors in ideal conditions. Mature plants often develop small tubers along the stems, which can be used for propagation. Its cascading vines and heart-shaped leaves make it a show-stopping addition to hanging planters or tall shelving.

Common Issues

  • Yellowing leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.

  • Sparse growth: Insufficient light.

  • Wrinkled leaves: Underwatering.

  • Pests: Occasionally mealybugs or aphids; treat promptly with neem oil or insecticidal soap.


Background and Benefits

Native to the rocky slopes of southern Africa, Ceropegia woodii grows as a semi-succulent trailing vine, storing water in its tubers to survive periods of drought. It was first described in 1881 and has since become one of the most popular houseplants worldwide, celebrated for its graceful trailing habit, ease of care, and romantic symbolism.

Its heart-shaped leaves symbolise affection and enduring love, making it a meaningful gift as well as a decorative favourite. Beyond its beauty, Ceropegia woodii is incredibly low-maintenance and drought-tolerant, thriving in bright, dry indoor environments with minimal attention.

Styling Tip

Display Ceropegia woodii in a hanging planter or elevated pot to showcase its cascading vines.

For a romantic, airy arrangement, allow the vines to spill over open shelving or trail across a sunlit window. Its elegant flow and heart-shaped leaves add softness and movement — a perfect accent for modern, bohemian, or botanical interiors.

I will wear these all summer!
Size: 8, Color: Black/Black
These sandals are definitely a platform if you’re looking for a bit of height but they’re also well made, comfortable and in my opinion much firmer support than another popular brand. They look great and they’re versatile. I purchased the black ones the color is a true deep black not gray-ish at all.

VERY comfortable & cute sandal!
Size: 9, Color: Cognac
I needed a pair of comfortable sandals for this summer & I really got lucky with these. I have a lot of arthritis in my feet & even my $100(+) tennis shoes don’t keep the pain away. I may start with tennis shoes at the beginning of the day but 1/2 way through I slip on the Hey Dudes & all is much better! These sandals are versatile, I have worn them with jeans & shorts. They would also look nice with a skirt. They are cute & comfortable! Not only are they lightweight, it feels like you are walking on air because the sole is so cushioned. One thing I do want to mention is the fact there is A LOT of room given toward the front of the shoe. The strap that goes over the ball of your foot is looser than I am used to, even with wide feet. You aren’t able to make adjustments. When I first put them on I didn’t think I would like it but after wearing them every day for the past month I know I do. I would recommend these sandals & wonder if I should stock up in case they stop making this style??

Cushy softness
Size: 8, Color: Ivory
I’m normally a 7W and originally ordered the 7 and it was almost a perfect fit if not for my high instep. Exchanged for an 8 and they fit great just a little loose in the toe strap but I can make it work.
