String of hearts: heart-shaped leaves and trailing vines

Ceropegia woodii. Fine vines and small tubers store water, making wet soil riskier than a short dry period.

String of hearts

Light

Very bright, indirect light; gentle sun strengthens colour.

Watering

Water after the mix has dried well.

Soil

A very free-draining mix with a mineral component.

More useful detail

Care over time

Rhythm through the year

It grows quickly in bright conditions. In lower light, it needs much less water.

Growth and repotting

Vines root at nodes or from small tubers; a shallow pot is usually enough.

Plant

A simple care routine for String of hearts

  1. 1

    Check light and moisture before taking action.

  2. 2

    Let light reach the pot surface and lay vines over the mix to fill it out.

  3. 3

    Track changes in new growth instead of judging only old damage.

Observation

Changes worth checking

  • Long bare sections
  • Soft translucent leaves
  • Vines drying at soil level
Important

Watering frequency changes with light, temperature, pot size and potting mix. Use any interval as a reminder to check the plant, not as an automatic watering day.
