In this video I share my care tips for the String of Hearts, also called, Chain of Hearts or Rosary Vine and its botanical name the Ceropegia Woodii.
I’m also going to propagate the String of Hearts through cuttings and water. When the roots have grown, I will plan mail him to a few of my IG followers to share the love.
The String of Hearts is one of the most popular and trendy houseplants today. Really easy to care for and even easier to propagate. Enjoy

@farinsexplodiertefreundin215 5 жыл бұрын

Another great way to propagate them is by the tubers. You just lay them on some soil and they will grow a complete new plant. My string of hearts had 5-6 tubers on only one string, so I cut the whole thing off and placed it in a circular shape into a new pot, if that makes sense.

@CrazyPlantGuy 5 жыл бұрын

farins explodiertefreundin Yes makes sense. I will try that next time. Right now my SOH doesn’t have much tubers.

@possumfriend2335 4 жыл бұрын

@alexza03 They grow little round parts along the string, hence the other common name, rosary vine, and those are the tubers they mean. You can cut above those and lay those on the soil. You can do the wrap of the string on the soil to get nodes to root too but keep the strand rooted and do that rather than cut it and wrap, if that makes sense. That's worked better on mine.

Great tips! I found it helpful to know you should allow quite a bit of root growth before planting . Last winter I couldn’t find this plant anywhere even online so I ordered seeds. I was doubtful but they did grow and I now have a plant with approximately 16-18 inch strings. I’m going to propagate a few soon to bulk it up a bit. Thanks!

Kathy Brintlinger hi Kathy i read what you said about growing from seeds . did you have to germinate them in the refrigerator for a certain amount of time or did you just plant the seeds in the soil ? also i have some seeds for a peperomia plant coming from ebay i thought i was getting an actual plant but as it turns out they are only seeds and i have no idea what to do with them when i get them, any ideas ???

@kathybrintlinger9993 4 жыл бұрын

Carol Meyer I didn’t have to refrigerate the seeds. I believe they came with instructions. I’m sure I just put them in soil and kept them fairly moist and warm. I was skeptical but they did grow into a good size plant that I still have today. Good luck with your seeds! 🌱😊

When I received them it came with instructions to dip cutting in rooting hormone and place into cactus soil with a bit of perlite mixed in. So being a newbie to string of hearts that's what I did. Then it said to gently water and place in bright indirect sunlight. 3 weeks later I got caught in one of the strings, ok my long hair did ! To my surprise it had tugged the string up a bit .... and there were roots !!!!! Love your video's!!

@michellereed479 3 жыл бұрын

I prefer to use sphagnum moss for propagating soh. I find that each cutting forms it's own little bulb & roots, therefore the cuttings have a much higher success rate. Often you will have to leave some moss on the roots when transferring to soil because the roots cling to the moss.

Hi, you have more choices than just water. There are about four ways they can be propagated. Butterfly’s on soil top. A string on soil top. Water and the bark type nodes that can get quite large too can be cut apart and left to herded and then those will spark new growth also its the hardest way but it works too. Beautiful father/mother whatever you’d choose! Lol

You can also propagate the leaves. I have successfully propped 10/15 leaves now so when you cut them off it’s worth a try. I find it s great solution to give the top side a bit more thickness. However instead of cutting, carefull pull the leaf (with the small stem attachted to the node) and make sure the stem comes off. You need that stem.

Do you think it will thrive in a north facing window? I got this as a gift and loooooove it! I’m curious if you have any tips such as growing light of the north direction is not enough. Thank you! Big fan of your channel!!!!

i didn’t realize it was so easy! I just watched a video on propagating string of pearls where the girl planted them straight away after trimming. Could that work for hearts also or do they need to grow roots in water?

Thank you, I will try the water propagation today. The butterfly method aint treating me well for some reason, even tho I did everything as recommended, (the new growths started to rot from the top even with decent roots in spaghnum and potting them sooner to save them only made them freeze in development). so this will prolly be safer and simpler and quicker in the end...with the speed of growth of the motherplant I dont really need to use the butterfly method I guess...

do you have any tips on how to make the plant look fuller and more lush? do you replant propagations back into the original pot or place the tubers into the dirt at all? mine's only a 4" pot with around 10 strands and looks pretty scraggly but it's grown to be over a foot long since i bought it in july!

My plant is balding so I want to replenish the top. My strings have many white balls on them.... should I use those to propagate? Are they tubers?

Thank you for making the video. It would be nice to see how they do when they reach to the point of being able to be transplanted to the soil. And also, When is the good time to propagate them? Right now it's early autumn here, My String of hearts is growing like crazy, I know I need to propagate it. But if i propagate it in water and wait for two months, then when I transplant it to the soil it would be in the winter, how likely would it thrive? What would you recommend?

My string of hearts plant is crazy and I need help. So I bought it 2 weeks ago and it grows incredible fast. I never experienced any plant to grow this fast. So far so good but the problem is: the strings do not grow downwards but to the sides. Futhermore I have 1 string that has 2 more strings on it. So there are no single strings but multiple growing from one particular string. It is hard to explain but I hope that you get what I mean. I am very thankful for its growth but I hate how it looks .. it starts to look like a rhipsalis plant but with hearts on it.. I like rhipsalis but I would love to look my string of hearts like it is supposed to look.

It sounds like your plant has rooted itself and there is no "end" to the string. I've seen this and you can usually tell which end was meant to be hanging, snip it and it will hang again and shoot off a new string.
