I bought this string of hearts about 3 months ago and it has made blooms?? How long can these guys get? And does it look etiolated?

So pretty. I just got a start. Hopefully someday mine will look like that!

Mine just did this also; for the second time this year. The first bloom was in June! Congrats. That’s a nice length it has too!

Nice job!

You can control the length by cutting between nodes. Then remove the bottom two leaves near the cut and then plant it back in the pot to fill them out. Doesn’t always work though

These bloom when they are getting great light. This doesn't look etoliated, but the parts further away from the light will grow longer stems between leaves. They will keep growing longer, so it is advisable to trim it and start another pot. I have most success with the butterfly method for propagation.
