How to Propagate String of Hearts (Ceropegia woodii)

There are a few ways to propagate Ceropegia woodii or String of Hearts, but this is how I have found great success with it. You can skip the water and go right for soil, if you’d like. Thanks for watching!

I LOVE that you give an update on the propagation with the exact amount of days. That is really helpful and you are literally one of the only gardening channels that does that. Thank you so much from your newest subscriber! :)

[@krystynag.6642]

OOOOOOMG. This is SO funny!!! I ordered two Senecio Macroglossus on Etsy and just received them today along with a beautiful gift of string of hearts cuttings. So I looked them up to see how to care for them and stumbled across this video and I was like wait.... Your name is familiar...looked on my invoice, Yep, I got them from you!!! Lmao! I didn't know you had a KZbin! How serendipitous and awesome. Thank you so much for the beautiful plants and great KZbin vids!

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Hahaha! That’s so funny 😂 I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed the extra surprise! This is one of my all time favorite plants for sure. And it grows so quick - In no time you’ll be able to make even more cuttings! Thank you again for ordering 🌿

[@krystynag.6642]

Nick Pileggi It seriously made my day! Thank you so much! I am a member of some "plant enthusiast's" groups and will definitely share your Etsy shop and KZbin with everyone! What soil do you recommend for the string of hearts??

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Krystyna G. Thank you so much! 🌿 They aren’t picky with soil, I’ve grown them in plain potting mix just fine but I like to add some extra perlite to my my soil usually

[@leanacecelia9201]

Ugh I keep telling myself no more plants but I NEED this one 😂

[@NickPileggiPlants]

It’s one of my favorites!

[@NJ-mm8fh]

[@Autumn-rj3cr]

I really like that you gave an update AND showed you putting these in soil. Thank you!

[@StaceyHerewegrowagain]

I absolutely love this plant. So gorgeous in so many ways. I finally found and purchased one of these a few weeks ago. I wanted to grow it in memory of my grandparents, so I'm really happy I found it. Of course, I'm already looking to propagate this beauty 💕🍃💕 Thanks for sharing this video with us.

[@StaceyHerewegrowagain]

Great video, very informative and to the point. Much appreciated. You have a great collection of plants

[@HarryElwell123]

Hi Nick, I just wanted to say I watched this video months ago and today finally plucked up the courage to try my hand at propagation for the first time with my string of hearts. Thanks for all the great videos, they're so helpful for us clueless beginners!

[@sakura-4375]

sei bravissimo Nick...grazie mille per il video 💚🌱🪴🌻🌿

[@BehindTheMoons]

Thank you! I've just cut a few vines, I never know where to cut to propagate my houseplants. I really liked how clear and concise your explanations where, glad I found your video and your channel! 🌱

[@marcus4440]

Great advice on rooting extras by curling the string around inside the pot after planting!

[@ronhobbs8038]

Omg you are adorable and full of Plant knowledge.

[@dorit8712]

Thanks So much for this!! Love how straight forward your video is! most of the propagation videos I found are full of so much unnecessary blabla. :D

[@milskypoynter8970]

This is the most concise, informative and lovely video I’ve seen on this! You’re amaZing I love u already! Xxx

[@mimakate]

Thanks Nick! I adore string of hearts,. I got 2 new variegated ones and now Im obsessed! 😍

[@anitajones7090]

Thank you I just got some cuttings from a plant shop and I wasn't sure how to propagate. The worker said to lay it across some potting soil, but that didn't seem right. Thanks Nick.

[@PinayCanadaTV]

Thanks for sharing, because I have 2from my Sister in faith 😍 New Friend at Canada

Most helpful video I found on string of hearts -Thanks Nick!

[@jessicagomez6401]

[@HealingLuckyOfficial]

I clicked this video because your string of hearts looked the most beautiful!! Thanks for a great video. Have just done your exact method so fingers crossed in 4 weeks I hope they are good enough to pot! ☺

[@aaron32608]

Thank you for your video it’s been the best explained I was sooo upset I’d kill my cuttings yesterday great explanation!

[@julespw]

Thank you. I'm going to have a go myself now 😊

[@carmenwhitehead]

You make it look so easy Nick! I will definitely check out your Etsy shop!

[@tr2726]

Carmen Whitehead Hey Carmen...just started watching your videos...along with Nick's. I love the plant-loving community on you-tube. You guys do an awesome job!!

I started using the pins and woks well

[@saletisilvasantos8914]

Que legal enraizado na água o coração emaranhado muito bom amei seu vídeo 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 muito joinha são Paulo Guaianases

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Once this plant get growing, it really grows!! 🌿

[@carolinasahagun6297]

Thanks 4 explaining everything so well. You just got a new subscriber.

[@dinaringhansen3]

This video is awesome, thank you! Creating babies for the third time with the help of this video ☺️

[@cowboy10231]

Very nice looking plant :) I just propagated my string of pearls today, it was about 4ft long. Going to have to get a string of hearts now :) And I must say, you are a very handsome guy ;)

[@lizamena9124]

Thank you so much! Now I can start my own propagation! Awesome!

