String of Hearts is one of my favorite indoor plants in my collection. Growing your chain of hearts to make it fuller and lusher, comes down to the basic care needs. 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.

Our new house doesn't have much light except a few spots. Thanks for sharing this video with us! I love propagating it, took me a while to get the hang of it but finally got it lol.

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 🪴🐶💖

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.

@biancajacobo7366 3 жыл бұрын

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.
