  •   Ceropegia woodii String of Arrows is a rare trailing succulent in the Apocynaceae family, native to the rocky hillsides and scrublands of South Africa. This coveted ceropegia string of arrows plant belongs to a genus celebrated for its unusual foliage and vining habit, making it a standout among collectors worldwide.

      The arrow-shaped leaves of Ceropegia woodii String of Arrows are the real showstopper, each one a narrow, pointed blade marked with silvery-green patterning and deep green veining on the upper surface, with a rich reddish-purple underside. Vines trail gracefully from the pot, and the distinctive leaf shape makes this rare trailing succulent instantly recognizable and unlike anything else in a plant collection.

      Ceropegia woodii String of Arrows produces small, tubular lantern-like flowers typical of the ceropegia genus, appearing along the trailing vines during warmer months. To encourage blooming, the plant benefits from a slight nighttime temperature drop, which signals the seasonal shift it needs to set buds.

      Ceropegia woodii String of Arrows is genuinely beginner-friendly despite its rare status, thriving with basic care and forgiving the occasional missed watering. It is perfectly suited for a hanging basket or a high shelf with a trailing hook, and it can move outside for summer in a sheltered spot as long as it is covered from rain. Sensitive to being moved once settled, try to find its happy spot and leave it there for best results.

  •   Ceropegia woodii String of Arrows thrives in bright indirect light and can even grow under office LEDs, but scorches in direct south-facing windows.

      Water Ceropegia woodii String of Arrows every 10-14 days in summer and cut back to once a month in winter, allowing the soil to dry fully between waterings.

      Ceropegia woodii String of Arrows performs best in a fast-draining cactus or succulent mix blended with extra perlite to prevent root rot.

      Ceropegia woodii String of Arrows prefers temperatures between 60-80°F (15-27°C) and should be kept away from AC vents and heater drafts, though it tolerates dry heated indoor air.

      Ceropegia woodii String of Arrows is a moderate grower; feed lightly with a diluted balanced fertilizer once monthly during the active spring and summer season only.

      Ceropegia woodii String of Arrows is rated for USDA hardiness zones 9-11 and is not frost tolerant, struggling below around 30°F (-1°C). Growers in California, Arizona, Texas, Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Nevada, Mississippi, and Alabama can enjoy Ceropegia woodii String of Arrows outdoors year-round in these warmer climates. Coastal Oregon and parts of Washington state that sit within zone 9 microclimates may also support this rare trailing succulent outside during mild seasons.
  • Q: Is Ceropegia woodii String of Arrows pet friendly?
    A: Yes, this plant is pet friendly and is considered non-toxic to cats and dogs, though the sap can occasionally cause mild skin or paw irritation, so placing it on a high shelf is still a smart precaution.

    Q: How often should I water Ceropegia woodii String of Arrows?
    A: Water every 10-14 days in the growing season and reduce to roughly once a month in winter, always letting the soil dry out completely between waterings.

    Q: How do I propagate Ceropegia woodii String of Arrows?
    A: The easiest method is stem cuttings, snip a healthy vine segment with a few leaves, let it callous for a day or two, then place it in moist cactus mix or water until roots develop.

    Q: Why are the leaves on my Ceropegia woodii String of Arrows turning yellow?
    A: Yellowing leaves are almost always a sign of overwatering or waterlogged soil, so scale back watering frequency and ensure the pot has adequate drainage.

    Q: Can Ceropegia woodii String of Arrows survive while I travel?
    A: Absolutely, this rare trailing succulent handles being left alone for up to 10 days without issue, making it one of the most travel-friendly plants you can own.

    Q: How do I encourage even growth in Ceropegia woodii String of Arrows?
    A: Rotate the pot a quarter turn every week or two so all sides receive equal light exposure, which keeps the trailing vines full and balanced rather than reaching in one direction.

    🌿 For Houseplants
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging as soon as possible and review the care instructions included with your order. Water based on your plant’s needs, making sure not to overwater.
    Houseplants may need a short adjustment period after arrival. Give your plant time to acclimate to its new space before placing it with other plants. You can gently clean the leaves if needed, and wait to fertilize until it has settled in. Always check soil moisture instead of watering on a fixed schedule.
    *** We pack carefully to protect each plant during transit, so larger orders may arrive in multiple packages.
