Houseplant Update | My String of Hearts

[@cokerainbows]

I've had my first string of hearts now for 18 years. First got it when i was 12, first house plant and now i have 42 plants, another on the way :D

[@leanacecelia9201]

Omg one of my favorite plants! I'm shocked I dont see these in stores more often because the grow like CRAZY & propagate about as easy as a pothos

[@comfortablynumb8832]

Can you propitiate in October?

[@evachappell8091]

I have a Southwest facing window and my string of hearts cuttings literally started rooting in water in a few days... such sun lovers! Hope my babies end up as big as your plant!!!

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

Attempt #2. lol. I'm sure those that saw this video earlier noticed my little editing hiccup in the beginning. hehehe. My bad! Here is the video again, hopefully you still enjoy it again and comment and like away. :)

[@bakeandcookwithA]

Crazy Plant Guy HAHA. Yeah, when I noticed you deleted the vid, I knew it was because of the beginning of the video. 😁

[@GreenFireflyGirl]

thanks for reposting, I started watching it, and 3 minutes in the video disappeared!

[@juliannavaldes3818]

I never knew I needed this plant until this video. It is absolutely gorgeous

[@Oakleaf700]

That is the BEST String of hearts ever. And so WELL BEHAVED!...not a tangle in sight. {My guys take note} ..If I move them they tangle just to be a tease. My guys just whispered 'Listen to him! put us in a lighter room in winter'

[@spiderbouquet3670]

I finally got my hands on one of these 6 weeks ago. It has grown over a foot since then!

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

Wow. That’s awesome growth. They’re fast growers once they get going. Congrats. 😊

[@carpediem.9]

Your string of hearts is not a string of hearts it's a freaking CURTAIN of hearts hahah :) I have a small variegated one, knowing how tangled these can get you had a LOT of patience to untangle that whole plant O_o

Thank you , I’m going to give this ago . I’m down under in Australian. So when you say to place in a south window I refer that to a north window . I get confused often so I hope I’ve can get it right ,cheers , Jennifer

I just bought a variegated one for £15 at the plant stall on the local town market! It's about 2ft! But not nearly as plush as yours is! I'm totally in love with it 🥰

[@carmenwhitehead]

Wow, it has grown so much, it's almost touching the floor! This plant is definitely on my "want list". Thanks so much for sharing Christian, always enjoy your videos!

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

Thanks Carmen. Hope you find one soon and add it to your collection. :)

[@KiaraIrie]

It’s so beautiful. I literally got into plants like a week ago but seeing him in all your videos really has me wanting one. The thing is I feel like that plant is for more intermediate or advanced plant people. I feel like I gotta work my way up to it. Plus the $$ 😬

[@jessk6300]

Also so happy to have found a Toronto plant lover that is on KZbin ! I'm from Brampton!

[@nibiruthecat7652]

I propagated alot of s.o.h recently... funny thing is they kept slipping down inside the jar.... after trying over and over to get them to sit half emerged I gave up and put the entire of the strings in the water completely. They kept growing even though they were not exposed to the air..... instead of 2 nodes each string developed huge root nodes the ENTIRE way across the stems.... meaning each stem had about 8-10 nodes. They literally went berserk!! I couldnt believe how much better they propagated being fully submerged instead of emersed I will definitely be doing it that way in future 😁💚

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

That's awesome. I think I'll try doing the same thing next time. :) Thanks for sharing.

Micaela Presley it went soo well! I ordered on a Monday (I live in New York) and it arrived here in 2 days. Their shipping is great, they stay in contact with you, and they offer heat packs too. They also tend to have 20% off coupons and sales going on. I’ve bought from them multiple times and the plants always come in pristine condition.

[@MickeyAnne97]

Matt Malkie awesome!! Thanks so much!

