This plant prefers well-drained soil. Soil is well-drained when it allows water to drain through it at a moderate rate, without pooling. Allow the soil to become visibly dry before watering.

In spring and summer, use a diluted liquid fertilizer once every couple of weeks. Pruning is not necessary; just let this vining plant cascade freely.

There are few more iconic or charming houseplants than Ceropegia woodii x, String of Hearts. Also known as Rosary Vine, due to the lengthy “beads” of leaves on long vines, and Sweetheart Vine for its heart-shaped leaves, String of Hearts is beloved by many. The leaves spill out of a hanging container or pot on long, thin, cascading vines. Luckily, it is also easy to care for, as it is drought resistant, sun-loving, and long-growing. Its vines can grow to 4' or even longer. The dark green leaf pairs pop up every 3" or so along the vines, and they will give you a surprise with their colors, which include lacy white patterns on top and a hint of purple on the other side.
