- The Purple Heart is a large and colorful succulent that's easy to grow. It can be grown both indoors and out, and can root in soil or in just water. In this video I'll go over the Purple Heart's favorite growing conditions and will talk through some of the ways you can incorporate it into your garden!
My name is Nicole, and I live in planting zone 8A in Southeastern North Carolina. I am a coastal gardener here, and largely have to find plants that will grow well in my sandy soil. For gardening tips and information about what to grow in zone 8A, please keep following my journey. Happy planting, everyone - let's do this!!!

Wow thanks, never knew Purple Heart was a succulent. Thank you
Great advice. Thanks for making the specific note about this being toxic to both humans and animals.
Thank you, I appreciate you reaching out.
I'm a guy just needing a simple and straightforward tutorial. Thank you for giving me just that. Respect for your wanting to share your knowledge with the world.

Always very nice vidéo ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
I absolutely Love your yard!!!! I'm in NC too. Thank you for your tutorial! So insightful!!
Thank you for this sweet message! So glad this was helpful! Have an awesome gardening year! 💚
Southeastern NC here too, and I just got some Purple Heart cuttings for the first time!
@@929jpotter awesome!! I hope they grow as plentifully for you as they do for me! 💜
Love your plants! I’m in 7B so we connect !
That's awesome! So we'll have lots of similarities!
I grow these and wandering Jew in a glass vase of water and pumice stone. It does great!
Sounds beautiful! Yes I appreciate how easy this is to grow 😊
Thanks I love all your tips and purple hearts.🌺
That's great, I'm so glad to hear it. Thanks for reaching out!
Excellent video, thank you! My Purple Heart (hanging) has gotten leggy. I’ve read it’s time to prune. Do you have any tips and trick to pruning? I’ve read trim it down to 6”. Do you agree?
Hi there! I think the 6" idea is a good one! Purple heart is the easiest, most tolerant plant for cutting/regrowing and rooting, so you probably can't go wrong no matter what you decide 😊
Excellent info thank you! I’ll be snapping some of mine off before it hits 40° to grow in inside.
Should the water container be clear or a dark solid color? My thinking is roots grow underground in the dark 🤷🏻♀️ and do you just add water or should the water container be cleaned out and freshwater
Sorry, I almost missed seeing this message. I grow mine in glass jars usually, like sauce jars I clean out. I usually dump out the water and add fresh weekly, but I am not even sure that's necessary. They just root so easily, I don't think they're fussy. Good luck!! 💜
Thank you!!!!!💖💖💖💖
@@nsims77 😁 you're welcome!
I live in Kentucky at 6B and mine has came back as a perennial. I have only had it planted outside for a couple of years.
That's awesome! Anything that wants to be perennial is a win in my book! 😊
Oh wow!!! I’m in 6a (western IL) so that is awesome to hear!!! I assume you guys get the harsh freezing and snow that we do?
@@jamee_maree Yes. We have plenty of freezing temperatures. I am on well water and have to protect that water source from freezing in the coldest part of the year. They aren't the first plants to poke out of the ground but they do indeed make their way out in late spring.
@@mycarolinagarden Agreed. Less work for me.
So beautiful
Thank you! 😊
Awesome video! Picked up a PH for $5 at a farmers market last summer. Brought them indoors over the winter and started some shoot plantings. Now I have lots! I will be planting them everywhere this season! I love plants like this. I also love castor and cannas like you have but I am curious about yours. Are these new or just dwarf varieties? I'd love to have some of both that aren't 8' tall! I am in zone 6.
Hi there! I know, I also love plants like the PH that are SOOO easy to propagate! That's awesome about all your new babies! ☺ Yes, you can actually get dwarf varieties of cannas! It's so wonderful to have height options with those beauties. Thanks so much for your sweet message!
Thank you for the tips. My PH cutting is 6 months old now. I put it in a water jar and it has slowly produced 3 new leaves during the winter and a tiny little new branch starting out on the stem. The strange thing is it doesn't have any roots coming out yet. What should I do?
After 6 months it doesn't have roots in the water? That doesn't sound right at all! That's actually the opposite of my experience. My cuttings usually root in water in a few weeks. I'm not fussy at all about where I snip the stems, either, I just break them off and plop into water. Has you water jar gotten light? And do you change out water consistently? If yes to both of those, I would try to get another cutting if you can, or buy another plant purposely to propagate more. This really blows my mind. So sorry.
@@mycarolinagarden It's really surprising it didn't show any roots. I changed the water 2, 3 times a week. I'm thinking of cutting off the base (some algae has formed a couple of times) about half an inch, hoping some roots will come out. Like starting out anew. Do you think it will kill the plant?
I don't think that will kill the plant, and I would do the same thing. 🤞 it works!!
❤❤❤❤
I’m planning to bring plants inside that can’t handle our winters - this one included. The main thing I can’t figure out is how to keep my cats from getting it. I will definitely hang it but as we know, they will prob try to use it as a toy lol. Or I can leave it in my indoor greenhouse but same prob there bc they are able to get inside thru the bottom of the sheeting I hung. It didn’t even cross my mind at the time 🤦🏼♀️ Anyone have suggestions? Or DO NOTs ha
I found a gang of These at my apartment pool grabbed a few and toook a pic on Google and now I’m here thanks for the video
Haha, love it. Great to hear the back story 😀
Are the leaves medicine?
I don't know anything about that unfortunately.
