  • Light
    String of hearts plants prefer bright, indirect light with some early morning direct sunlight, but avoid direct sunlight during the heat of the day. If your home doesn't get much natural light, you can use grow lights to keep your plant healthy and bushy.
  • Watering
    Water string of hearts plants regularly in spring and summer, but allow the soil to completely dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in winter, and never let the plant sit in water as the roots can rot and kill the plant. You can tell if your plant needs watering if it looks wrinkly, while smooth leaves indicate that it's doing well.
  • Temperature
    String of hearts plants prefer temperatures between 18°C - 26°C, but can handle temperatures as low as 20°F for short periods.
  • Soil
    String of hearts plants thrive in well-drained cacti potting mixes. A well-draining potting mix is recommended to prevent root rot.
  • Fertilizing
    Fertilize string of hearts plants once or twice a year, during the growing season, with a house plant fertilizer or succulent or cactus fertilizer.
  • Rotating
    Rotate your plant periodically to ensure even growth on all sides.
  • Dusting
    Dust the leaves often so the plant can photosynthesize efficiently. When dusting, you can also inspect the undersides of the leaves for pests.
  • Pests
    Mealybugs and spider mites can affect string of hearts plants. To remove mealybugs, you can try wiping them off with a damp cloth or removing any affected growth. To treat spider mites, you can try a biological control or organic sprays based on natural pyrethrum or plant oils.
