Delicate, romantic, and utterly irresistible — String of Hearts is one of those plants that stops people in their tracks. Its long, trailing vines are strung with pairs of tiny heart-shaped leaves, each one marbled in silver and green on top with soft purple undersides. Draped over a shelf or spilling from a hanging basket, it’s pure magic.

Ceropegia woodii — String of Hearts

Native to the rocky landscapes of South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Eswatini, where it trails through vegetation and across sun-baked terrain. It’s a trailing succulent at heart — developing small underground tubers that store water and help it shrug off the occasional missed watering. Fast-growing, forgiving, and endlessly charming.

And great news for pet owners: this one is pet safe 🐾

Why Choose String of Hearts?

  • Delicate cascading vines that can trail over a metre long
  • Beautiful heart-shaped leaves with silver marbling and purple undersides
  • Drought tolerant and very easy to care for
  • Fast-growing under good conditions
  • Pet safe — perfect for homes with cats and dogs

Light Requirements

Bright indirect light is ideal and encourages compact growth, healthy foliage, and even flowering. It can tolerate some gentle morning or evening sun. Avoid prolonged harsh midday sunlight. Brighter conditions often enhance the silver leaf markings.

Watering

Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water moderately during active growth and reduce in winter. Its succulent leaves and tubers store moisture, making it highly drought tolerant — perfect for busy plant owners.

Humidity and Temperature

Happy in average indoor humidity and warm temperatures. Protect from frost and cold draughts. Thrives in typical UK household conditions with no fuss.
