Update!!: I tried this plastic bag method (using same red colour for extra luck) and in 5 days, fuzzy ROOTS are growing. The string is still very healthy with no leaf rot which I thought would happen as some water droplets were touching the leaf directly. Thank you so much for sharing this idea with us. You are so helpful!
OMG!!! That's amazing!!! Woweeee!! I am sooo happy that someone else tried it and had the same success. So mine was not a fluke :) Thank you for sharing your experience with the experiment :)
Propagating plants to share with others always is a joy.. Great tip I just learned...."shade encourages root growth and sun encourages leaf growth". I'll be trying out the layering technique soon with my string of bananas as my friend wants one of these plants. Wonderful video, thanks!
I just bought 2 string of hearts and instantly fell in love with it! I’ve been thinking of ways to propagate it to make it a fuller plant, glad I came across your video. Thanks!
I make sure the new pot is fully rooted then i just snip as close to the first rooted spot on each strand as possible. You can basically chop anywhere once the strands are rooted, only .. the parts before the first rooted spot will dry off and die.
thank you! Unfortunately our humidity in the lowland here makes String of Pearls impossible to grow here. I have not been successful is keeping them alive. They will only thrive in the colder highland areas in Malaysia. :(
Plants n Such what a small world! I suspected you’re Malaysian but thought you may be living outside Malaysia as you didn’t “La” at all. I’m from Kuala Lumpur living in London.
Hi, new sub here! Thank you for the very informative video! I just got some string of heart cuttings and have been searching for ways to root them the best way I could. I can only hope for now that my hearts turn out to be as healthy as yours. Thank you and have a wonderful day plant buddy! 💚
@@WinnieLuthienThye I have a question, as well, if you don't mind: my string of hearts came really young and has just been growing on a single strand. Will it start to create more strands or do I need to propagate it in the same pot to fill it out?
@@PaxxTan hi Paxx, after a while branches will appear at certain nodes on your single strand, but most likely the base of the strand will remain as a single piece. To encourage a bushier growth, i would normally twirl the strand back into the surface of the pot and pin it down at certain junctions so that as many nodes would touch the surface of the soil to encourage rooting from those nodes. In this sense yes you are in fact propagating your strand in its own pot. Mist the surface slightly everyday to increase the humidity on the top of the pot (but not too much that it would rot the tuber from your main strand) . Misting the top will encourage the roots to grow out faster. Once roots start growing, you will have a high chance of a new stem appearing where the rooting has occured. So if you manage to root 3 nodes into the substrate, you have 3 potential growth points. That way your plant can become bushier in time. Hope this helps 😊
This is great Right now I have water propagation and layering happening. I should have made notes to when I did either one of them I did not do so. Next time. Trying to make my Mother plant fuller . Thanks for sharing. Will watch some more of your videos.
@@WinnieLuthienThye Well the roots are slowly starting. I think I like your way much better and when I can clip my layered plants apart I will try to do it your way with the bag. Roots are only about half an inch long and they have been in water for a couple weeks. So slow. It is winter here now so quite chilly.
@@WinnieLuthienThye Well crazy thing has happened to the wandering Jew propagation. I put my water propagation tall vase containers into a tote that is holding my outside pond plants over winter that can not winter outside. Holed drilled in lid So the bottom of the tote is filled with water maybe half way up. The wandering jew with just broken off ends down into the vases sprouted roots at every leaf node all the way up the step and they grew about 1 1/2 inches long in less then 2 weeks. Also a hoya tip I broke off when cleaning it. OOPS has time roots popping out in just 2 weeks. This is the way to get things to root fast. I have a grow light sitting outside the side of the clearish tote and it is quite warm inside. Probably helps the rooting. I potted the wandering jew up by cutting off the leaves leaving only a few inches at the tip end and laying the stems with roots don on top of the potting soil. Two days ago and so far no drooping. The upside is this tote allowing humidity to escape the top some is under my plant shelf so all plants on the shelf are enjoying the humidity. Thinking now I should move things around so the most humidity loving plants are on that shelf.
I have questions about the potting mix. It says equal parts of coco chips, charcoal, and pumice and coco peat to bind the mix. So would this be one cup of eat potting media? So 1 cocochips, 1 charcoal, 1 pumice and 1 cocopeat? My second question about the mix is can I use an orchid mix (which has bark) in place of the cocochips? And can I use perlite instead of the pumice? I am going to try your bag technique today I’ll update you! Thanks for your helpful videos!
