Introducing the string of hearts, known as Ceropegia woodii, which is a charming trailing succulent that belongs to the CeropegiaGo to search-results-page?q=ceropegia genus. The string of hearts plant has several other common names such as sweetheart vine, rosary vine, line of hearts, and chain of hearts. These names reflect the unique appearance of its leaves and growth habit. 

Native to South Africa, the string of hearts plant can be found in the drier regions of the country. It's well-adapted to survive in arid conditions, making it a great choice for those who may forget to water their plants from time to time.  


The name "string of hearts" comes from the shape and arrangement of its leaves.

This chain of heart plants features heart-shaped, fleshy, gray-green foliage with a striking marbled pattern and thin, string-like vines with a distinctive purple shade, which can be enhanced by periodic pruning.

The string of hearts plant is easy to care for, especially during warmer months, and can grow up to 12 feet long, making it a lovely addition to hanging baskets or trailing over shelves.

However, it goes dormant in cooler weather, slowing its growth. 

The string of hearts flowers are small and tubular, with shades of pink and purple. They have an interesting mechanism to attract pollinators - small hairs inside the flower trap insects, which then have to crawl out through a small opening, ensuring they carry pollen with them. 

For string of hearts propagation, you can propagate it through stem cuttings by snipping off a healthy stem and placing it in well-draining soil. The cuttings root easily and can develop into new plants within a few weeks. It's a fun and rewarding way to expand your collection or share the plant with friends. 

Although the string of hearts is most commonly grown as a houseplant, it can also be grown as a sprawling ground cover, in rock gardens, or tumbling down walls in warm Mediterranean climates. 

Additionally, its variegated variety, which is known as a variegated string of hearts is a unique plant with leaves in cream or white, alongside the usual silver-green color. This plant adds visual interest to any space and is highly sought after by plant enthusiasts. 

Watering Needs 

When it comes to watering your string of hearts plant, it's important to find the right balance. You don't want to overwater or underwater your chain of heart plant. When watering, give it a thorough soak, allowing the water to flow through the drainage holes. Then, let the top inch or so of the soil dry out before watering again. It's better to underwater than overwater, as the plant is more tolerant of dry conditions. 

In the spring and summer, during the growing season, the string of hearts plant may need more frequent watering. As the weather cools down in fall and winter, you can reduce the watering frequency. Remember, it's always best to check the soil moisture level before watering to avoid overdoing it. 

Additionally, keep an eye on the leaves. If they start to look wrinkled or droopy, it's a sign that the plant is thirsty. On the other hand, if the leaves turn yellow or feel mushy, it may be a sign of overwatering. Adjust your watering routine accordingly. 

Light Requirements 

When growing indoors, the string of hearts plant prefers bright, indirect light. It thrives in a spot with plenty of bright, filtered sunlight. You can place it near a north or east-facing window where it can receive gentle morning or afternoon sunlight. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight as it can scorch the delicate leaves. 

If you don't have a well-lit spot indoors, you can also grow a string of hearts under fluorescent lights. Position the lights about 6-12 inches above the plant and keep them on for about 12-14 hours a day. 

If you are growing them outdoors, your string of hearts can handle some direct sunlight, especially during the morning or late afternoon. However, it's still best to provide it with some shade during the hottest parts of the day to prevent leaf burn. A partially shaded area with dappled sunlight is ideal. You can place it on a patio, balcony, or in a garden where it can receive bright, indirect light. Just make sure to protect it from strong winds and extreme temperatures. 

Remember, the string of hearts is a versatile plant that can adapt to different light conditions, but it generally prefers bright, indirect light. Keep an eye on your plant's leaves—if they start to look pale or bleached, they may be getting too much light, and if they become dark green, they may need more light.  

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The string of hearts plant prefers sandy, well-drained soil, as excess moisture can promote root and stem rot. Planet Desert specializes in succulents and has specialized succulent potting soil that includes an organic substrate with mycorrhizae to help with the growth of a healthy root system to help your succulents thrive. As an okay alternative, you can create your own potting mix by combining equal portions of perlite, coarse sand, and good natural potting soil. 

