String of Hearts
About The String of Hearts

Our String of Hearts is a lovely trailing succulent known for its heart-shaped leaves and tolerant nature. It can propagate quickly due to its shallow roots and ability to easily grow new roots and vines. We recommend putting it on an elevated surface like a bookshelf to give it space to cascade. Worried about care? We also offer this plant in a faux option.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you make a String of Hearts fuller at the top?
When grown indoors, a String of Hearts can easily develop long, trailing vines but look sparse or "bald" at the soil level. The most effective way to thicken the canopy is using a layering technique. Take a long trailing vine and coil it in loops flat across the soil inside the pot. Secure the nodes down using floral staples or bent bobby pins so they make direct contact with the soil. New roots and fresh vertical vine shoots will sprout from every pinned node, quickly creating a dense, bushy crown.

How often do you water a String of Hearts plant?
You should water using the "soak and dry" method, watering only when the potting mix has completely dried out from top to bottom. To check if your plant is thirsty, gently squeeze a pair of leaves close to the base of the pot. If they feel firm and rigid, the plant doesn’t need water, but if they feel soft and wrinkled, it is safe to water thoroughly. Expect to water roughly every 7-10 days in summer, and down to once every 2-3 weeks during the winter.
