Easy String of Hearts Propagation Method
video description
If you have had trouble previously transitioning plants to soil you need to plant the cutting sooner when roots are only about 1 inch long and keep the soil extra moist for a period until the roots have developed.
I have tried this and it works. String of hearts are a cutting you want to ensure success because they are not cheap to buy so keep them moist!

That's an interesting system you have there for propagation. The only thing I'd do differently is I always put the wet rootings into pre-wetted soil. I find dry soil can dry up the roots too quickly and it's hard to get water to trickle down through really dry soil.
Thanks for this inspiring video because I want to try this on my string of hearts. If I start now I should have some decent ones to give at Christmas: )

okay so the first time i tried this was on my variegated string of hearts and I put the cuttings back into the mother plant. They didn't survive because I was afraid of overwatering my mother plant and all of them dried out: ( maybe if i try this method, get them acclimated to soil then pot them back into my mother plant they will survive? I neeed her to have a full head of hearts again lol

I have started water propagating all of my plant in the filter of my fish tank. I found that because the filter is dark and then there's constant water movement inside there plus the nutrients of the fish water itself it is excellent for propagating plants. So if anyone has fish tanks they should definitely try propogating their plants that way if they haven't already.

Perfect timing I was just thinking about trimming my soh Its been growing and flowering non stop and has a ton of tubers forming im not sure what I'm supposed to do with it. I love to experiment with different methods of propagating it's fun to see the different results

If you're looking for content ideas, I know I'd be keen to learn about all the string plants! Like string of dolphins, string of bananas, string of pearls ect.
I've also recently acquired a goldfish plant that I would love to know more about: )

I've been looking everywhere for this plant since I discovered it about 2 weeks ago. I just found it at 1am today. Hopefully my friend can pick it up for me. I'm freaking out, can't wait to get this plant. Definitely going to propagate it asap.

Some of the top leaves on my string of hearts seem to be shriveling. They have been in water for over 3 weeks and have developed some roots, but not too long. Not sure whats going wrong.

Ever had a plant in such big clay pot that it dried out every 2, 5 weeks when watering 4 liters every time?
All i did is go from 26 cm diameter to 38cm diameter with a pothos.

How long should you wait to propagate it
I've not had mine long but its growing really fast and has loads of new shots
Nature is amazing

Nice video. Thank you! What happens to the strings that you take the cuttings from? Will they branch or continue growing from the same place?