When it comes to fertilizing your string of hearts, it doesn't require a lot of nutrients. During the growing season, typically spring, you can feed it with a balanced (5-10-5), water-soluble NPK fertilizer diluted to half the recommended strength. Apply the fertilizer once a year to provide a gentle boost of nutrients. However, during the dormant period in fall and winter, you can reduce or even stop fertilizing altogether. The string of hearts doesn't require as much energy during this time, so it's best to let it rest. 

Remember, it's important not to over-fertilize your Ceropegia woodii, as this can lead to salt buildup in the soil, which can be harmful. Always follow the instructions on the fertilizer packaging and err on the side of caution. 

Hardiness Zones & More 

When growing indoors, the string of hearts plant thrives in average room temperatures ranging from 60°F to 75°F. It's important to keep it away from drafts and extreme temperature fluctuations. The string of hearts plant prefers moderate humidity levels, but it can tolerate lower humidity as well. You can provide a slightly more humid environment by misting the leaves occasionally or placing a tray with water near the plant. However, it's not a high-maintenance plant when it comes to humidity. 

For outdoor cultivation, your Ceropegia woodii string of hearts plant is generally suited for USDA zones 10 to 12, which are characterized by mild to warm climates. These zones typically have minimum average temperatures ranging from 30°F to 60°F. 

If you live in a colder climate, you can still enjoy the string of hearts as an outdoor plant during the warm summer months. However, it's important to bring it indoors or provide protection when temperatures drop below its tolerance level.

A great printer with lower pricing
Style: ET-4800, Color: White, Set: FAX/ADF/Print/Copy/Scan
I am quite happy with my ET-4800 purchase. From wirelessly connecting to my Mac to software installation to adding the ink, it was easy to set up. I feel you can't go wrong with this level of ink capacity. It holds so much ink without the bother and added expense of frequently replacing cartridges. I will never go back to a cartridge machine. I don't care who makes it! I've used my printer several times so far, and each time it has done a great job by giving me the colors and clarity that I expected. This is the first printer that I've owned that wasn't a front-feeder. I wasn't sure how I would like that, but I've found that holding the paper straight and then dropping it into the slot rather than placing it, gives the best result for paper alignment. For my needs, I have only used it one sheet of paper at a time. So if you are wanting to load several sheets at once, your loading experience may be different from mine. But just make sure that you do not load more than 100 sheets at a time, per the manufacturer's instructions. Also, be sure that the movable paper guides are in the correct spots for the size of paper being used, without any buckling. To date, I have not used the scanner, but it is definitely a feature that I did not want to be without, so I'm looking forward to using it. The display window, though small, is simple to follow along with, and I appreciate that the angle of the keypad can be adjusted. Working with the Epson Smart Panel app gives a bit more flexibility, particularly if you're not right next to your printer and want to check the ink levels or start a printing job. To use the app, be sure that you turn on your printer first and that both the printer and your device are set to the same wi-fi, so that the app can find your printer and you can begin operating it from afar. Once inside of the app, be sure to check out the "Other Features Menu" from the app's homescreen. There is a link to another Epson app that can be used to boost your creativity and streamline layouts for collages, and a colorful guide full of project ideas that outline everything that you need for each project and how to execute them. There's even a feature for sharing what you've scanned and submitting it as an assignment. This is something that you'd want to read more about to see if it is an applicable and helpful addition for you. You can use the search term, "google classroom in epson smart panel app," to find out more. There is only one downside that I have found at this point. The pull-out paper catching tray in the front feels flimsy. It seems out of place on an otherwise sturdy machine. But so far, I've had no problems with it. I just take my time pulling it out, flipping down the end, folding it back up, and pushing the tray back in. I figure if I baby it a bit, then all should be well. Overall, I really like the Epson ET-4800 as much as my ET-5170. I feel it performs well at an acceptable price point.

