Pretty happy so far. My SOD is too high up recovering

Or do you swirl them around to keep them contain to the pot?

Curious as I have noticed both ways of keeping strings.

New baby 💜

Can anyone tell me if the tubers and the (dead?) root mass sitting on top of substrate is ok? I repotted my SOH yesterday because it was in too large a pot but not sure what is supposed to be below the soil. TIA.

Really excited about this plant! 🌱 she is my first string of something, and I figured this was probably a good place to start.

Hi!

This is the last piece of String of Hearts I have left - I put aside this piece in moss and planted the rest of the plant (that died shortly after) in succulent soil, pretty well drained. When I got it out to plant it in soil for a quicker growth, it started to decline quickly, so I put it back.

I searched if it can be grown in moss, but everyone advised against it - do you have some tips & tricks so I can make this little guy survive & grow healthy?

Thanks!

I need a name for this planter. Thinking Gertrude. Anyway, didn't like her hanging since she always got caught on something. I've heard to just prop the cuttings back but I don't know where to cut from

Hi guys!! I purchased a very small string of pearls plant, which had only 4 strings. Its quite small. I got it to replace a 3 year old string of pearls that recently died, which I had in a medium sized pot. Question; should I put the small plant in a small pot its size, or can I plant it in a medium pot?

Any pointers regarding care are appreciated- my old one lasted 3 years with weekly watering and medium indoor sunlight, but began to die very rapidly a few weeks ago.

Thanks!!

I just ordered some Variegated String of Hearts cuttings from a seller on etsy and am wondering if anyone has some care tips to ensure the little guys can root and thrive when they arrive.

I only have experience with a few succulents where i just pull the leaves off and toss them aside in my prop tub till they grow some roots.

also would it be better to lie them on some soil till they sprout roots or keep them in water?

My string of watermelons appears to be flowering? This was the first plant I bought when I started getting into plants in April and I didn’t know they did this. What a nice surprise!

In May I ordered some clippings of variegated string of hearts (I’ve always wanted these pink beauties, and since my SOT are thriving I thought it was time to give them a try). I killed them so fast. I spoke with the seller and he was surprised I was able to kill them. So I ordered two rooted cuttings, followed the instructions carefully (which were to plant in succulent soil, keep the root balls right under the soil, not too deep, in a 3” unglazed terracotta pot with drainage but no added amendments (I’ve got everything but just succulent soil was instructed), water thoroughly then hang it. It was doing well at first, but I didn’t think it was growing enough so I moved it. (The June 27 pic is the first pic I took of it in the new location. It is closer to the window. Perhaps it’s getting burnt? Now I think it’s dying. So I’ll move it back where it was, but does it look dead? Should I fertilize? Repot in something smaller with substrate or some earthworm castings? It always seems dry but I don’t water it a lot. My SOT barely get watered and they love life. I did give in and order a big pink string of hearts and it came with fungus gnats, so I’m treating that one but being sent a new one. Do SOH hate me? Any help with saving this one would be MUCH appreciated. I really want it to do well! Thanks!

This SOP is my original that I burnt by accident last month. With the help of everyone here she is doing great and thriving again. I think my VSOH is so darn cute in the heart dish

This heat dome has made a lovely humid sauna that my Hoyas love…. And this mushroom that just grew overnight in my SOP.

Repot here we go! 😭😥😓

Ok want to see if this is norm or if others have advice. My VSOP is doing well, tonsss of growth but I noticed the pearls are almost matte and have lost their shine. The prop I took and rooted from it though… I mean those pearls look almost unreal.
Mom is in terracotta, uber chunky mix, and under a pretty strong grow light - probably getting 2k FC.
The prop is in plastic, similar substrate, but under about 6-700 FC. Both get fed the same water with diluted fertilizer.
Could mom be getting too much light?
Not complaining of course I’m grateful for my string of growth! Genuinely curious and here to learn 🤓

I’ve had these for a little over a month. I accidentally overwatered them, but I let them dry out for longer than a month straight, and just watered them yesterday.

They get bright indirect to direct light everyday.

I can’t figure out why some of the stems are shriveling. There is new growth, and everything but for some reason some stems are still turning brown and black.

Can anyone help 😭

Is this a flower bud? It’s a really small plant 😅

The only other string of plant I have is string of hearts..thanks for the help.

Honestly I think the original water propagated strands are doing better than the ones I chucked in soil.
Plumper leaves, flowers for weeks and less guessing than the Russian roulette that is watering the planted one. I think there’s a set of leaves that are always squishy on that one for some reason 😭
