Ceropegia woodii is a delicate, trailing houseplant with slender vines and heart-shaped leaves in shades of light green and cream, with contrasting pink undersides.

As it matures, it develops small caudexes at the roots and under the leaves, making propagation very easy (the caudexes are planted directly in the substrate).
