String of Hearts Care Guide:
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially morning or late afternoon sun, which helps maintain its variegation and encourage flowering. In low light, the plant may lose its vibrant color and become leggy.
- Water: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. The String of Hearts is drought-tolerant and can handle occasional neglect, but overwatering can lead to root rot.
- Soil: Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix. A blend of regular potting soil with added perlite or sand ensures proper drainage.
- Humidity: Average household humidity is fine for this plant. It adapts well to normal indoor environments and doesn’t require high humidity.
- Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 60-80°F (16-27°C). It is sensitive to cold temperatures, so avoid exposure to drafts or temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
- Fertilizer: Feed with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). No need to fertilize during winter dormancy.
- Propagation: Easily propagated through stem cuttings. Simply place cuttings in water or directly into well-draining soil, and roots will develop quickly.
