Introducing the string of hearts, known as Ceropegia woodii, which is a charming trailing succulent that belongs to the CeropegiaGo to search-results-page?q=ceropegia genus. The string of hearts plant has several other common names such as sweetheart vine, rosary vine, line of hearts, and chain of hearts. These names reflect the unique appearance of its leaves and growth habit. 

Native to South Africa, the string of hearts plant can be found in the drier regions of the country. It's well-adapted to survive in arid conditions, making it a great choice for those who may forget to water their plants from time to time.  


The name "string of hearts" comes from the shape and arrangement of its leaves.

This chain of heart plants features heart-shaped, fleshy, gray-green foliage with a striking marbled pattern and thin, string-like vines with a distinctive purple shade, which can be enhanced by periodic pruning.

The string of hearts plant is easy to care for, especially during warmer months, and can grow up to 12 feet long, making it a lovely addition to hanging baskets or trailing over shelves.

However, it goes dormant in cooler weather, slowing its growth. 

The string of hearts flowers are small and tubular, with shades of pink and purple. They have an interesting mechanism to attract pollinators - small hairs inside the flower trap insects, which then have to crawl out through a small opening, ensuring they carry pollen with them. 

For string of hearts propagation, you can propagate it through stem cuttings by snipping off a healthy stem and placing it in well-draining soil. The cuttings root easily and can develop into new plants within a few weeks. It's a fun and rewarding way to expand your collection or share the plant with friends. 

Although the string of hearts is most commonly grown as a houseplant, it can also be grown as a sprawling ground cover, in rock gardens, or tumbling down walls in warm Mediterranean climates. 

Additionally, its variegated variety, which is known as a variegated string of hearts is a unique plant with leaves in cream or white, alongside the usual silver-green color. This plant adds visual interest to any space and is highly sought after by plant enthusiasts. 

Watering Needs 

When it comes to watering your string of hearts plant, it's important to find the right balance. You don't want to overwater or underwater your chain of heart plant. When watering, give it a thorough soak, allowing the water to flow through the drainage holes. Then, let the top inch or so of the soil dry out before watering again. It's better to underwater than overwater, as the plant is more tolerant of dry conditions. 

In the spring and summer, during the growing season, the string of hearts plant may need more frequent watering. As the weather cools down in fall and winter, you can reduce the watering frequency. Remember, it's always best to check the soil moisture level before watering to avoid overdoing it. 

Additionally, keep an eye on the leaves. If they start to look wrinkled or droopy, it's a sign that the plant is thirsty. On the other hand, if the leaves turn yellow or feel mushy, it may be a sign of overwatering. Adjust your watering routine accordingly. 

Light Requirements 

When growing indoors, the string of hearts plant prefers bright, indirect light. It thrives in a spot with plenty of bright, filtered sunlight. You can place it near a north or east-facing window where it can receive gentle morning or afternoon sunlight. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight as it can scorch the delicate leaves. 

If you don't have a well-lit spot indoors, you can also grow a string of hearts under fluorescent lights. Position the lights about 6-12 inches above the plant and keep them on for about 12-14 hours a day. 

If you are growing them outdoors, your string of hearts can handle some direct sunlight, especially during the morning or late afternoon. However, it's still best to provide it with some shade during the hottest parts of the day to prevent leaf burn. A partially shaded area with dappled sunlight is ideal. You can place it on a patio, balcony, or in a garden where it can receive bright, indirect light. Just make sure to protect it from strong winds and extreme temperatures. 

Remember, the string of hearts is a versatile plant that can adapt to different light conditions, but it generally prefers bright, indirect light. Keep an eye on your plant's leaves—if they start to look pale or bleached, they may be getting too much light, and if they become dark green, they may need more light.  

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The string of hearts plant prefers sandy, well-drained soil, as excess moisture can promote root and stem rot. Planet Desert specializes in succulents and has specialized succulent potting soil that includes an organic substrate with mycorrhizae to help with the growth of a healthy root system to help your succulents thrive. As an okay alternative, you can create your own potting mix by combining equal portions of perlite, coarse sand, and good natural potting soil. 

