Ceropegia woodii – String of Hearts

 

 

The classic that stole our hearts.

 

The Ceropegia woodii — better known as the String of Hearts — is one of the most loved trailing houseplants in the world, and for good reason. Its delicate heart-shaped leaves in deep green with silver marbling tumble gracefully from long, wiry vines, creating a waterfall of foliage that’s equal parts elegant and effortless.

 

Native to South Africa, this succulent-style plant is tougher than it looks. It stores water in its stems, making it incredibly easy-care and drought tolerant — perfect for busy plant parents or anyone who forgets the odd watering. Whether you hang it, trail it, or let it weave through your shelves, the String of Hearts is a timeless addition to every jungle.

 

 

Why You’ll Love It 

 

  • Iconic heart-shaped foliage with silver patterns.

  • Trails that can reach 2 metres or more indoors.

  • Low-maintenance and drought-tolerant, perfect for beginners.

  • Works in hanging baskets, shelves, or as a living curtain of green.

 

 

Care Tips 

 

 

Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light — can tolerate some direct morning sun.

Water: Let the soil dry out fully between waterings — this is a succulent vine.

Soil: A chunky, free-draining mix (perlite, bark, sand) prevents soggy roots.

Airflow: Keep it breezy to avoid rot and keep vines healthy.

Bonus Tip: Trim the vines and replant cuttings to make it bushier.
