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.

If pump doesn't seem to work
Size: For 85-300 HP, Size: For 85-300 HP
Hi....I apologize it took me a while to get back to you with my results. Here is what I discovered about the pump and will also apply to some of the other comments I read in the reviews with people not getting the pump to work: 1.) I removed the pump to check the proper direction of the impeller and it was correct as can be seen in the photo. 2.) I built a pump shaft attachement so that I could operate the pump with a power drill. 3.) I attached the water muff to the unit and tried to pump water.....it wouldn't do so. What I did see however was that even at high hose discharge and small leakage at the muff I could not fill the water cavity in the housing. 4.) I installed a strap around the muff and tightened it very tight and THEN at high hose pressure I was able to get the cavity to fill with water. 5.) At that point I activated the drill and was able to get the pump to actually pump water. I then removed the pump housing and removed the O-Ring that resides on top of the impeller, reassembled and it would not pump water. Since the O-Ring sits higher than the original does I wanted to make sure that it was necessary to have it in the pump. 6.) I reassembled the engine and kept the tight strap on the bottom and finally it pumped water into the engine. My conclusion that you can reply to other buyers if they have a problem: Do NOT underestimate 2 things....1.)the lack of ability of the pump to draw water up AND 2.)the fact that if the muff leaks it will NOT fill the cavity when common sense says it should. This was a 120hp Johnson. The engine bottom must be immersed fully or the muff must be very tight on the lower unit for the pump to function. Please feel free to post this if you wish.

Incorrect motor listed. Far smaller impeller than what's in the 6 horse johnson.
Size: For 5.5HP 6HP 7.5HP
It seems to be of good quality. However it does not fit a 6 horse johnson as it states. Therefore it will not pump water or function for my purposes. It was a waste of money.
