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.

Extremely comfortable
Color: 02-multicolour (4-pack), Size: X-Large
These are by far the softest and most comfortable underwear I have ever owned. The leg portion absolutely does roll up as so many others have mentioned, however, I did not find that to be uncomfortable at all just annoying that they don’t stay in place. I bought these specific underwear to see if it would help alleviate HS symptoms at all. They have definitely helped with wicking moisture away from the skin. More time will tell if it’s truly helpful for HS. For now, I will recommend these. They are thin, breathable, butter soft, wick moisture comfortable and I would buy again…maybe in a different style next time. I have washed them several times and they seem to be holding up rather well so that is also of supreme importance given the cost of the item. Again, I would recommend this item and plan on purchasing more in a different style very soon.

Eaten by my Thighs
Color: 04-multicolour (4-pack), Size: X-Large
I wanted to love them. Sadly they have let me down. Pros: natural breathable fabric , super soft and comfortable, cotton panty gussets for feminine health and panty liners will stick!! Yay:). And the colors! They are great! But here’s the Con. And it’s the con of all cons. THEY RIDE UP!! Eaten by my thighs. I’m 5’6” and in the general area of 175. I fluctuate depending on how many times I visit the bakery! :) I don’t have a thigh gap but it is not a super tight thigh squeeze. I seldom have thigh climb but these do. I tried two different sizes to see if that made a difference. Nope. I was miserable at a recent theme park in these. I was wearing long heavy dresses and it was quite awkward to yank these legs down non stop. They feel amazing and they have all the requirements 1. Soft 2. Comfortable and stretches with you 3. Breathable with nice thin fabric. Not bulky 4. Natural fibers 5. Great colors If you are a person that is not blessed with Thunder Thighs, please order these. They are great! I wear them at home and to locations that I will not be doing a lot of walking at. I have washed them so many times and they look like new still.

I rarely give 5⭐️’s but these deserve it! Hands down, the most comfortable material, stitching, waistband, moisture wicking and overall comfort. They sit right beneath my bellybutton, they wash and dry well and they’re sturdy. I have tried 3 styles and these are the best.