Excellent product for the price.
Style: ET-4800, Color: White, Set: FAX/ADF/Print/Copy/Scan
I have had many, many printers over the many years at the business and for home. I honestly think this is the best value for what I need. The eco tank is fabulous. This is the first printer I have purchased with the ecotank. So much better than the cartridges. The quality is good and it was easy to setup and put on the network. I did wait a few months before writing this review to truly test it out and write a fair review. I am pleased. I have had Epson products in the past and do appreciate their quality and affordability.

JUNK, Cheaply built, Feed Scanner fails and falls apart in less than 5 months and only 4 uses.
Style: ET-4800, Color: White, Set: FAX/ADF/Print/Copy/Scan, Style: ET-4800, Color: White, Set: FAX/ADF/Print/Copy/Scan
Absolute piece of Junk! Built cheaply. Feed Scanner has never worked properly from my first scan (only did 4) and now falls apart completely, in the roller section. It falls out after it jammed for the 7th time today, this time with a SINGLE piece of paper. If you have a piece of paper that has a fold in it, forget about it. That will never feed through. I had 6 sheets I had to get out today, I had to do manually via the flat bed, both sides. It took 23 minutes to get done. Should not have taken 2. The last time I used it same issues but less sheets. The paper is SO TIGHT in the feed section it is hitting BOTH walls. You could not slip a piece of paper in there if you wanted too, most likely one of the reasons it does not feed correctly. While on the phone with support (I am right now, 4th call today and 3 emails of pictures they wanted later, the hoops they put you through is ridiculous!) Of course overseas support and has little to no knowledge of being Tech support, I asked for supervisors only to have my first call disconnect at 1 hour and 20 seconds. Then the next call was 24 minutes, then another 32 minutes and now this one still ongoing (56 minutes and still going). Now after 3 hours and 5 minutes, they are "holding" my credit card for 179.99 + tax to get a REFURB unit! So much for a 5 year Warranty. Oh they acted like it was out of date on Warranty, it has NOT been in EXISTENCE for 5 years , it came out in 2022. Did I fail to mention you WILL be dealing with Overseas people who have you repeat the same thing over and over and over and over again. They wonder why I was getting upset...hmmmm . As they pass you along the ranks you have to repeat EVERYTHING all over again. As I was on the phone and they were asking me to open WRONG doors to find the serial #, I lifted once again the Jam area and guess what, the parts fell out. Just PLOP! Other issues while I am at it, the Picture quality is "OK" nothing special. I bought it to save ink as HP gouges you to death and destroys your print head if you use a knockoff. The Ink has been "OK", but I haven't really had it long enough to tell as most everything has been Black and White, so all are still full except the Black (3.4's). Its a rear feed, I miss the HP draw on that, the print speed again is not fast, just OK. Though never really in a rush with it. I cant say it enough, this is cheaply built, and my experience with Tech Support was a HORRIFIC. I never like dealing with Over seas support as it is, but what they wanted pictures of as proof was mind blowing (pictures of the tubes that go to the ink wells? What does that have to do with the issue at hand.) The panel function is anything but user friendly. Firmware Updates, if not done, will prevent usage until done. You have to download and install ALMOST 30 different files, from drivers to firmware updates the list is endless. Never have I had to do that many of ALL printers I have had combined. Simple ZIP file and let it run on an executable file (EXE)like everyone else. That will take you over 2 hours to get all loaded. The ink wasn't bad seeing it needs to be primed first to work, I am not sure what will happen when the REFURB comes, will I get ink or just have to re-prime from the cartridges. The software for scanning is easy to use, though unnecessary, should just scan and auto save, or am I just spoiled by HP? But to send me a "REFURB" as a replacement on a 5 month old unit with a 5 year warranty is really being low. They did EVERYTHING they could to get me to NOT follow through in this return, you have ONLY 30 days on Amazon. You have been warned, I would look elsewhere, the tank issue is a great Idea, but if it doesn't work, what good does it do.
