The String of Arrows, known as Ceropegia woodii ‘String of Arrows’, is a captivating trailing succulent plant known for its unique, arrow-shaped leaves and delicate cascading vines. This well-loved variety of Ceropegia woodii retains the same drought tolerance and easy-care nature but features elongated, pointed leaves resembling arrowheads. Its trailing stems can reach impressive lengths, making it an excellent choice for hanging baskets, shelves, or trellises. With its striking foliage and occasional blooms, the String of Arrows is a popular houseplant among collectors and succulent lovers. 

Native to South Africa, this fast-growing Ceropegia String of Arrows plant has more pointed foliage and a lighter coloration of lime green and silver. It can also turn pink in direct sunlight. It shines in a hanging pot and can grow trailing stems 3 feet long. 

Like other Ceropegia woodii varieties, this plant develops small, bead-like tubers along the stems, which can be used for propagation.

Its cascading vines make it a great choice for indoor hanging planters or vertical gardening.

The String of Arrows produces small, tubular, lantern-shaped flowers that are pinkish-purple to deep maroon in color.

These blooms have a wax-like texture and are designed to attract specific pollinators, particularly small flies.

The flowers have a funnel-shaped opening with fine hair inside, temporarily trapping insects to aid in pollination before releasing them.

While not grown primarily for flowers, this plant can bloom multiple times a year in bright conditions. 

When it comes to care, water your string of Arrows thoroughly, but allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, especially in cool or humid environments.

Use a well-drained specialized  succulent mix, preferably with added perlite or sand for aeration. It prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sun. In low light, growth slows down, and vines may become leggy. Feed with a balanced NPK fertilizer once a year during the growing season in the spring. Avoid excessive feeding in winter. 

When grown indoors, your string of arrows prefers 60–80°F. Avoid temperatures below 50°F, as it is not frost-hardy.

For outdoor cultivation, it is suitable in USDA Zones 10–12 but should be brought indoors in colder climates. 

The String of Arrows is easy to propagate, making it an ideal plant for sharing with friends or expanding your collection. These include tuber propagation, stem cuttings, and leaf node propagation.

According to ASPCA, the String of Arrows is non-toxic to humans, cats, dogs, and humans, making it a pet-friendly houseplant. 

Final Thoughts

Overall, The String of Arrows (Ceropegia woodii ‘String of Arrows’) is a stunning, low-maintenance trailing plant with distinctive arrow-shaped foliage, drought tolerance, and unique flowers. Whether cascading from a hanging basket or climbing up a trellis, its delicate vines add an elegant touch to any space. With proper care—adequate light, well-draining soil, and occasional watering—this plant will thrive and continue to produce lush, trailing stems year after year. Its ease of propagation and non-toxic nature make it an excellent choice for both beginner and experienced plant lovers.

Pretty Good
Color: Red Nylon Yellow Hotdog
The toy is good for a heavy chewer, but is very slippery. You may want to rough it up a bit before giving it to your dog so they can hold onto it.

WARNING - EXTREMELY SHARP AREAS
Color: Yellow Nylon Corn on the Cob, Color: Yellow Nylon Corn on the Cob
UPDATE: The 2nd one I ordered was exactly the same with the sharp parts in the same areas as the first one. I cannot stress enough that a few points are sharp enough to cut or badly scratch. So if you’re planning on putting some food on it so your pup can lick, this is not the product you want! This could still scratch or cut the gums if used as a chew toy too though. I was thinking about sanding the sharp points but then I have no idea if that exposes any chemicals somehow? Really wanted this to work out! I took this corn on the cob toy out of the plastic to wash it and before I even got to the sink I realized there were several areas that are super sharp. A few sharp enough that could cut or badly scratch! It was sealed in a plastic bag and shows no signs of being used so this defect must happen at the manufactures level. I added a video showing how easily it snags a cotton ball, cotton pad and even a beanie. Please thoroughly check your item before giving it to your pup! I was so excited to put some smashed banana on this thing and give it to my guy and thank god I checked it first! I’m going to return it and see if a 2nd one is any better and I’ll update if it is or isn’t. Also, the super sharp spots were very hard to photograph which is why I added the video.

good purchase
Color: Red Nylon Yellow Hotdog
This thing is great for hi anxiety dogs and dogs that ned to have something to do or to chew. It will take them a while to get through to it. I was told that it was indestructible but I knew if there was a dog that could do it, it would be mine, and she did. But it took her some time. But she loves it and it keeps her busy.
