Ceropegia woodii – String‑of‑Arrows.
A graceful trailing plant with slender stems and arrow‑shaped leaves patterned in silver and green, perfect for hanging baskets and indoor displays. In Cape Town’s climate, it produces delicate, tubular pink‑purple flowers from late summer into autumn (February–April), adding charm to its cascading foliage. Customers love its elegant trailing habit and unique leaf markings that bring instant sophistication to any space.
Place in bright, indirect light or semi‑shade. Water moderately, allowing soil to dry slightly between watering. Use a light, well‑draining potting mix. Trim back long stems to encourage fuller growth. Protect from frost and avoid overwatering, as roots prefer airy conditions.
Ceropegia woodii is also known as the “Rosary Vine” because of its bead‑like tubers that form along the stems. A fascinating feature that makes it both ornamental and collectible.