When it comes to fertilizing your string of hearts, it doesn't require a lot of nutrients. During the growing season, typically spring, you can feed it with a balanced (5-10-5), water-soluble NPK fertilizer diluted to half the recommended strength. Apply the fertilizer once a year to provide a gentle boost of nutrients. However, during the dormant period in fall and winter, you can reduce or even stop fertilizing altogether. The string of hearts doesn't require as much energy during this time, so it's best to let it rest. 

Remember, it's important not to over-fertilize your Ceropegia woodii, as this can lead to salt buildup in the soil, which can be harmful. Always follow the instructions on the fertilizer packaging and err on the side of caution. 

Hardiness Zones & More 

When growing indoors, the string of hearts plant thrives in average room temperatures ranging from 60°F to 75°F. It's important to keep it away from drafts and extreme temperature fluctuations. The string of hearts plant prefers moderate humidity levels, but it can tolerate lower humidity as well. You can provide a slightly more humid environment by misting the leaves occasionally or placing a tray with water near the plant. However, it's not a high-maintenance plant when it comes to humidity. 

For outdoor cultivation, your Ceropegia woodii string of hearts plant is generally suited for USDA zones 10 to 12, which are characterized by mild to warm climates. These zones typically have minimum average temperatures ranging from 30°F to 60°F. 

If you live in a colder climate, you can still enjoy the string of hearts as an outdoor plant during the warm summer months. However, it's important to bring it indoors or provide protection when temperatures drop below its tolerance level.

An action-packed dark romantasy
Format: Kindle
I loved this book! Queen of Roses is an Arthurian-inspired dark romantasy that is the first book in the Blood of Fae series. The story follows Morgan, the princess of Camelot who is rumored to be part fae. Fueled by prejudiced hatred and a mistrust of fae blood, Morgan’s abusive father strips her of her birthright and hands it to her half-brother, Arthur. Instead of becoming queen, Morgan is commanded to join the temple of the goddesses when she comes of age. However, Arthur turns into a psychopathic, power-hungry, fae-hating king as he ages. He develops malevolent plans and commands Morgan to find an ancient weapon with legendary power. Although Morgan is wary of Arthur’s intentions, she embraces the opportunity to go on a journey and potentially change her fate. The story picks up from there and we follow Morgan on her quest to find the ancient relic. It’s full of high stakes adventure, mystery, tension, banter, forced proximity, hidden magic, self discovery, and betrayal. This first installment of the series intricately develops the world building and character development. There’s little romance in this book, but it is evident that it is a slow burn that will continue to develop throughout the remainder of the series. Overall, I loved the world building, the epic fantasy, Morgan’s journey of self discovery, and all of the twists and turns that set the stage for the future installments. I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Arthurian Fae Quest…say less.
Format: Kindle
A fae centered Arthurian tale unlike any I’ve read so far. The author did a great job at descriptive world building, with scenes easily playing out in my minds eye. There was plenty of action, suspense, and even a touch of horror. An enemies to lovers, slow burn romance, a quest, with plot twist and turns aplenty. There was a love triangle, which I’m not usually a fan of but, it played out well in this story line. The FMC, Morgan Pendragon, was so blatantly naïve, yet I typically expect as much in a ‘book one’ of a series, especially one that features a fairly sheltered princess. I was happy to read that in spite of this, she still showed a strong sense of morals, fire, and spine. Now our MMC? Kairos Draven, aka Void’s Edge. Oh, how I’m a sucker for a smoking’ hot grumpy warrior alpha with a witty mouth, and a strong sense of “touch her and die” attitude, so you know who held all my cards. That ending? Just made me swoon all the harder. Now add a battlecat that rivals the size of a horse…and well Ms. Briar Boleyn you have well and truly stolen my heart. I’m excited to see where the story goes from here, and follow along to see more of the characters growth. I went into this story fairly blind, and I think I enjoyed it all the more because of it. Once the story got going, it had me in an absolute chokehold and it was difficult to put down.

