I've been into plants for 3 years. I always buy long or established plants. I say this because people even big stores as well. They will have plants that look really nice just bc they trim clippings and they just put then in pots without proper rotting or them being properly propagated which in a couple of days might rot because of over watering. I always purchase my plants from small businesses bc they actually love and care for their plants. Best wishes to you and you're plants 🙂

I bought a baby one that started off as 3 single little cuttings in a 6cm pot and was about 15cm long. She's now in a 9cm pot and has shot out 2 new vines on the top and grown to about 25cm in 6 weeks and she's 3 meters away from a north facing window on a shelf so gets not much light apart from first thing in the morning and she's growing well for me.

I got mine last year and it was doing soooo good. I was using a grow light bc my house is basically a dungeon 🙄 I was being super careful not to over water her and like I said she was doing great.. until.. like two months ago I made the terrible decision to repot, she obvi didn’t like that bc soon after she croaked. I was able to save about 10 strands and am currently trying to root them up.

Oh no. I’m confident that String of Hearts doesn’t need to be repotted if they’re doing well and growing healthy. They like to be more root bound since their roots are also shallow and more threadlike. Good thing you were able to save some strings. 🤞🏼

I find that the lighting is crucial to growth of the leaves combined with watering, BUT to stimulate the plant to build “Tubers” or new strands I mist My Baby. It keeps the leaves moist but most noticeably it activates the nods with moisture and that with the light brings new growth. Also if You have a “Bald head with Dreadlocks” plant, mist the leaves and stems and that will encourage the nodes to grow. The “Tubers” then cascade down making the plant fuller. Also I have had success simply sticking the stem with the node in the moist soil. After a while, 2-3 weeks the roots are formed and starts growing. As long as You keep the essentials, She will grow. Your Baby is beautiful. That plants are Living Beings I’ve given most of Mines names. Each has a different story and Character. I’ve named My Baby RAPUNZEL. Thanks for the video and info. ✌🏿

I have a variegated string of hearts that I had under it's own grow light (a knockoff aerogarden with just the lights going, SOH in a small pot just set on the top surface) and it FLOURISHED. Nodes were super close together, leaves were getting fairly large and full, absolutely stunning pink colors coming through. A few months later I put the aerogarden thing away and moved it to my plant cabinet, and all the new growth since has been anemic and leggy. I'm going to chop and prop the new growth and put it back under a bright grow light. These little guys can handle much much more light than most of my other houseplants and even seem to thrive in it.

This video was SO well done! Love it!

Thank you for your previous SOH care video… now I managed to grow SOH healthily and beautifully. I got bright indirect light ~ west facing balcony in tropical climate and it does get dry rather quickly but I managed to control the watering frequency… thank you ❤️❤️❤️

I got my SOH as a 2' cutting its now growing at a crazy pace. Where it has dropped 1 leaf the plant shoots a new section of vine. Lol I am still so in love with it. Yours has me setting goals 😁 Mine is under a bloom 1000 grow light, 4 1/2' away give or take.

In my experience, this is one of the easiest houseplants out there. I’ve had one for over twenty years. It’s moved with me several times, been cut back completely more times than I can remember - I have no patience for de-tangling, and they grow so fast anyway. I had it in a shallow clay pot, in a room with a skylight, and let it dry out completely between waterings. Sometimes I move it outside for the summer. Mostly I ignore it. Since they became trendy and are now ridiculously expensive, I divided mine to share with 2 other people. It was time for a repotting anyway. All three of the “new” plants are doing great. I also started some leaf and stem cuttings as an experiment. No way in hell am I paying $20 for a stem cutting of this plant, that is just ridiculous. You used to be able to buy a 10” hanging basket full at Lowe’s for less than that.

It always fascinates me how something like house plants can go in and out of style. I took my 4 year old daughter to the garden center to try and shake some winter blues today and she wanted one so bad. The fuller 6in string of hearts was $40. I was floored. So I compromised and got her the $8.99 2in pot that had 3 strings in it 😂 I figured we can use it as a teaching experience on how to propogate and how to be patient.

@geslinam9703

@@dobaleedo don’t worry, they grow very quickly. Put it in a bright spot, hopefully where it will get light directly to the top of the plant. For the winter months, I put a plant light bulb in the fixture over my kitchen sink, and have mine hanging there under it, where the light shines on the tops of the plants. If it only gets light on the side hanging pieces, the leaves will die off at the top and the plant won’t be as attractive…..and always under water. Don’t wait until it’s bone dry, especially with a young plant, but don’t water until it feels dry. This will require checking frequently, but that is important with plants. You have to love and care enough about them to check them frequently, every couple days. I’m trying to teach my niece this right now. When it feels dry and the pot gets a very light weight feeling, time to water, and do so sparingly. More plants die from over than under watering, especially succulents. Putting the plant in a bright indirect spot outside in the summer always makes them happy too! I hope your daughter enjoys her little plant, and that it grows well for her. I didn’t have much luck with stem cuttings. I think with this plant, you need mature cuttings that are growing little tubers along the stems.

Great video, thanks very much for sharing. I love my string of hearts and am always trying to improve my care for it. Thanks for the tips . Do you know why sometimes the lawer leaves be one smaller? Is it water issue or light?

Your sting of hearts is beautiful 🥰 I wish I knew how to add a pic or vid. I'm in Western Australia Perth. I have taken to the propergation(?) method of allowing the mother plant grow into another pot, placed under it. I have had much success with this. I would love for you see my verigated string/s of hearts. I grow all of mine outside, even thought it's freezing here atm! 🥶 The biggest problem I get with my string of hearts (& some of my other succulants) is mealy bug! I HATE these things! I think of them as 'plant nits' (head lice 🤢) they really Grose me out! So from time to time I get my cotten tip out & my isopropyl alcohol & dab that around. It is a bit of an ongoing issue, especially in winter. Happy growing ☘

I got mine really tiny a few months ago. It only had 3 vines which were about 4-5 inches long. I keep it in a southeast facing window, it’s close to the glass. I live in a hot humid environment. I water whenever the pot feels light when I hold it. I love it because the underside of the hearts are a beautiful purple color. One of the vines started stretching really long so I cut it and stuck it in the soil and it seems to still be growing! But the pot is only 2 inches so I have a feeling I need to repot it soon to a larger pot.

Started to detangle my string of hearts when I was watching this video just about when you first uploaded, finally done now. Thanks for the vid, I'll try following the tips and get a healthy pot or two of string of hearts :)

Hai, I saw your channel unexpectedly when I was searching for the care of string of heart, I live in Belgium from last year.I am very much interested in gardening but in a rental apartment I have limitations so started to grow some indoor plants but I had no idea about which one is indoor which is outdoor. And buying plants are also one of the difficulty I faced as it's very expensive I can't able to afford it. So I ask my friends and collegues for plants, in that way I got string of heart I put that in water for propogation and it's rooting
