The String of Arrows, known as Ceropegia woodii ‘String of Arrows’, is a captivating trailing succulent plant known for its unique, arrow-shaped leaves and delicate cascading vines. This well-loved variety of Ceropegia woodii retains the same drought tolerance and easy-care nature but features elongated, pointed leaves resembling arrowheads. Its trailing stems can reach impressive lengths, making it an excellent choice for hanging baskets, shelves, or trellises. With its striking foliage and occasional blooms, the String of Arrows is a popular houseplant among collectors and succulent lovers. 

Native to South Africa, this fast-growing Ceropegia String of Arrows plant has more pointed foliage and a lighter coloration of lime green and silver. It can also turn pink in direct sunlight. It shines in a hanging pot and can grow trailing stems 3 feet long. 

Like other Ceropegia woodii varieties, this plant develops small, bead-like tubers along the stems, which can be used for propagation.

Its cascading vines make it a great choice for indoor hanging planters or vertical gardening.

The String of Arrows produces small, tubular, lantern-shaped flowers that are pinkish-purple to deep maroon in color.

These blooms have a wax-like texture and are designed to attract specific pollinators, particularly small flies.

The flowers have a funnel-shaped opening with fine hair inside, temporarily trapping insects to aid in pollination before releasing them.

While not grown primarily for flowers, this plant can bloom multiple times a year in bright conditions. 

When it comes to care, water your string of Arrows thoroughly, but allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, especially in cool or humid environments.

Use a well-drained specialized  succulent mix, preferably with added perlite or sand for aeration. It prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sun. In low light, growth slows down, and vines may become leggy. Feed with a balanced NPK fertilizer once a year during the growing season in the spring. Avoid excessive feeding in winter. 

When grown indoors, your string of arrows prefers 60–80°F. Avoid temperatures below 50°F, as it is not frost-hardy.

For outdoor cultivation, it is suitable in USDA Zones 10–12 but should be brought indoors in colder climates. 

The String of Arrows is easy to propagate, making it an ideal plant for sharing with friends or expanding your collection. These include tuber propagation, stem cuttings, and leaf node propagation.

According to ASPCA, the String of Arrows is non-toxic to humans, cats, dogs, and humans, making it a pet-friendly houseplant. 

Final Thoughts

Overall, The String of Arrows (Ceropegia woodii ‘String of Arrows’) is a stunning, low-maintenance trailing plant with distinctive arrow-shaped foliage, drought tolerance, and unique flowers. Whether cascading from a hanging basket or climbing up a trellis, its delicate vines add an elegant touch to any space. With proper care—adequate light, well-draining soil, and occasional watering—this plant will thrive and continue to produce lush, trailing stems year after year. Its ease of propagation and non-toxic nature make it an excellent choice for both beginner and experienced plant lovers.

Three books in one....
Format: Paperback
This is a three books in one. Could You Survive The Cretaceous Period, Could You Survive The Jurassic Period, and Could You Survive The Ice Age? It’s a LOT of fun. The last book is, in fact, split into three stories. As you get to try to survive in North America, Europe, and Australia. I enjoyed all the setting. Though I have to be honest I failed to return to the modern time from the Jurassic period. Trapped!!!! And…my friends in the book had a kid. I hope that does not destroy the timeline. But I enjoyed it. It reminded me a lot of the old Time Machine books.

The nephews (10 & 8) love these kinds of books! I bought the prehistoric one as well and after they were done they swapped to continue their adventures! They're asking for more and choose the books over screen time! I'd say thats a win for the Aunt!

Awesome!
Format: Hardcover
This was an awesome book with a focus on friendship and family which isn't seen often enough in YA. If you liked Who's That Girl, you'll love this music infused book. I have a full review for this book posted on my blog: Reading, Writing, And Me.

She starts the book off fairly amusing and relateable with an excellent depiction of anxiety and paranoia
Format: Paperback
This was actually a 3.5 star read for me, but the more I pondered it over the two-day span between finishing it and reviewing it, I realized it wasn't quite remarkable enough for me to round up. Here We Are Now tells the story of Taliah, a biracial white/Arabic teen who's never met her father. She's only working on an educated guess that he might be Julian Oliver, rockstar sensationalist, when the man shows up at her door one day to tell her that her assumptions were correct - and he wants to take her to meet his family, including his dying father. Tal isn't the most enjoyable narrator in the beginning of the story. She starts the book off fairly amusing and relateable with an excellent depiction of anxiety and paranoia, but those feelings quickly morph into a level of snark and distrust that's not pleasant to read through. Despite the fact that Julian's entire existence points blatantly to a million lies Tal's mother has fed her throughout her life, Tal refuses to place any blame on her mother. The nice thing about Taliah, however, is how much she grows; throughout the story, through a handful of "tough love" scenarios from multiple friends and family members, she learns that life isn't as black and white as she thinks it is. She grows to slowly trust people and open up, and is forced to come to terms with her unhealthy level of possessiveness over her best friend, Harlow. The most unexpected thing about Here We Are Now was how quickly and how much I fell in love with Tal's father, Julian. From the opening of the story, I honestly expected him to be this flighty, dirtbag sort of stereotypical rockstar who would show up, get her hopes up, and then shatter her dreams a few times before disappearing again at the end of the book. That is totally not Julian at all, though. From the beginning, he's awkward, uncertain, and a little bit shy about learning he's Taliah's father. I won't spoil the fine details for you, but we learn that Julian hasn't been half bad enough to deserve some of the events of the past, and he's actually a pretty well-meaning guy. His banter with Tal is so enjoyable, and I loved the way the we got to see the past through his memories, but they were written in Lena's (Tal's mother) perspectives. Harlow is Tal's childhood best friend, who happens to be a lesbian. I loved the idea of Harlow to bits: she's obsessed with baking, she's sassy, she's proud of her sexuality, and she's got a good head on her shoulders. Unfortunately, her actual interactions with Tal and the other characters in the story are cringe-y most of the time, and her "tough love" spiel about not relying on only one person would have been a lot better if it hadn't been laced with her breaking a promise to Tal so she could hang out with her girlfriend. The romance in this book was one hundred percent the biggest disappointment in the entire story. It felt so incredibly lackluster and out of place that I probably would have rounded up to 4 stars if I could have somehow gone through and edited out the entire existence of this friend-of-the-family character. He's not a bad kid, but it would be so nice to see a YA contemporary every now and then that doesn't end in a couple forming, and this book would have been perfect for that! Totally a missed opportunity. First of all, I am not Muslim - or religious at all - and I cannot speak for how good this rep was. I do know, however, that Jasmine Warga identifies as a Middle Eastern/American woman, so the POC rep is own-voice and was so enjoyable to read. Tal's mother's perspectives frequently reflect on her Muslim beliefs and family, as well as how incredibly homesick she is for Jordan. She frets constantly that she is letting her parents down if she doesn't make a name for herself in the States, and there is even a solid bit of conversation about hijab-wearing and eating habits! Of course, there is also the lesbian rep that I mentioned in Harlow's case, which I found really enjoyable. Harlow is out and proud and has no questions about her sexuality. There are no tropes, or painful moments we commonly see through queer characters in YA contemporary titles. All in all, Here We Are Now was a fun read, but nothing spectacular. Had it not been for the romantic aspect, I would have given this 4 stars, but it was such a downer that I couldn't justify rounding up the rating. If you're looking for a fun YA contemporary story about family, with some nice diverse representation thrown in, or if you're already a Jasmine Warga fan, I'd recommend picking it up.
