🌿 Fine trailing stems adorned with small silver hearts • 🌤️ Indirect light / Partial shade • 💧 Low watering • 🌱 Easy care • 📏 H38 cm | Decorative pot Ø14 cm
Ceropegia linearis 'Iris', nicknamed String of Hearts, is a trailing succulent native to South Africa with fine hanging stems decorated with small silver-green heart-shaped leaves — an airy and graphic plant cascade like few others can create. The 'Iris' variety features slightly wider and more contrasted leaves than the classic Ceropegia woodii. Discover our hanging and trailing plants.
It roots very easily — just a few stems in a glass of water will produce new roots in a few weeks. Our complete propagation guide explains the technique step by step.
Exposure & Location
The Ceropegia prefers bright spots without direct sun — bright indirect light enhances the silver patterns on the leaves, while in partial shade they turn slightly greener.
- Exposure: indirect light to partial shade — tolerates slight shade, avoid direct sun.
- Ideal for: hanging, shelf, bright windowsill, desk.
- Temperature: 16 to 26 °C, protect from cold.
- Substrate: light and well-drained — succulent potting soil.
Watering & Care
- Watering: low to moderate — about every 8 to 10 days, let the substrate dry out between waterings. Avoid misting the leaves: Ceropegia prefers dry air and well-drained soil. Our guide to creating a plant relaxation corner will give you ideas to integrate it into your decor.
- Drainage: essential — empty the saucer after each watering.
- Fertilizer: once a month in spring and summer, use fertilizer for green plants or succulents.
- Pruning: lightly trim overly long stems to encourage branching and a denser shape.
Decor Ideas & Plant Combinations
Its fine trailing stems create a fluid and poetic silhouette — left free from a shelf or hanging, they form a plant cascade that few plants can match.
- As a hanging cascade: pair it with a Tradescantia Zebrina with purple stems — two trailing plants, two textures, and two very different color palettes, a graphic and contrasting hanging duo.
- On a shelf arrangement: pair it with a Peperomia rotundifolia and a Callisia repens — three compact trailing or creeping plants, same low watering needs, three different foliage textures.
- Decorative pot: a matte ceramic hanging pot or placed on a light wood shelf highlights the trailing stems without weighing them down.
Verdeia Tips
- The less you water it, the better it thrives: Ceropegia stores water in its stems and small root tubers — always wait until the substrate is completely dry before watering, especially in winter.
- Let the stems trail freely: the longer the stems, the more spectacular the cascade effect — avoid tying or guiding them, their naturally hanging growth is their main decorative asset.
- Propagation is simple: cut a 10 cm stem and place it in a glass of water on a bright windowsill — roots appear in 1 to 2 weeks.

What to do upon receiving my plant?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What to do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