[@hibiscusangel7376]

Oh I keep all of the hearts in water and it keeps growing roots on each heart ♥️ I should try this leaving the hearts out

[@daizyzajac575]

This was my dream plant I had been looking since summer 2019 i found it on June 5th 2020 she is variegated and gorgeous she has grown 7inches

[@ae107]

This is amazing!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge ❤️

[@misottovoce]

I love these plants and finally located another two (first one died...too much water I think). Now I know how to propagate them thanks to your video!

[@marygorchidsmore2058]

Very nicely demonstrated! They look so beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Thank you!! Thanks for watching 🌿

[@tabithamartin7498]

I have killed these 3x. Hoping it works this time with your tips! Thank you!

[@allwaysgrowingvlogs5539]

Nice job!! I've always propagated by simple layering and separating the bulbous roots that form underground at each node. This is a nice alternative if you don't mind removing the growing tips from your "mother" plant. (They regrow fairly easily, anyway...)

[@nobodynobody993]

Nice Plant Nick!

[@moniquecatalina1322]

Love your plants

[@carleneunderwood3869]

You’re amazing ! T H A N K 💚 Y O U for all your videos !

[@ChristinaCheung1]

Great video! I love my string of hearts but it's in desperate need of a haircut so I can't wait to start propagating my cuttings :)

[@StaceyHerewegrowagain]

I wish I would have found you a few weeks ago. I was looking everywhere to purchase this plant and couldn't find it, like at all.. the plants I did find, were so expensive and very very small. She's such a beauty your string of hearts💕 This plant reminds me of my grandparents so much! I have a few little cuttings I bought, but I would love a few more. Thanks for letting me know you sell this one. I'll be contacting you very soon on etsy. Do you happen to have the pepperomia prostrata turtle back? That's the other one I've been wanting.. I wanted to grow the hearts in memory of my grandma, and the turtle back in memory of my grandpa. I lost them both just a few months apart last yr and it really took a toll on us all. Thanks again for sharing💕

[@paulina_1753]

It’s very helpful since my ceropegia woodi variegata is coming to me and will probably want to make it fuller 😍

[@user-ke3vx9ub4b]

Hi Nick :) glad I just came across you via a google search. I'm new to indoor house plants (have become a bit addicted over this past fortnight, hahaa), and purchased myself a chain of hearts last weekend, in hopes of propagating them into candle pots that are within a wall hanging sconce. x - fingers crossed - x that they'll eventually grow in little glass votive pots? Thought it'd look really nice with them hanging down & along the wall. Anywho.. loved the straight forward and clear explanation in how to do this, thank you. All the best~ Andrea (from Adelaide, Australia :-p) Ps. will subscribe and keep an eye out on your videos.. as I have a lot to learn, being a newbie :")

[@darlenedybas9706]

Hi I’m just coming home from Florida and I found a Woodring in Sanibel island. I really enjoyed the video I’m going to have to check out your Etsy store for more plants in the future

[@David-zv9hz]

Nick querido!!Excelente Vídeo!😊🌱 Merece la pena destacar tu muy buen trabajo!! y ya me suscribí a tu canal de youtube! te mando un fuerte abrazo desde Uruguay!!MUCHAS GRACIAS!! Cariños,😊🌱 ,David

[@Wandering.Homebody]

Thank you so much for uploading! Brief, concise, informative, and just perfectly helpful. Did you say how often to change the propagating water? I started propagating halfway through watching, and now I m not sure if that part eluded me, ha ha ha. Anyhow, thanks so much, I thoroughly appreciate the effort of your video creation!!!

[@janetteruiz9347]

Uff i love my string of hearts! Definitely want to have a whole curtain of them lol

[@rosalindhansen9167]

This is so helpful, thank you!

[@epiwhittaker5617]

Wow, thank you for sharing

[@everosenthal2594]

So helpful, thank you! 🌱💓

[@davidcandia9184]

Beautiful ❤🌿

[@eringardner2086]

Might be a silly question, but the original vine that you took the cutting from will continue to grow, right? Some of my vines are getting really long so I’m thinking about propagating soon, but I want to make sure before I cut!

[@aadamaki2337]

i want to know too

[@sophiemaskell7215]

i want to know too, have you done this?

[@raydenzidane6]

Beautiful plant!

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Thanks, Ray!

[@HamsterLife_EnglishLearning]

Nice video and informative as always!! The Canadian store I bought mine at are $39.00 at was Cactus en ligne if you are also Canadian. In a 4 inch pot. But their website don't do them justice. Far prettier and fuller then the picture. As are many of their plants. I got the Hoya Kerrii Variegated and it had 8 large 2.5 wide by 3.5 long leafs and fully round in a circle in a 6 inch pot with soil. They leave dry for weeks before sending and so there it is lighter. If you buy $75.00 worth of plants you get free shipping for as many plants as you order. I got my Jade bonsai,, and string of tears they sent me instead of string of pearls. So I requested what I ordered in the picture. So make sure you email them not to do the same to you and send you string of tears not pearls I also ordered , Hoya Kerri Variegated and not variegated, Philodendron Pink Princess, Diffenbachia Camille, ZZ Zamioculcas plants so far from them. I got mine in January and we have 4 seasons here. So they do ship in mid January. don't order Hoya in the cold weather though. January is too cold for them being so sensitive. I asked this time round for my plants not to be shipped until after it is warmer.

