Making Crazy Plant Guy's String of Hearts for $9
Рет қаралды 180,426
Жыл бұрынI really wanted to make Crazy Plant Guy's string of hearts put I didn't want to pay $65 outright for a plant. Using some plant propagation techniques learned from him and other KZfaqr's I decided to try and make my own.

SIR! Respect!!!! I finally bit the bullet and got a string of hearts yesterday, after YEARS of coveting them. Of course I came to YT for help and found Christian’s video. Very helpful. Today, searching for more help I found your video. So funny but also very educational. I don’t know if I’m that patient though 😭 I may try your method with a few cuttings and not the whole plant. I paid about $18 for a 4” pot. I have 40+ plants but somehow this one intimidates me to no end 😩 wish me luck!
@amh0013 Жыл бұрын
Love the realization of the crafters lament (applies to planty things too I find) - why spend $65 for a plant when you can spend $100 to do it yourself! Still, you gave me excellent ideas for me and my “string of arrows”. I water prop mostly but that moss “bowl” might be my next trick to get more bang for my patience!
@hedgewitch59 Жыл бұрын
I'm an old planty person that loves propagating and I've never had success with the variegated Chain-of-Hearts in the water method. I wrap mine around the surface of the pot and pin them lightly to the soil. That way, if they don't take, then I've lost nothing. Love your channel. Keep up the good work.

I pinned pretty long vine and it rooted only one new vine somewhere in the middle, now I’m kinda stuck with it and no more place in the pot to pin more😅 I think I’ll cut around the one which rooted and try the moss though, just waiting for the spring :)
@Galemor1 Жыл бұрын
I had big trouble with string of hearts, I know they're supposed to be kept dry, but I had to keep them in a moist environment for a year. Seems like the plant is sold newly propagated, and it's first now, where they have developed bulbs, that it thrives without extra care. So it might be because it doesn't have enough root system to retain lack of moisture, before it has developed the bulbs.

And this right here is why I stopped trying to save money on just buying baby plants and growing them up, because for me in addition to all this he showed I have the issue of sometimes being a bad plant mommy and so there’s the added expense of killing off a couple of the cheaper baby plants before I can really get one going. There is also the most important cost - precious time. At this point I just want to enjoy having the plants I really want, and my house looking the way I want right now, not years from now. Plus I feel like when I spend a bit more I’m more motivated to take care of the plant more carefully. This was a hilarious and fun video though and your SoH looks beautiful in the end 🤗😂

I wanted string of hearts soooo bad, 3-4 years ago. And I just got rid of it...I got tired, it grows like crazy. I kid you not, about a foot a month. All of my co-workers got cuttings of this plant from me. The pot was hanging all the way to the ceiling and it kept on growing. So basicaly, for me it was a space issue. I was cutting it every month or two, just to keep it at bay. So easy to propagate, I did it in water.

I started mine in coconut coir with a bit of pearlite added. It never stays waterlogged and still retains enough moisture to cover the lazy days. You can also just coil the vines around inside the pot and lightly cover, with no need to take cuttings. Here in Perth Western Australia, the vines from my outdoor hanging basket reach the ground and root in the soil below. There are always plenty of ferals snaking off into the garden if I need new plants. I adjust the length of the hanging basket vines with hedge shears, which also thickens the plant up nicely.

I was given a 10 cm string of hearts about 3 years’ ago. I now have 2 big plants from that plus a healthy bag of sphagnum with a load more rooted babies. I’ve found that piling it up on itself gives a more lush plant. It is a crawler. It is not supposed to hang and drape. Plant it under other tall plants. It will create a beautiful carpet. Take cuttings and root in water to make lots of plants and have some as drapers if you want. You can propagate this endlessly. It gets bigger leaves if it is in slight,y lower light I find. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s trying to maximize photosynthesis?
