String of Hearts Care + Propagation | Houseplant Care Tips
In this video I share my care tips for the String of Hearts, also called, Chain of Hearts or Rosary Vine and its botanical name the Ceropegia Woodii.
I’m also going to propagate the String of Hearts through cuttings and water. When the roots have grown, I will plan mail him to a few of my IG followers to share the love.
The String of Hearts is one of the most popular and trendy houseplants today. Really easy to care for and even easier to propagate. Enjoy

@@CrazyPlantGuy do you know if you can put tubers in water? Or will they rot? I have a big tuber on one of mine thats connected to a sohs thats like 4 foot long but the roots are very small. Got it from someone and trying to save this guy. Any advice would be amazing. Thank you so much!
I spent like 15 minutes untangling my string of hearts today. I plan on water propagating and this is insanely helpful!
I like it when you say “ cut these two hearts off” .... not 2 leaves off 😍❤️♥️
I've been watching your videos for hours and am deep on your page!! I love your plants and videos soo much, thanks so much for brightening my day and all your tips!
I love your videos!!! Would you be open to filming a video on what to do when you repot once the roots are long enough?
It makes me so happy when I hear about a thriving plant. I think I'm just happy they're being well (not) taken care of and happy.
Awesome video. I’m going to try this. There’s no need for apologies in the video. In my opinion it was well presented and informative. The way the glass vials were set up looked pristine and beautiful! Looking forward to more 😊😊

This video is great. I’ve been rooting a 4 leave string of hearts cutting. Now it’s growing it’s 7th leaf, and 3 roots but I’ll wait till they’re longer before I plant them in soil. Thanks for the tips!
Another great way to propagate them is by the tubers. You just lay them on some soil and they will grow a complete new plant. My string of hearts had 5-6 tubers on only one string, so I cut the whole thing off and placed it in a circular shape into a new pot, if that makes sense.

@alexza03 They grow little round parts along the string, hence the other common name, rosary vine, and those are the tubers they mean. You can cut above those and lay those on the soil. You can do the wrap of the string on the soil to get nodes to root too but keep the strand rooted and do that rather than cut it and wrap, if that makes sense. That's worked better on mine.
Thank you for all your tips and specially that verigated one! What a beauty!
Hello, Your this gorgeous hanging inspired me lots. I will look for this plant. Excellent. Thanks for sharing. Zz from Canada 🇨🇦
Thank You for clarifying steps in propagating this beautiful plant!
Fantastic video! Very straightforward and informative. Thank you for sharing!!
I just bought two little string of hearts in my local garden centre and one looked so full, but it was actually a bunch of loose strands sitting on top of the soil and only two strands that had roots. So now i have them all sitting in water. The waiting begins. I love your videos 💕

Thanks so much for sharing. Just follow your propagation advice. Finger crossed for my plants.
Great tips! I found it helpful to know you should allow quite a bit of root growth before planting . Last winter I couldn’t find this plant anywhere even online so I ordered seeds. I was doubtful but they did grow and I now have a plant with approximately 16-18 inch strings. I’m going to propagate a few soon to bulk it up a bit. Thanks!

I Love the way it does look specially the long vines of your string of heart. Only this summer started collecting plants. IM a fan of yours how you take care of your plants... its my stress reliever right now... cross fingers that they stay with me for years too. As I leave in Fort Saint John BC and right now we do have a thick snow here and its freezing cold...
Excellent video. Thanks
thank you!! I only wish this video existed before I drown my first string of hearts (and having no idea I could save some cuttings...) I did just found another one after months of waiting and I'll be following your tips. one question though: does it like to be rootbound/in a small pot, just like the hoyas?
Great advice. Enjoyed the video.
Thanks for the video it helped me a ton!
Keep coming back to your videos so had to subscribe 😊
I watched this in Lockdown about 5 months ago after my string of hearts fell from a tiny high shelf slicing off half it's length in the radiator below.... Thanks to this video I now have two big pots full of new plants! I took cuttings and that romped away and made their funny little vase like flowers. I love them! Made some for Mum, too. Thanks very much. I tried layering, too...Both work well.

@@kaigonzalez-cruz2672 ..Look at your string of hearts... and you will see little 'Nodes' where leaves come out...Snip the leaves off...{look online to see} Loop the long string up and put the node{with snipped off leaves missing} slightly under the compost It will form roots...you can after a few months snip the loop to make two separate strings. NOW {Autumn in Northern hemisphere} isn't a good time to do it as the plant goes dormant, but if you are in the Southern Hemisphere...go ahead {lengthening days} There are instructions online for 'Layering' these plants.

This is so funny. Because of you I got one of these plants. It came in a pot the size of a shot glass and was only a few strands 6" long. Fast forward a few months and it's more than 3' long, and was taking over! I had to cut it back. I am trying to propagate it now so I can transplant it all to a bigger pot. This plant is a beast

Hi Christian! Let me know if I'm spelling your name wrong, I just discovered your channel. I ordered some succulents and cacti (obsessed) and was given two string of hearts cuttings as a gift. I might love the cuttings more than my order. Just followed your instructions. You communicated so clearly and well. If they sprout roots, you'll be the first I tell!

Thank you very helpful, I just received 4 cuttings from a highly rated seller on Ebay, in LA and it so happens that I purchased the heat pack as well, since I live in the northeast, well the seller sent the heat pack in a separete box that was tape to the box of that where the cutting were, not sure if the seller understand the kind of cold they can be exposed too, anyways, I just placed them in water for rooting, hope they all come back to looking better than they do now, thanks again
Nice, thank you for the information

Will try this method surely thanks
Great video thankyou!
Great video. Thanks.
I prefer to use sphagnum moss for propagating soh. I find that each cutting forms it's own little bulb & roots, therefore the cuttings have a much higher success rate. Often you will have to leave some moss on the roots when transferring to soil because the roots cling to the moss.
Beautiful plant n nice tips not getting nearby my place...hope in future I will HV those million of 💓.

This was really helpful. I wish I would of researched it before I tried rooting in soil. I bought 3 small cuttings from a lady near me for $5 a cutting. She told me just put in a pot with soil and spritz them and they will root after a few weeks. I’m praying it works but wish I would of done water propagation.
Magnificent plant behind you! My String of Hearts plant fell off his bracket and snapped half the length.....I need to propogate his broken bits! When it happened {4 days ago} O put the broken parts in compost, but will now do them properly in water....{they haven't wilted yet as I covered it with plastic bag} Ooh, I did it very wrong...I have about 50cm lengths in compost...Will salvage these today.
