String of hearts

Propagating string of hearts | Water method see photos below

My favorite propagation method is water propagation.

It’s easy, almost always works and allows you to see how far along the rooting process is.

If you want to propagate your string of hearts using the water method, all you need is a little vase, clean scissors and some water.

Simply snip off the vine pieces you want to root trim off the two leaves from the top of the cutting close to the stem, trim the stem to 5mm from the node where you cut the leaves off and place them in the vase.

That is it. All you need after this is some patience and a nice light, warm location to place the vase.

If all is well, roots should appear after anywhere between a several days and a three to four weeks.

How long it takes depends on factors like light and temperature.

After the vines have rooted you can pot up your plant or just leave them in the vase indefinitely.

Propagating string of hearts | Soil method

Prefer your plants in pots rather than vases?

The soil method is another super easy way to propagate your string of hearts that comes in especially handy when your plant has gotten too long or scraggly and you want to shorten it or give it a fuller look in the same pot.

How do you do it?

Well, as with the water method this is quite easy.

Just snip off the vines the way you prefer. Remove some leaves on the side you want to plant and stick the vines into the soil.

Make sure at least a few nodes (tiny bumps on the vine that leaves or roots can grow from) are covered in soil or at least touching it.

Then, spray the parts that touch the soil once a day or so to encourage rooting.

Once roots have appeared you’re good and new growth should start to pop up soon as well.
