String of Hearts - Ceropegia woodii

Ceropegia woodii, commonly known as String of Hearts, is a delicate, trailing succulent native to southern Africa. It features slender, cascading vines adorned with small, heart shaped  leaves in shades of green, silver-grey, and soft pink. Tiny trumpet-shaped mauve flowers  appear in summer, adding a subtle charm to its elegant foliage.

A popular choice for modern indoor styling, String of Hearts thrives in bright, indirect light and well-drained soil. Its drought tolerance and fast growth make it one of the easiest indoor trailing plants to care for, equally beautiful in hanging baskets, pots, or trailing from shelves and ledges.

Key Features:

• Soil: Use a free-draining succulent or cactus mix; avoid heavy, moisture-retentive soil.
• Light: Bright, indirect light indoors. Partial shade outdoors.
• Watering: Allow soil to dry slightly between watering, reduce frequency in winter.
• Fertiliser: Feed lightly with a balanced liquid fertiliser during active growth in spring and summer.
• Maintenance: Trim vines occasionally to maintain shape and encourage fuller growth.
• Flowering: Produces small mauve tubular flowers in summer under bright conditions.

For lush growth, rotate occasionally to ensure even light exposure and trim leggy stems to encourage denser foliage.