[@jtxp]

Can you do a video on caring tips for normal string of hearts and the variegated and the comparison

[@jackc1320]

Gorgeous plant! I have a variegated variety that is making some progress but it will be years before it is anywhere near what your plant is! A suggestion to make the entire column lush. Instead of cutting the vines as you did at a given level, wouldn't it be advantageous to trim vines at various levels so as to create more growth points at various levels rather than at the same one? Might not yield as many cuttings at one time but I think it might distribute the fulness and with time, the entire column would be thicker. Just an idea. Going to try it on mine once it starts cascading and using the cuttings as you suggested to make a fuller pot. Thanks for the tips.

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

Jack C Yes that’s a very good suggestion. Cutting them at various levels to create a more cascading look. I’m actually going to try it as well when o repot this guy this summer.

One question I always wondered - is it important to untangle? Or is it just aesthetics?

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

Lake Effect Plant Lover hmm great question. I’m not sure. Although it’s probably more for aesthetics, I also do think they will grow better when the Hearst have room to grow and not covered by other hearts or restricted when they are tangled. Know what I mean?! 😊

[@t0nibear]

Thank you so much for this! This video couldn’t have come out at a better time! 3 weeks ago, I purchased a variegated string of hearts and kept it directly on my south facing window sill in my bedroom. My only concern though is that when I first picked it up at the nursery, the newer leafs felt thin but hard enough to hold its shape. I would say the past week the bottom leaves have started to curl inwards and some of the leafs started to get paler in colour, not that vibrant pink it was when I first bought it. The leaves also started to feel very delicate & tender. The soil was dry so I watered it 3 days ago but I’m still experiencing the same curling and tenderness it was before watering. Am I over thinking it? I have a non variegated string of hearts I keep at my boyfriends and just now I’m also experiencing the tender and curled leafs on the bottom, after having them straight and firm since I first bought it almost two months ago. PS love your videos. Because of you I was able to pick up some plants at 21 seven and keep them alive 😄

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

Hmm If you recently got it, it's possible that the plant is a bit shock from the change of environment. When you got the plant from the nursery was it in an area that got a lot of south facing light?. Also if you have it right close to a south facing window that may be too much light for a small plant, so I would suggest maybe placing it back a bit, maybe 2-5 feet away.

[@maeflores7077]

Hi! I just bought one online because I fell in love with your SOH. I got one that is 5ft long BUT it only has ONE string. And I don't know exactly what to do next to make it look like a curtain (should I cut it and plant it back at the same pot? should I cut and propagate in water first?) I don't want to buy another one cause it's quite pricey and hard to find now. I'd rather be patient and do the long route :)

[@fluffyanne2396]

I just bought my first 6 inch string of hearts plant. 59.99$ plus 13% sales tax. Wow am I crazy! I live in SW Ontario Canada

[@onyxm00n]

I love you vibe and videos!! I've had a string of hearts for about 2 months now. I just watered it the other day when the big top leaves got bendy. I've watered it about 3 times total after letting it completely dry out. I adore it and don't want it to die! I know it's been doing well because it has a ton of growth compared to the ones remaining at my nursery, but the leaves are less than half the size of the mature ones and some are curling. Any advice?

[@judemda2232]

same here :(

[@jessk6300]

When trimming the string of hearts, do you cut as close to the node as possible? Or do you cut in between the two nodes (like the long space in between each leaf)? My string of hearts is super long and probably in need of a trim and I've never actually trimmed it before!

[@charrred]

I'm wondering this too! 👀

[@zerglilngvet5428]

Hey question :) I have SOH growing and everything looks good. What is really noticeable is that lots of flowers come out! Each pair of leaves produces at least one flower and sometimes 2 and 3 flowers. Does this indicate that the plant is healthy? Thanks for all the info

[@sa00287]

What do you do with your progated plants? Do you put them back into your original plant pot?

[@lu8201]

You can. Or you can start a new pot with the tiny propagation and add to it as they grow.

[@laurachapin204]

Cutting down low for propagation created a fuller look down low. What about pinching the stems while they are quite young to make it fuller top to bottom?

[@indoorIvan]

I've cut mine further up and it's done well. Just make sure that the top of the pot gets ample light, not just the dangling strands!
