String of Hearts Plant Features

Ceropegia woodii, aka String of Hearts, is a trailing succulent-like plant native to South Africa. The delicate, heart-shaped foliage and slender vines can reach up to 12' long in its natural environment, and has earned this plant many nicknames, including Rosary Vine and Sweetheart Vine. They are incredibly popular, but their stunning foliage makes it obvious as to why.

String of Hearts Growing Instructions

Water: As a succulent, these plants like to be watered sparingly, especially in the wintertime. Allow the soil to dry out (almost) and then water thoroughly. Excess water leads to root rot.

Winter care: Your plant will look a bit droopy during the cold months, but only water it sparingly. Begin watering normally in the springtime.

Humidity: Ceropegia woodii is comfortable in most household settings. It does not require high humidity.

Light: The chain of hearts plant appreciates bright, indirect sunlight, but it can do well in a low light setting.

Lower light will result in less contrast in the leaf variegation. Additionally, a low light setting will cause the backs of the leaves to take on a purplish hue.

Soil: Use a cactus mix with good drainage or combine a regular soil potting mix with perlite and sand.

Fertilizer: During the growing season (spring to midsummer) use a balanced fertilizer for houseplants. Follow packaging instructions.