Equal mix as in 25% each if there are 4 ingredients to fill your pot. Usually it is an estimate. A bit more of this or that wont make a difference. You can basically use anything. Orchid mix is a good mix. The ultimate result is you want something porous and drains easily. Also depends a lot on your environment. If there is no ventilation, no sun then you probably hv to use a lot more draining elements eg pumise, volcanic rock, perlite etc. And less on the water retaining elements like peat, cocochip or potting mix.
Yes i have but somehow the butterfly method never works for me 😅 the plastic bag method is the best becos you can literally see the roots grow. They produce roots in about 3 days! I also like the layering method esp for the variegated form. Best success rate, even better than the plastic bag when it comes to the variegated form
Thank you thank you thank you thank you I loved your video I am in love with the Ceropegia Woodii. It is my favorite plant of all times. I love to to gift it I have sold them in the past but only ones that I have purchased never been able to propagate them myself! Your two methods today have been remarkably easy and straight forward and I appreciate it that you shared This truly it's a gift of love and you have a green thumb for 2.!!!LOL I also have purchased another recommendation for potting soil would love your feedback to mix perlite in three parts 1/3 perlite to 1/3 moisture control soil to 1/3 on a succulent Cactus mix what do you think about that it seems like that would also give some good drainage again thank you keep up the good work and if there's any special place the cuttings need to be done in between please update this otherwise I'm going to try my hand at this today! Thank you very much again for my fellow syrup Ceropegia Woodii lover!
Hi Berlinda :) thank you for your happy message!! I was smiling from cheek to cheek reading this! Regarding the soil mix, I would say any mix that is well draining would be great cos I know certain materials cant be found everywhere. Like I have never used moisture control soil before, neither have I seen it here. Well, good luck with the cuttings and have fun :)
Used this on mine a week and half ago. My SoH had grown long and was touching the floor, but it was extremely thin, I’ve used this technique and rooted them, and planted them back with the mother plant, in hopes of making it thicker.
I use this method to a degree with my sop and soh. I put the cuttings on the soil and water, place in a plastic bag and they root directly into the soil
Really like your videos. I learn something new every time I watch one. I have a SOH that I want to propagate and I'm going to use your method. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience!
The plastic bag method is so cool. Do you think i can use it on my succulents? My haworthia is not growing any roots since I accidentally topped it over :(
Hmmm ... i have no idea about succulents. Seems a bit 'scary' to put a whole plant into plastic bag. Might just rot the succulent leaves. But since it's not growing anyways, you can try.
Wow! This is a great video! I will definitely try the layering method. This plant is so rare and expensive- I'm always curious to know how ppl acquire them. Where did you get your lovely SOH variegated?
thank you! Im glad you liked the video! This plant is selling more commonly nowadays then when I was first looking for it 3 years back. There are a lot of nurseries selling both the variegated and non variegated versions. I got mine three years back online via a friend.
@@WinnieLuthienThye I was thinking about the bag method- it's very similar to when I tried to propagate my rose cuttings using a clear plastic container cupping over the plant.
@@andylise08 yup, i use the cup for my philos too. Basically its just different ways of layering a plant and providing a mini greenhouse effect to encourage rooting.
Hi may I know in what country you live? I am curious about the media it's kind unusual, I want to try it but want to know how is the weather there? Will it working in Asia, too?
Hi im in Malaysia. This media is what's working best for my SoH. It is very porous so it drains immediately when i water. I can water my SoH every other day in the hot months and they actually need it. In the rainy months i cut watering down to 3 or 4 days once. The plant needs to hv sun and a very ventilated space.
@@WinnieLuthienThye Okay I will try this media, in Indonesia will definitely work like there too😊 the plastic bag method working well I tried it several times, thank you for sharing it 🙏🏼😊 About the layering method, I done it before find this video, but I only get bigger bulbs inside, no new leaf comes out from the bulbs, so can't have fuller pot result.. but in plastic bag method there a lot new leaves comes from the big bulbs.. so what did I miss?
