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.

Best shoe ever
5 star rating for literally the best shoe ever. I wore these almost everyday this summer. They are so incredibly comfortable. Cushion and padding is wonderful makes walking and wearing them very easy. They are not to platform at all and they don't have a separate heel height from the rest of the shoe so you're on a even walking ground. Size is perfect I stayed true to size and ordered my original sizing in Ugg which is perfect. The style os so trendy and literally goes with everything. I highly suggest them. I have back problems/ back surgery and these made my life so much easier. Comfortable and great support.

Well made sandals
Nice sandal that works well for me, feet sit comfortably in the shoes. I’m a quadriplegic that needs someone to wrestle my legs while putting my shoes on for me. These go on fairly easily. I have short legs and the extra height of the sandals helps to reduce the pressure on the back of my legs while my feet are on the legrests. Also my ankles tend to buckle and cause my feet and shoes to roll over onto the side of my foot. The soles of the UGG Goldenglow are wide and flat, substantially reducing this tendency. As far as comfort and function while walking, I can’t speak to that.

So comfortable but only lasted 5 months…
Size: 9, Color: Sea Salt, Size: 9, Color: Sea Salt
I was hesitant to buy these without being able to try them on, but I’m so glad I did! They are incredibly comfortable. I am on my feet for a large portion of the day as a school principal and these feel amazing all day. They’re very adjustable so if you have feet that swell (or just fatter feet like me) these should be able to accommodate you. They are clunky but really cute! They’re also easy to clean. I’ve worn mine just about every day since I received them and can easily wipe them down with a wet paper towel to make them look new. They will occasionally trip you up if you’re not careful, the same way Ugg boots can do, but that hasn’t been a big problem for me. They’re very lightweight and versatile. Love them! Update: I probably just wore these too hard because today I was walking the school hallway and the shoe just snapped. One of the sides was completely unattached and within 30 minutes they were only on my foot by one strap. Super disappointed!! But I loved them enough that I ordered another pair to get me through until boot weather.
