Ceropegia woodii

Ceropegia woodii, often called String of Hearts, is a trailing plant with fine purple-toned stems, water-storing tubers and small heart-shaped leaves. The leaves are usually green to grey-green above with silver marbling, while the undersides often have a purple tint. The vines can hang from a pot, trail along a shelf or be guided around a small support.

This plant stores water in thickened roots, a woody base and small aerial tubers that can form along the stems. This is why it prefers bright light, sharp drainage and time to dry between waterings. Mature plants may also produce narrow tubular flowers with a swollen base and joined petal tips.

String of Hearts traits

  • Trailing plant with water-storing tubers
  • Small heart-shaped leaves with silver marbling
  • Fine purple-toned stems that can grow long with age
  • Aerial tubers on mature vines
  • Tubular flowers on settled, actively growing plants

How String of Hearts grows

Ceropegia woodii is native from Zimbabwe to South Africa, where it grows from tubers and can climb through surrounding vegetation. Indoors, it is usually grown as a hanging or trailing plant.

The thin stems and small spaced leaves give the plant a light, chain-like look. The flowers are typical of Ceropegia, with a swollen base, narrow tube and joined petal tips. Flowering is most likely on mature vines growing in bright, stable conditions.

Care for trailing String of Hearts vines

  • Light: Bright indirect light with some gentle direct sun keeps the vines stronger and the leaves closer together.
  • Watering: A full watering followed by time to dry suits the tubers better than constant moisture.
  • Substrate: Use a sharply draining succulent-style mix with pumice, perlite, grit or coarse sand.
  • Pot choice: Use a pot with drainage holes. This plant often grows well slightly snug, while oversized pots can hold moisture for too long.
  • Temperature: Keep around 18–26 °C during active growth and above 15 °C indoors.
  • Humidity: Normal household humidity is fine if the plant has enough light and the substrate dries properly.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth. Reduced-strength fertiliser is enough for this fine-stemmed plant.
  • Winter watering: Reduce watering when growth slows. Keep the plant bright and allow longer drying between waterings.
  • Pruning: Trim long vines to shape the plant or refresh a sparse top.
  • Propagation: Propagate from stem cuttings, aerial tubers or tubers placed against lightly moist, airy substrate.

Vines and tuber checks

  • Shrivelled leaves: Check the tubers and root zone. Dry, firm tubers usually need watering; soft or dark tubers point to rot.
  • Yellowing vines: Often linked to excess moisture, poor drainage or cold conditions. Let the plant dry and remove damaged stems.
  • Long bare sections: Usually linked to low light, old growth or very long vines. Increase light gradually and trim sparse sections if needed.
  • Limited flowering: Mature vines need bright light, active growth and time to settle in the pot.
  • Mealybugs: Check leaf bases, tubers and tangled stems. Isolate and treat early.

Keeping long strands tidy

Ceropegia woodii can become very long with age, and the vines tangle easily. Handle the plant slowly during watering, repotting or shipping recovery. If the top of the pot becomes sparse, healthy cuttings can be rooted back into the same pot to refresh the crown.

Pet access and handling

Keep trailing strands out of reach of pets and children that may pull, break or swallow plant material. The fine vines can snap easily, especially near tangled stems or aerial tubers.

Name background

Ceropegia woodii belongs to Apocynaceae. Ceropegia is commonly interpreted as “wax fountain”, referring to the unusual flower shape. The species name woodii honours John Medley Wood, a collector of southern African plants.

Fantastic and elegant looking nightstand or bathroom tray
Color: White 1 Pack, Size: 8" x 8" x 1.8"
I absolutely love this nightstand tray! The elegant gold trim gives it a luxurious look that instantly elevates my nightstand decor. It works perfectly as a perfume or cologne organizer and keeps all my bottles beautifully displayed. I’ve also used one as a dresser organizer countertop to hold jewelry and skincare, and another as a stylish key tray or key holder bowl by the front door. The quality is excellent and the design is both functional and beautiful. I love it so much, I’ll definitely be buying a few more to stack it up in a couple of my rooms. Highly recommend!

I'm impressed! Simple but quite effective, affordable, properly designed
Color: Walnut Wood
I normally don't review items unless I am very impressed or feel I need to review to warn others of a particularly poor product. In this case I am highly impressed! Great price (compare to others made from plastic), well designed and quality construction. Simple but quite effective. Quality wood support, smooth sanded and beautifully finished.. The wood support is designed and created to properly support headphones without damage to the headband as a simple hook or peg design might I have a home recording studio and don't want some cheap shlopck headphone holder to damage my $300 headphones in any way. This support is very reasonably priced, and offers 2 ways to mount. Included double sided self adhesive or using a screw through the hole at the top of the metal bracket. Screw mounting hardware is included. The metal bar used is incredibly robust but is well suited aesthetically to complement the wood rest. I would recommend to my friends or anyone who wants a quality, I expensive, and affection headphones holder. Don't hesitate to purchase, you won't be sorry!
