Ceropegia woodii

Ceropegia woodii, often called String of Hearts, is a trailing plant with fine purple-toned stems, water-storing tubers and small heart-shaped leaves. The leaves are usually green to grey-green above with silver marbling, while the undersides often have a purple tint. The vines can hang from a pot, trail along a shelf or be guided around a small support.

This plant stores water in thickened roots, a woody base and small aerial tubers that can form along the stems. This is why it prefers bright light, sharp drainage and time to dry between waterings. Mature plants may also produce narrow tubular flowers with a swollen base and joined petal tips.

String of Hearts traits

  • Trailing plant with water-storing tubers
  • Small heart-shaped leaves with silver marbling
  • Fine purple-toned stems that can grow long with age
  • Aerial tubers on mature vines
  • Tubular flowers on settled, actively growing plants

How String of Hearts grows

Ceropegia woodii is native from Zimbabwe to South Africa, where it grows from tubers and can climb through surrounding vegetation. Indoors, it is usually grown as a hanging or trailing plant.

The thin stems and small spaced leaves give the plant a light, chain-like look. The flowers are typical of Ceropegia, with a swollen base, narrow tube and joined petal tips. Flowering is most likely on mature vines growing in bright, stable conditions.

Care for trailing String of Hearts vines

  • Light: Bright indirect light with some gentle direct sun keeps the vines stronger and the leaves closer together.
  • Watering: A full watering followed by time to dry suits the tubers better than constant moisture.
  • Substrate: Use a sharply draining succulent-style mix with pumice, perlite, grit or coarse sand.
  • Pot choice: Use a pot with drainage holes. This plant often grows well slightly snug, while oversized pots can hold moisture for too long.
  • Temperature: Keep around 18–26 °C during active growth and above 15 °C indoors.
  • Humidity: Normal household humidity is fine if the plant has enough light and the substrate dries properly.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth. Reduced-strength fertiliser is enough for this fine-stemmed plant.
  • Winter watering: Reduce watering when growth slows. Keep the plant bright and allow longer drying between waterings.
  • Pruning: Trim long vines to shape the plant or refresh a sparse top.
  • Propagation: Propagate from stem cuttings, aerial tubers or tubers placed against lightly moist, airy substrate.

Vines and tuber checks

  • Shrivelled leaves: Check the tubers and root zone. Dry, firm tubers usually need watering; soft or dark tubers point to rot.
  • Yellowing vines: Often linked to excess moisture, poor drainage or cold conditions. Let the plant dry and remove damaged stems.
  • Long bare sections: Usually linked to low light, old growth or very long vines. Increase light gradually and trim sparse sections if needed.
  • Limited flowering: Mature vines need bright light, active growth and time to settle in the pot.
  • Mealybugs: Check leaf bases, tubers and tangled stems. Isolate and treat early.

Keeping long strands tidy

Ceropegia woodii can become very long with age, and the vines tangle easily. Handle the plant slowly during watering, repotting or shipping recovery. If the top of the pot becomes sparse, healthy cuttings can be rooted back into the same pot to refresh the crown.

Pet access and handling

Keep trailing strands out of reach of pets and children that may pull, break or swallow plant material. The fine vines can snap easily, especially near tangled stems or aerial tubers.

Name background

Ceropegia woodii belongs to Apocynaceae. Ceropegia is commonly interpreted as “wax fountain”, referring to the unusual flower shape. The species name woodii honours John Medley Wood, a collector of southern African plants.

Sturdy ball with pump
Color: Black/White, Size: Medium
Thick material so it won't pop so easy. Comes with a hand pump and 2 ball needles. Tabs for the dog to carry in his mouth. Although my dog bites the whole thing to carry. Savage loves it!

Exactly What I Needed For My GSD Puppy!
Style: Tuggi Hide, Style: Tuggi Hide
Pros: Super durable and sturdy – holds up well to tugging Stretchy bungee handle with comfortable padding Soft material that's gentle on puppy teeth Treat pocket encourages drive and engagement Great for interactive training and building play drive Fun blue color and perfect size for small to medium dogs Excellent for bite interruption and redirection Cons: Treat pocket can be tricky to find at first The Velcro closure could be longer or more secure Not meant to be left out – supervision required Exactly What I Needed to Build Drive in My GSD Puppy! This Coachi Tuggi Hide is exactly what I was searching for to help build drive in my little German Shepherd pup. The fact that I can tuck treats into the pocket and use it for a tug game? Genius. Let’s talk about that stretchy bungee handle – wow. It adds just the right amount of give and makes it easier on both of us during play. Plus, the padded handle is honestly one of my favorite features. I can play longer without discomfort, and the padding is legit comfortable. It’s super sturdy and ridiculously durable. I know I said “durable” like three times, but seriously—it deserves it. It’s also super soft, which is great for a teething puppy. The treat pocket is a great idea, though I will say it took me a minute to find it at first. Once I did, I noticed the handle actually runs deep into the toy. That’s great for strength, but do make sure you get all the treats out before storing. I also love the blue color, and the size is perfect for tugging and engaging a puppy. One small design tweak I’d suggest? Making the treat pocket a little longer or adjusting that hook-and-loop closure—it’s a bit short for how deep the pocket goes. That said, this toy is a total win. It’s a training tool, not a chew toy, so I don’t leave it out unsupervised. When we use it together, it’s pure gold. My puppy loves it, I love it, and our training sessions are so much more fun now.

Good value and quality.
Style: Tuggi Hide
Great for sports dog and building drive. This isn’t a chew toy to let a dog shred. I have big dogs that love to tug, and this has held up to a huge amount of use with high drivey dogs.

Good quality! Great reward for my search and rescue dogs!
Style: Tuggi Ball
My dogs love this! The bungee makes it easier on my shoulder and my dog enjoys it a lot. Super lightweight which is important for taking it on searches. Holds up to my intense working dog’s tug sessions *note that it is an interactive toy not a chew toy. Probably wouldn’t last long if you just give it to them to play on their own but perfect for a good game of tug

Fun for a short while
Style: Chase & Crinkle, Style: Chase & Crinkle
4 month old GSD puppy loved this toy but it did not last long before getting a whole in the crinkle part. I even limited the amount of play my dog had with it so I could increase the value of the toy to use it for distractions.
