String Of Hearts Ceropegia woodii is a beloved trailing succulent from the Ceropegia genus, native to the rocky hillsides and cliffs of South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Swaziland. This easy care sweetheart vine trailing plant has charmed collectors worldwide with its delicate, cascading stems and distinctive heart-shaped leaves.
String Of Hearts Ceropegia woodii produces small, paired heart-shaped leaves in deep green with silver marbling on top and a soft purple-pink underside.

Tiny tuber-like nodes form along the stems, adding extra visual texture and serving as natural propagation points.