I have not had any success with string of pearls here. In fact nearly 100% of the ppl i know who tried to grow SOP in our humid environment have failed. So i cant tell you what substrate works best for SOP unfortunately. 😢
I think you can just lay the pearls on soil and the little pearls will actually grow roots so will the strand of pearls but with all of my succulents that have dropped leaves or when I'm shopping I find leaves that are falling off succulents and I take them home I just lay them on top of a plant that probably doesn't get watered a lot and have salty soil and almost all of these little succulent leaves grow in fact I noticed I had some string of bananas that the leaves fell off and I just put them on top of my ginger plant soil and I didn't think they would grow because that plant stays fairly moist and lo and behold today there was a root coming out of each of the little leaves that fell off of the string of bananas. Now I'm sure it's going to take a long time for a plant to grow out of that but it's just fun to watch
Also if you go to Maria's Garden on her Channel she deals with succulents and her main succulent that she talks about a lot is desert roses but she uses a lot of cinnamon and she always put cinnamon on top of the soil and onto her cuttings before she plants them so maybe using cinnamon would help when you're trying to grow these cuttings hard to explain you got to go to her site and find out. She is a grower she grows everything herself and she lives in Punta Gorda Florida and it's very humid there so if you want to learn more about growing succulents in a humid climate go watch Maria on Maria's Garden. She's funny sometimes she has flowers hanging from her hair even sometimes real plants but she's excellent and the knowledge she has about succulents how to grow them how to expand your collection exedra
@@kathleenmurphy2379 thank you for taking the time to comment! I would definitely check out Maria ... she sounds like a free spirit and fun 😊 yes, i do propagate succulents and the propagate ok .. only the pearls dont do well in our lowland climate. They will only thrive in our hill resorts where the climate is drier and breezier. Ah well we cant hv every plant like our place and im ok with that. 😊
my pleasure! No I have not tried with a ziploc bag. From experience, I find roots grow faster when there is less light. Light usually encourages leaves, and shade encourages root growth. That is why I chose to put it in an opaque bag, where light wont get into it so much. But, if you want to use a ziploc (the ones i have seen are transparent) then put the bag in a shaded place to encourage faster root growth.
It was a year ago I first watch this video and in a year I forgot all about this bag method to root string of hearts. I think I'm going to try it with string of pearls and take some cuttings from my little 2 inch of string of hearts. The strands are getting very long and I'd like to make a bigger pot of them
Hi!! Loved your video!! But I have a question...after the root grows, and before you repot it, do you cut any string? Does this stimulate another string to grow?
Thank you! No i dont cut anything. The tuber which forms will produce another string on its own. In time when the attached old strings hv no more use, they will dry up on their own. No intervention needed.
Am trying your method for my strings of hearts (cut off the strands cos plant was dying due to over watering). It’s been 3 days & so far no roots yet. Do I need to keep the plastic bag in a dark place?
Yes. Not too much light will be better. Also did you check if the strings are still viable since you mentioned the plant was dying? The strings have to be healthy.
Dear fellow plant lover - just need to inform you that I moved the plastic bag to a darker place & now the strands have roots! Thanks for helping me to save my strings of hearts. Cheers!
Depends on the weather. If it is during months where the sun is shining into my balcony, then i go as much as misting it everyday and watering once in 3 days. If its the rainy season, then i will only water when the soil is dry. Probably once a week or longer.
thank you kindly! It is a fast growing one for me. As long as you give it bright bright light and water, but in a well draining substrate, it will grow very quickly.
Great question! Yes I do. Keep it in the shade, because the rule of thumb is - shade encourages root growth and light encourages leaf growth. When they are in the plastic bag, it is roots I want the cuttings to grow.
Thats an interesting thought. I say that becos SoP is very difficult to grow in Malaysia, let alone propagate. Perhaps you could try it out ... im curious to know if this works for SoP or not.
@@WinnieLuthienThye well that was a quick reply! I'm going to try it this week because something happened to my two pots of string of pearls so I had to do cuttings and I put them in pots the way a lady in Florida says to do them. Her channels name is Maria's Garden. She's a wonderful lady that is started her own business years ago to support her daughter and herself. She's a legal immigrant from Mexico. The business she started was a second hand shop and now she's sold that and has a property where that is located in somebody else runs it and she now has a huge area to grow succulents and sell them. She Specializes and desert roses. She just recently showed how to propagate String of Pearls. But I may take a few strands and put them in a plastic bag along with a few strands of string of dolphins and see what happens I'll let you know I also add subscribed to your channel but my RUclips channel somehow or other with my son using my phone got listed with my other email address I don't use and I've got to switch it around. So if you don't hear from me make another call men here and it'll go to my email address and I'll get back in touch
Hi :) thank you! I can only read a little bit of Chinese and I cannot write. I will try my best to answer your questions if you have any in the future.

Yay! Im glad it worked for you too! Thanks for sharing ❤️
Wow that is the longest variegated string of hearts I’ve seen
😅
Hi-when layering in a second pot, when and how do you separate the two plants, or are they doubled up forever?
I make sure the new pot is fully rooted then i just snip as close to the first rooted spot on each strand as possible. You can basically chop anywhere once the strands are rooted, only .. the parts before the first rooted spot will dry off and die.
Love, love your video! Very precise explanations given to propagating string of hearts. Your friend is lucky.

