In this video I share with you my care tips and secrets on how to care and grow the String of Hearts, everything from the lighting, watering and soil medium requirements to the different propagation methods I do to help promote a nicer, fuller and thicker String of Hearts.

In Australia, where this plant is actually native, you need to grow it in a *North* facing window if growing indoors. Sometimes people forget there's a whole southern half of the planet called the Southern hemisphere 😵‍💫

[@anwarallie]

😅true. I’m in South Africa and North facing windows are best for my plants

[@bluebird635]

We remember Hannah!! I am happy for YOUR insights. I just moved my SOH from a north-facing window (with woods nearby) to an east-facing window. (with lots of light plus a tree slightly off-center of it)...and have grow lights. Hoping for the best.

I got my string of hearts after loving yours and putting it on my wish list. I found it at my local nursery off by itself in a 2 inch pot with about 2 or 3 rough vines. I’ve had him for about 4 months, he’s much happier and I’m trying propagating... headed to about 8 vines now... process. ♥️

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

Lizz Keiper that’s awesome. Great to read that yours is doing well and doubling up your vines through propagation. 😊

[@CousinJennie]

I let my beautiful string of hearts die and as I sadly took it out to the trash I found one tiny living string with half a dozen leaves on it - I have done what you said and put it in water and am crossing my fingers like mad hoping it will grow - you have reassured me that I will probably have success!!! Thank you!! ❤

[@tamara55782]

1st time plant owner here & we have 3 special, very meaningful string of hearts babies that we got as beautiful gifts from a really wonderful friend of ours.. 🪴 Thank you so much for your video & advice on how to look after these plant babies 🙏🏾 Our string of heart babies has a very special job ahead of them, once their established.. Will be sprinkling a little bit of our very beloved pets ashes into each of them so our beloved sweet Benji Baby will still grow & thrive through our plant babies.. Our Benji Baby was always full of love to any1 and every1 especially to kids, literally to the end of his time & we feel that these string of hearts plant babies are him all over, just in plant versions of him.. They surround his ashes now as babies until they grow big, they'll be like his own little beautiful curtains 🪴🐶💖

In my life Nobody has explained a plants need of light so well. People always say x plant needs plenty of light , but not direct! I’m like what ???? 😤 but it’s So simple , you say “You have to make sure the plant has a good view of the sky” . Thanks so much 🙂 now I know I’m doing it right 👍

[@LoisyAbigail]

I love putting these guys under a couple hours of direct sunlight - it intensifies the purple coloration which is just gorgeous. So yeah, my SoH never burned even under intense Manila summer temps. In my experience, the variegated SoH loves sun even more.

[@ChrisDelChris]

Man is up here flexing with his plant harder than I’ve ever been able to about anything.

[@biancajacobo7366]

Mine is currently flowering and I've only had her since February. When I got her she was completely in the pot and now she's really long 😍. Not as long as yours though Christian. Hopefully one day soon. She really likes my west facing window even with the overhang outside. I will say to anyone that can get to San Diego California. If you want a string of hearts there are places here you can get them for a reasonable price. Cordova Gardens in Encinitas has 6 inch pots for 18bucks(last I checked) and they do carry variegated. I bought my two small variegated pots for 10bucks each there. I've also seen regular soh sold at Kobe's Swap Meet for 25 for a 6inch. Hope that helps someone. I know online prices can get crazy. Spread the plant love peeps 🌱🚿✌🏼

Bianca Jacobo awesome. Thanks for sharing how yours is doing and where to find them in SD. 😊

[@-Annn-]

I want to get a string of hearts for in my bedroom. The place I have in mind would be 8 feet from my west facing window. Could this be an issue, not enough light?

Thanks Bianca for the information. I live in Mira Mesa and I wonder that do you keep your SOH indoor or outdoor. Thanks in advance for your reply.

[@biancajacobo7366]

@@-Annn- Hello, I believe you can have them at that distance with a grow light. Probably not with regular lighting unless you have very bright light in that location. I use to have mine directly in my west facing window with an overhang but with winter here it wasn't getting enough light and was dropping a few leaves so i had to get supplemental lighting.

[@myducks911]

My normal SOH goes outside on a west facing porch to hang for spring-early fall. Then gets brought inside for winter and hangs 5-8 feet from and East window next to a grow light. It absolutely loves being outside but does just fine for me over winter. I also have a Silver Glory and Variegated SOH. Everyone told me before buying them that they go dormant during the winter, but all of my SOH continue to grow pretty well through the winter.
