Ceropegia woodii — commonly known as String of Hearts, Rosary Vine, or Chain of Hearts — is a delicate, trailing succulent native to South Africa, Eswatini, and Zimbabwe.

This charming plant is loved for its:

• Heart-shaped leaves: Small, fleshy, and patterned with silvery marbling on the upper surface and a soft purple underside.