Not a bad start
Format: Kindle
3 stars Thank you Netgalley and Briar Boleyn for the ARC! A camelot/king Arthur retelling with fae. I was hooked by the idea of this book immediately and was eager to jump into this world. • slow burn • enemies to lovers • who did this to you Morgan Pendragon watched her mother die by her father's hand when she was just eight years old, hiding under the bed. Morgan is believed to have the tainted blood of the fae in her veins and is cast aside so that her fathers illegitimate son, Arthur, can become the king. She's seen his cruel treatment of the fae firsthand, so when he sends her on a journey to find a fae weapon she seizes the opportunity to do more with her life. Along the way, she finds more than she could have imagined. I don't know a whole lot about King Arthur and Camelot but I had a lot of fun with this story! The plot has some similar tropes to popular romantasy books (From blood and ash) but there's enough originality here that it doesn't feel like I'm reading a copy. I liked how the fae were different in appearance than what is typical in most fantasy books I've read. In this book they have blue hair, violet skin and a wide range of other characteristics. I thought that the world building was easy to follow and I could easily immerse myself into this world. After reading the blurb I kept wondering when she was going to go on the journey to find Excalibur and it doesn't happen until around the 45% mark. The story is a bit slow at times but starts to pick up once they begin their journey to find Excalibur. The John Wick style Inn was a fun concept that I enjoyed reading about. There are a lot of similarities to this and FBAA and I would have liked to have it be a little more different, but I'm hoping book two will have the story turn into something of its own. Overall I enjoyed reading this story and I'm looking forward to reading book two especially after that ending.

Fallen Angels, fae, vampires, oh my!
Format: Kindle
Rating: 4.5 | Spice: 2 (but a good slow-burn) • Main Characters: Huntyr and Wolf • I couldn’t wait to read this book; there was so much hype about it! And there was no doubt why. I fell in love with the characters and the plot itself. This book is mainly plot driven more than friction driven but it’s easy to follow along with. The characters are fun, easily understood. The main setting is at an academy where both the main characters are going through trials and building strength for the final test, The Transcendent. There are fantastic side characters as well. I loved the camaraderie between Huntyr and her friends. But we don’t like Lanson. 😆 We do have some plot twists that come into play throughout the book. Secrets and betrayal to be seen. I did adore Wolf and Huntyr’s relationship. It was a classic slow burn trope. They didn’t hit it off fast, but in time their feelings grew. I loved their banter, so sexy. Wolf is your next book boyfriend; Huntyr is your next vampire assassin independent bad-a*s female. Themes include loyalty, trust, self-discovery, a true slow burn romance. Side note: book ends on a angsty cliffhanger! • Emily, thank you for writing this awesome novel and I cannot wait to devour Book 2, Blood So Brutal! 😍 • Happy reading, my lovelies! xo

“My heart bows to you and you only, Huntress.”
Format: Kindle
3.5 🌟 This book popped up in my KU recommended reading suggestions and the synopsis sounded like what I was in the mood for. I'm so glad I took a chance on it. I went into this knowing absolutely nothing about it and ended up really liking it. I love when this happens. The main characters are likeable and I easily found myself rooting for them. There is a mystery element to each of their backstories that I enjoyed watching unfold and can't wait to get more of. Wolf, in particular, has me fixated. Love him. I found this to be an entertaining, addictive read with a plot that moves along at a good pace. It reads so easily I found myself very reluctant to put it down. Lots of twists and turns and the angst is there. A good set up for the next book to come, for sure. My issues with this book....the dialogue feels a bit juvenile at times and there is a repetitive over use of a particular word phrasing that I found myself giving the ole eye-roll to. There are, without a doubt, some pretty cliche moments that gave me a bit of the cringe. I think this could've certainly 100% benefited from more depth regarding the world building. Perhaps the world building was sacrificed to keep the pacing quick? Just a guess. Also, the lack of consistency of character for the FMC was really evident and so she feels quite illogical at times. Overall, this was a fun and enjoyable read that hit the spot well enough for me. That ending certainly has me impatiently pining for book 2!
