Ceropegia woodii, the classic String of Hearts, is a trailing tuberous plant with fine purple-tinged stems and small heart-shaped leaves patterned silver-green above and purple beneath. Small underground tubers store water, so the plant prefers a light succulent-style mix and a clear dry phase between waterings. Place it in bright indirect light and water thoroughly once the potting mix feels dry through most of the pot. The fine vines fall neatly from shelves, hangers and small planters, giving a delicate cascading shape with a compact root system and a soft trailing look that stays easy to place.
