Meet Ceropegia linearis subsp. woodii—the string of hearts classic. Fine trailing vines carry tiny heart-shaped leaves marbled in silver and green, creating a delicate curtain of foliage. Sweet, easy-going and beautifully trailing, she is perfect for shelves and hanging pots.

  • The Formal Name: Ceropegia linearis subsp. woodii
  • The Nickname: String of Hearts
  • Roots: A tuberous trailing species native from Zimbabwe to South Africa.
  • Natural Vibe: Rocky pockets, ledges and dry forest edges where tubers store moisture and vines trail freely.

Care Guide
  • Care Guide:
  • Sunlight: She prefers bright indirect light and can enjoy a little soft morning or evening sun.
  • Best Room: A bright shelf, hanging pot or warm windowsill where the vines can trail freely.
  • Snacks: Feed lightly every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer; a bloom-supporting feed can help mature plants flower.
  • Tropical Feels: Average humidity is usually fine, though she appreciates a little extra moisture in the air.
  • Cosy Factor: Keep her warm at 18–26°C and away from cold draughts.
  • Thirst: Let the mix dry well between waterings; the small tubers dislike staying wet.
  • Safety First: Generally considered pet-safer, but keep away from pets and small hands to prevent chewing, broken vines or stomach upset.
  • The Bedding: Use a light, free-draining mix with added perlite or fine bark.
  • Family Tree: Propagate from vine cuttings, tubers or butterfly-style leaf pairs in warm bright conditions.
  • Space Needs: Lovely in a hanging pot or on a shelf where the vines can spill or climb.
  • Speed: A steady grower that may flower once mature and settled; avoid moving her constantly.
  • Uninvited Guests: Watch for mealybugs, scale and aphids around new growth and flower peduncles.
  • Moving Day: Repot only when needed; many hoyas flower better when slightly snug in the pot.
  • Haircut: Trim only where needed and do not remove old flower peduncles, as many hoyas rebloom from them.
  • Fresh Air: A waxy-leaved trailing plant with a soft collector feel and beautiful flowering potential.
  • Plant Lore: The heart-shaped leaves are the reason this plant has become one of the most loved trailing houseplants.
