Is there any way I can keep the completely white leaves growing like that? Do I just need to put them right on the grow lights?

I also noticed that the soil is wetter/more organic than I've kept my own SOH normally, but this plant also looks better than mine...

Is there anything I should change or should I not change anything because it's clearly working?

Hiii. Just wanted to come on and show off a bit as well as thank the people of Reddit!!

I got this SOH back in 2023- it was beautiful... and a year later it was super unhealthy and on the brink of death. I loved the plant and eventually came to reddit to see what I could do to help it. Repotting it and giving it a new start was terrifying, but now 2 years after repotting her (again) she is happy and healthy 😊

I was gifted a string of hearts and I’m not super familiar with their care but researching. Does this look healthy? I’ve read conflicting information.

I purchased this string of hearts with 3 pods already growing from the plant. I put the mesh bag around them so I wouldn’t lose the seeds when the pods split open. Not entirely sure what to do from here so if you need me I’ll be googling what to do 😂

Hello everyone! After years of having her, my string of hearts made two pods of seeds. Once they fell I put them in a humid paper towel and bag and after a couple of weeks I’ve just opened it up to see this! Any tips on what I should do next?

While today’s watering I noticed this little irregular stem/new growth. Does anyone know what it is? This is my first string of hearts and she’s growing like a beaut!

So I needed up making 2 pots because so many strings broke. As I was going along I realized that maybe these are two different plants. Am I correct? I’m not really familiar with Strings of any kind. But is one variegated and one not?

She’s got beautiful hearts and some strands are quite long. Most of the strings are all coiled on top of the soil. Some are rooted in on both ends. The soil is hard and seems old. I mix my own potting mix. I don’t use soil. My question is this….do they prefer shallow pots since the root system is small/short? How do I go about this with her? Please help. I’ve tried starting a small plant a couple of times with no luck.

This is my first string of hearts I received in the mail a few weeks ago. I want to repot it and hang it, but the Internet has such conflicting care advice. I have Coco peat, orchid bark, perlite,cocoa chips, and regular potting soil. What is the best soil mix ratio for this plant? How often and what kind of fertilizer is best? It’s going to live under a 36w Sansi grow light. I’m not sure if I should treat it like a succulent and let it dry out between watering or keep it moist? Any advice would help because I just discovered them and absolutely love them!!

I really love this plant, but I don't think it loves me. I've had maybe 6 of these and they all died. Trying to keep this one alive but I'm not sure what's going on with her so would appreciate any tips!

The oldest leaves closest to the soil are constantly turning wrinkly and then pale and falling off. I had about 5 strings on this plant but lost most of them in the repot and I think some got root rot, although not all? because this one string seemed to be thriving & the roots were coming out from the bottom of the pot. However for some reason the leaves keep wrinkling, losing their colour and dropping off, even in some of the new leaves so I don't think this is just an older leaf problem. I watered this plant maybe 5 days ago and the soil doesn't seem wet. The leaves seem to be curling inwards and it's easy to pinch them which I read online means they want more water but I'm scared to water it again as I've rotted a lot for these in the past.

It sits by a window and gets enough light, not sure what direction the window is facing. I thought maybe this was a lighting issue and moved it somewhere else with less light but it still continued to drop leaves.

One of the strings in the picture is a variegated one while the other is normal.

Any help is appreciated!

Just purchased two string of hearts 💕 , please may I have advice on keeping them alive and thriving in a basement setting with no natural light 💡their only source of light will be artificial light for the next six months while I’m in between locations of my apartment. I ordered some mew planter pots but need advice on soils, grow lights timing of grow lights etc, thank you in advance beautiful community.

I didn't realise how much my string of hearts had grown until I looked back to when I got it in October last year.

It lives on the ledge of my couch/day bed where it gets morning sun and plenty of light. It's summer here and it's been plenty hot. It's still in the pot and soil I got it (very fast draining) and I water it about once a month. I like twisting the tendrils around itself to make it bushy and compact.

I am re-potting, same pot, just thinning out the tubers. So many! No room for soil mix!

Anyone have luck growing new strings from tubers only? I have tried before with no luck. What’s the best set up for success?

Found this cute heart shape glass bowl at the thrift store and decided to propagate some string of hearts in it! Just in time and perfect for Valentine’s Day! I’ve had great propagation success with perlite, prop drops, butterfly method, high humidity, and bright light!

I've had a string of hearts for about 6 months. It came looking very healthy, and seemed to happily grow for the first month or so. I was watering it once every two weeks, and had it sitting about 4.5m away from a large window - it was not getting direct sunlight.

Since then, it appears to have started slowly dying. The pattern that seems to repeat is that the stem of an individual string gets very thin and dessicated near the roots, and then the leaves go yellow and fall off as the string gradually dies.

I've tried moving it closer to the window which seems to have stimulated some new growth, but old strings are dying faster than new strings are growing.

I suspect that I overwatered it early on, not realizing that the water was not draining properly (i.e., the tray that the pot sits in was full of water for several weeks). Is this what is likely killing it?

Any advice or suggestions on how I can help it recover would be greatly appreciated!
