This is exactly how my string of hearts project is going 💀 First plant for my tiny apartment, so I had to buy: - the plant - the pot - two giant bags of gravel and soil that didn't come in a smaller size - tools and nails to hang the macrame (I made it so free.99 except I also have a money-sucking crochet hobby the yarn came from) ...I try not to think of the expenses

SIR! Respect!!!! I finally bit the bullet and got a string of hearts yesterday, after YEARS of coveting them. Of course I came to YT for help and found Christian’s video. Very helpful. Today, searching for more help I found your video. So funny but also very educational. I don’t know if I’m that patient though 😭 I may try your method with a few cuttings and not the whole plant. I paid about $18 for a 4” pot. I have 40+ plants but somehow this one intimidates me to no end 😩 wish me luck!

“…and literal minutes of planning…” 😂😂😂 I love your content. Glad I found your channel! Question: why do my string of hearts break off if I breathe on them?

Plants hate breath. That's probably a watering based root issue, maybe pests. either way that vine is likely dying.

Love the realization of the crafters lament (applies to planty things too I find) - why spend $65 for a plant when you can spend $100 to do it yourself! Still, you gave me excellent ideas for me and my “string of arrows”. I water prop mostly but that moss “bowl” might be my next trick to get more bang for my patience!

This is some serious commitment to producing a video for this long, I think I would've lost the footage meanwhile. Anyway, it ended up looking stunning!!

I'm an old planty person that loves propagating and I've never had success with the variegated Chain-of-Hearts in the water method. I wrap mine around the surface of the pot and pin them lightly to the soil. That way, if they don't take, then I've lost nothing. Love your channel. Keep up the good work.

I pinned pretty long vine and it rooted only one new vine somewhere in the middle, now I’m kinda stuck with it and no more place in the pot to pin more😅 I think I’ll cut around the one which rooted and try the moss though, just waiting for the spring :)

I had big trouble with string of hearts, I know they're supposed to be kept dry, but I had to keep them in a moist environment for a year. Seems like the plant is sold newly propagated, and it's first now, where they have developed bulbs, that it thrives without extra care. So it might be because it doesn't have enough root system to retain lack of moisture, before it has developed the bulbs.

I've been trying to make my string of hearts look like his for two years, this method is way more efficient than what I've been doing lol.

the fillipino guy bought his pretty much like that lol.

And this right here is why I stopped trying to save money on just buying baby plants and growing them up, because for me in addition to all this he showed I have the issue of sometimes being a bad plant mommy and so there’s the added expense of killing off a couple of the cheaper baby plants before I can really get one going. There is also the most important cost - precious time. At this point I just want to enjoy having the plants I really want, and my house looking the way I want right now, not years from now. Plus I feel like when I spend a bit more I’m more motivated to take care of the plant more carefully. This was a hilarious and fun video though and your SoH looks beautiful in the end 🤗😂

well thats what the filipino guy did. he bought his pretty big already lol.

I wanted string of hearts soooo bad, 3-4 years ago. And I just got rid of it...I got tired, it grows like crazy. I kid you not, about a foot a month. All of my co-workers got cuttings of this plant from me. The pot was hanging all the way to the ceiling and it kept on growing. So basicaly, for me it was a space issue. I was cutting it every month or two, just to keep it at bay. So easy to propagate, I did it in water.

I started mine in coconut coir with a bit of pearlite added. It never stays waterlogged and still retains enough moisture to cover the lazy days. You can also just coil the vines around inside the pot and lightly cover, with no need to take cuttings. Here in Perth Western Australia, the vines from my outdoor hanging basket reach the ground and root in the soil below. There are always plenty of ferals snaking off into the garden if I need new plants. I adjust the length of the hanging basket vines with hedge shears, which also thickens the plant up nicely.

Haha love your humor. I also refuse to pay more for something I can grow myself even if it means I pay more in the log run, the knowledge and power to do it myself is priceless😄

"Let's talk problems with this method: there are no problems and this will work out perfectly." Gold lmao

When you began adding I was like no, buddy, don't do that 😂 but you got this awesome story about how you used basically 100 propagations and that's super impressive!🌱

I've been trying to keep the same tiny variegated string of hearts alive for years. Every time I think it's going well, part of it dies. (I'll admit, I'm not as meticulous with watering schedules as I should be.) You're definitely on to something with the moss. I'm going to give that a try. Thanks so much for your videos!

THE END HAD ME ROLLING, i love your energy and humor

I was given a 10 cm string of hearts about 3 years’ ago. I now have 2 big plants from that plus a healthy bag of sphagnum with a load more rooted babies. I’ve found that piling it up on itself gives a more lush plant. It is a crawler. It is not supposed to hang and drape. Plant it under other tall plants. It will create a beautiful carpet. Take cuttings and root in water to make lots of plants and have some as drapers if you want. You can propagate this endlessly. It gets bigger leaves if it is in slight,y lower light I find. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s trying to maximize photosynthesis?

I think it’s more fun to grow than just buy ❤

Thank you for inspiring me to do the same! My string of hearts is like 8 feet long. Today it gets cut...💚😎💚

These years in the making videos are the best! As a modern person living in the good year 2024 I am severely allergic to waiting, so it's nice to see everything happen in one video. Also the editing and scripts are really clever. Please don't let that go to your head. Anyway, I came to rewatch this video because I'm about to start my journey for one hell of a string of hearts, I hope it won't take several years :)

I'm not sure if string of hearts works the same as a string of turtles but I've been able to start plants from single nodes and even leaves, though with leaves there is a lower success rate. Moss definitely works better for rooting them than water or soil though

I'm amazed at the dedication this video took!