my pleasure! No I have not tried with a ziploc bag. From experience, I find roots grow faster when there is less light. Light usually encourages leaves, and shade encourages root growth. That is why I chose to put it in an opaque bag, where light wont get into it so much. But, if you want to use a ziploc (the ones i have seen are transparent) then put the bag in a shaded place to encourage faster root growth.
@@WinnieLuthienThye thanks! That's a great tip. I have some already in a ziploc bag, I'll put then in the shade. Thanks again!
@@nadiaglombovsky2401 my pleasure!
Will this work for pothos?
I think for pothos its easier just to do layering or put the cuttings in water. Im sure this method would work too if the bag is humid enough.
I’ve put my cuttings of my golden pothos in rainwater and I can already see the roots starting to form its only been 6days
@@Entertain_Mehhh rainwater is the miracle water. Everything grows better with it!
It was a year ago I first watch this video and in a year I forgot all about this bag method to root string of hearts. I think I'm going to try it with string of pearls and take some cuttings from my little 2 inch of string of hearts. The strands are getting very long and I'd like to make a bigger pot of them
Cool!! Tell us the outcome of it. Im really curious to know.
Hi!! Loved your video!! But I have a question...after the root grows, and before you repot it, do you cut any string? Does this stimulate another string to grow?
Thank you! No i dont cut anything. The tuber which forms will produce another string on its own. In time when the attached old strings hv no more use, they will dry up on their own. No intervention needed.
@@WinnieLuthienThye Thank you!! I have two of them, but I want to propagate so they can get fuller.
@@m.vanapaulasene5112 cool! Just line them back into the substrate should root in time 😊
Am trying your method for my strings of hearts (cut off the strands cos plant was dying due to over watering). It’s been 3 days & so far no roots yet. Do I need to keep the plastic bag in a dark place?
Yes. Not too much light will be better. Also did you check if the strings are still viable since you mentioned the plant was dying? The strings have to be healthy.
Plants n Such Thanks for your prompt response. Yes, the strands are healthy. Will monitor and let you know.
Dear fellow plant lover - just need to inform you that I moved the plastic bag to a darker place & now the strands have roots! Thanks for helping me to save my strings of hearts. Cheers!
@@violetsng8554 ooooooo that is super!!! ❤❤❤
How often should you water it
Depends on the weather. If it is during months where the sun is shining into my balcony, then i go as much as misting it everyday and watering once in 3 days. If its the rainy season, then i will only water when the soil is dry. Probably once a week or longer.
Amazing video.. i love your plants❤️ they are really beautiful.. by the way is the string of hearts is a fast growing plant? Or a slow growing?
thank you kindly! It is a fast growing one for me. As long as you give it bright bright light and water, but in a well draining substrate, it will grow very quickly.
@@WinnieLuthienThye thank you 🤗
do you keep the plastic away from the sunlight?
Great question! Yes I do. Keep it in the shade, because the rule of thumb is - shade encourages root growth and light encourages leaf growth. When they are in the plastic bag, it is roots I want the cuttings to grow.
Wow
I wonder if this method would work for String of Pearls string of dolphins Etc
Thats an interesting thought. I say that becos SoP is very difficult to grow in Malaysia, let alone propagate. Perhaps you could try it out ... im curious to know if this works for SoP or not.
@@WinnieLuthienThye well that was a quick reply! I'm going to try it this week because something happened to my two pots of string of pearls so I had to do cuttings and I put them in pots the way a lady in Florida says to do them. Her channels name is Maria's Garden. She's a wonderful lady that is started her own business years ago to support her daughter and herself. She's a legal immigrant from Mexico. The business she started was a second hand shop and now she's sold that and has a property where that is located in somebody else runs it and she now has a huge area to grow succulents and sell them. She Specializes and desert roses. She just recently showed how to propagate String of Pearls. But I may take a few strands and put them in a plastic bag along with a few strands of string of dolphins and see what happens I'll let you know I also add subscribed to your channel but my RUclips channel somehow or other with my son using my phone got listed with my other email address I don't use and I've got to switch it around. So if you don't hear from me make another call men here and it'll go to my email address and I'll get back in touch
Hi,希望你能看懂中文.很喜歡看你的視頻,這個string of hearts 我已經看了很多次,但我的英文不好.請問能否用中文跟你溝通呢?謝謝
Hi :) thank you!
I can only read a little bit of Chinese and I cannot write. I will try my best to answer your questions if you have any in the future.
Thank you very much.🙏🏻😀
I just ordered my string of heart today form Etsy, since I received it I will ask you some question.🙏🏻😀
@@IvyUTwo 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤
Ivy Dingdong I am in awe of your writing skills ,
I think if the cuttings are shorter, you won't have a hard time unraveling the vines and risk tearing out the root. But thanks for the teach.
My pleasure 😊