[@thomashenryproductions9460]

Fab video thank you 🌱💗

[@Vane-gv8zy]

Estava pesquisando sobre esta planta e nunca vi nenhuma assim tão linda!Parabéns

[@tr2726]

No se lo que dice, pero me gusta... 😊

[@SonasTerraceGarden]

Nice video

[@CarolinaStein]

Hi Nick! Thank you for this video, I have a string of hearts, but I think I water it a lot, so it started to die, I'll try to let it drier now!

[@wolfbeam3915]

I love String of Hearts, but I think I over-loved mine and it died. I'll definitely have to try it again in future!

[@Anonymous-bv7rg]

Wow I almost didn’t realize this was you!

[@kamelinkassit]

Thankyou for the video😊🌱 i'm gonna try to take some cuttings of my string of hearts

[@winawina2898]

Hi Nick, I love your channel, thanks for creating such delightful videos. I am curious to see how are your propagated babies doing few months after they (String of Hearts, Pilea, etc) are re-potted. I have been successful in water propagation for those 2 plants, however they didn't survive after I moved them to soil. They tend to look like as if they dried-out. Appreciate to receive tips on how much/less water or lights babies need in comparison to the matured plant.

[@crazy4shuz]

Gorgeous, I've been checking your shop in case you restock :)

[@frannnlife]

Love this!! I’m going to try it out!!

[@kk-ed6sk]

This video is very helpful! Thank you!!

[@nikkicueto]

Thanks for the information! I

[@fionabryant2311]

I love the chain of heart plants. Can you tell me do you take cuttings off the ends only or can you use one long strand and make several cuttings out of it?

[@ryancaravana7094]

Can those cuttings be planted back in their mother plant’s pot?

[@bekka8256]

Very helpful! Thank you!!

[@kristinkirgan3359]

How do you get yours to grow so full? A lot of pictures I see online and they're really stringy looking.

[@Crystal020186]

Light

[@Jon.Alexander]

More single plants/strings per pot perhaps? That's what I'm planning to do with mine, and that's how you do it with vining philodendrons

[@tr2726]

I will definitely try this!!thank you 🤗

[@ToxiicMikez]

I just bought one, I wanna make it more fuller, so do u propergate them then add them back into the original pot to make them fuller?

[@notabratbutsad]

My grandpa has this one is his living room. I'll definitely butcher it next time.

[@christinanicole4907]

Would you put cuttings directly into the soil? Or is water first recommended?

[@SoulofaSeeker]

Hi there, thank you for your video! Have you ever left your string of hearts in water? I didn't know if they were similar to pothos in that they can survive there happily? Thanks again! L

[@clementines8282]

I have a VSOH I got for free. Hoping it’ll be okay to pot soon

[@Danrowl]

OMG 😍😍😍

[@samazoid]

came here for the plant tips staying because we need to date???

[@maunster3414]

Precious.

[@Lucrecia1.3]

Hola. Te pido que nos enseñes como plantar, cuidar, reproducir, etc., la planta con agujeros en sus hojas, que se ve detras de tu hombro izquierdo, en la primera parte del video, cuando tu estas con las tijeras. Atras tuyo se ve una cama. No se como se llama la planta. I write you in spanish beacause I don' t know to speak well in english. I will try. In this video, when you are with the scissors, behind your left shoulder, there is a plant with holes in its leaves. I have one from 20 years ago, it grows, it has 3 or 4 meters, but always loses all his leaves, it has only 2 or 3 allways. I want to know how to help it to be well. I ask you information about it, to teach me/us. Thank you from Uruguay!

[@MelissaSkates71]

I just got this one I love it and I need more so thanks for this video for propagating

[@simarabie322]

Hi Nick, great video thanks, could u quickly advise the type of soil for propagation in soli again? Just wanna be sure

[@rebeccastephenson4921]

Hello! Just watched your video! Very helpful, I’m cutting as we speak :) quick question tho???? The balls that appear on the vine? What are these and what should I do with them? Thank you x

[@mariedelmar9429]

Thank you.

[@LiamGower]

Hi Nick, when you move them to soil, do you water the soil a little bit or should I wait a few days maybe?

[@CrazyCountess]

I put the little balls on the stems in water and I get roots the next day.

[@dojumlollen1167]

Thank you sooooo mch

[@elizabethluke8844]

Could I take my cuttings, skip rooting them in water, and just plop them right into soil to root?

[@almamejorado3600]

Súper hermoso

[@stephenj7137]

omg..you were so young

[@MACat1stSight]

Love your videos btw! Also, what soil mix do you use for your string of hearts?
