String of heart - Ceropegia woodii

🦊 Ceropegia woodii, commonly known as String of Hearts, is a graceful trailing succulent native to South Africa and Zimbabwe. Its slender vines cascade elegantly, adorned with small, heart-shaped leaves in mottled shades of green, silver, and purple. The undersides blush pink to deep mauve, creating a soft contrast that adds charm to any bright windowsill or hanging basket.
FLOWER DETAILS
This plant produces delicate tubular flowers in pale pink to lavender tones with a darker crown at the tip. The blooms resemble tiny lanterns or vases and appear periodically throughout the year, especially in warm, bright conditions. While subtle, they add an extra layer of character to this already romantic trailing plant.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light or gentle morning sun enhances leaf color and patterning.
💧 Water: Allow the soil to dry out almost completely before watering; the tuberous roots store moisture well.
🌡️ Humidity: Tolerates normal indoor humidity; no need for misting.
🪴 Soil: Use a fast-draining succulent or cactus mix to prevent root rot.
🏺 Potting: Ideal for hanging pots; repot only when the tubers fill the container.
