Thank you so much for adding clips of the string of hearts as you talked about them in the video. It's SUPER helpful and what a lot of other plant videos that other RUclipsrs produce have been missing!! Keep up the good work!
The ball thingy you mention that the new plant grows from is called a tuber. Another way to propagate chain of Hearts is to plant the string where one of the small tubers occurs, Severing after a period of time when new growth is evident. That tuber will eventually grow quite large as the plant matures. The way you are propagating will give several new plants. I do like the way in which you propagate the string of hearts and will have to give this a go. Thank you.
So happy to find this video! I admire String of Hearts but they always look a bit skimpy to me so i never got one. Now I know the Jedi mind trick to make them fluffier up top, thanks to you.
Love this video! I’ve always liked SOH , but whenever i see they sell a fully rooted plant ( which usually is a bit expensive) the top always looked ... bald-ish. After watching this video, I immediately bought 5 variegated cuttings. Its been a bit more than a week now, and i can see some new growths and a couple of roots coming out 😍 cannot wait for it to be a month! Thank you!
I have had this plant on my shelf for over two years and I had no idea what it was called. So excited to learn about it and how to propagate it. Thanks for this video!
This video is perfect timing I was about to pot up my string of hearts yesterday and wasn't sure about weather to leave them in the moss or not.. I'm glad I decided to wait a few more days as this video has just answered my dilemma 😁 thanks a mil x
This video came just in time for me! I just received my first SOH last week I that I purchased from your mom! I believe I bought her last 6 inch pot she had for sale. Thanks girl for sharing with all of us your knowledge and your own personal green journey! 💚
This is so helpful, I bought two string of hearts starters and I know I’m obviously going to want a fuller plant and this is so so informative, thank you
Same! I just got 2 tiny starters today. Going to try this method to make them fuller and larger. I see you commented about 6 months ago. How have yours been growing?
You give so much good information. It gave me the courage to try the same myself. I recently got a small plant and wanted to try but waited till I got the information that was clearest. THANK YOU!!
One of the best videos on string of hearts propagation that I've seen......and I've watched quite a few. I am going to give this a try. I've only been doing water thus far and have yet to get a full pot. This looks like it may be the charm to get that lush plant everyone else seems to have 😊
The round things are called caudicies (singular caudex). Succulents that have them are called caudiciforms. They're are lots of them but they're not all related, many families have a few, even families that are not mostly succulents or mostly succulents but not caudiciforms. Some people specialize in collecting caudiciforms. Ceropegia linearis subsp. woodii is the commonest member of a large and variable genus, not all of them caudiciforms. It belongs to the family Apocynaceae (the Asclepiadaceae has been lumped into this). This is a large family with some very interesting members: Adenium (desert rose), Hoya, Pachypodium (Madagascan palm), Plumeria (frangipani) and a load of stapeliads (carrion flowers). SOH caudicies can be used as grafting stock for stapeliads.
Thank you, I'm currently trying to propagate my variegated string of hearts. When I bought them the two little pots only had two strings each and I also prefer a fuller plant. Hope to have fuller plants soon 🤞🏼🌱🚿
Just bought my first String of Hearts plant...noticed it whilst buying flowers from the florist. Thanks for the great video...I'm definitely going to try this! 🌱
i am taking your advice. I bought 2 strings on ebay, cute them all in pieces and lay on moss , like you said. after 2 weeks i can see already baby leaves growing ;-) when should i moved everything to a pot ?
Few months ago you mentioned that method in your video, and i gave it a chance. Oh my gosh it works like a charm. It works with coco choir too (in my country really hard to get spagnam moss)
This was so helpful! Thank you! I'm a bonsai person and knew nothing about this plant at all. I was actually out looking for bonsai trees and came across this in a tiny pot for .50. Figured why not and now I'm watching your videos. 🤷🏾♂️
This method is the absolute best and this is why I have 8 silver glory strands and BECAUSE OF THIS VIDEO. they are beautiful! I started with 10 and 2 still havent rooted in but 8 have and their strands each vary between 6-10 inches and some have more than one per "butterfly". I also have some of the strands that touch the spagnum moss that are rooting in now as well. So yes, best method ever! I had also done string of turtles this same way and they are amazing and full clear containers how. I still leave those containers closed and it's humid inside and they are very happy. I didn't leave the silver glory enclosed as long only because they started getting to long so I had no choice but to open the container finally. But I am so glad I came across this video because this is how I do all my strings now 😊
Thanks Harli! I'm tempted to try this method with the pot already filled with soil and with a layer of sphagnum moss on top. Saves the trauma of repotting when they are still very tiny but of course I'd lose the visual check. I really struggle with my standard SOH but funnily enough my variegata and my Silver Glory are doing great 🤔
I hope you'll propagate and sell Silver Glory! I have a standard SOH, variegated SOH, and a ceropegia linearis. I need to add Silver Glory to my collection!
Omg this is genius!! Thank you for sharing!!! I'm so excited to try this!! I did start a sphagnum propagation box a few days ago after watching your video. Today is day three and I already see roots starting on all my clippings in there!
Thank you for doing this video!! I just recently received a rooted cutting of SOH and it's literally just one strand at the moment but it's growing like crazy and I can't wait to try this propagation method. I love your videos btw! Been watching them a lot lately. :)
I love you and your videos! Great information in a fun and simple way to understand. One question- What fertilizer do you use in this string of heart propagation? Is it diluted? Thank You!!!
What a great idea to propagate the SOH! I normally do the "circle method" stapling the nodes to the soil. I'm gonna try this next! Love your plant videos.
I got my wisdom teeth removed yesterday so I've been resting a lot and watching videos. Thank you for all your great videos Harli. Your plant videos always encourage me to be a better plant mom, are entertaining and get me excited to care for my plants even when I'm not feeling too good. :) ❤❤
Aw I hope you’re feeling better now! It makes me happy you’ve been watching my videos. It means a lot to me that you’ve enjoyed them & feel inspired. I hope you are healthy, safe, & happy!
@@HarliG Thank you so much! Your videos are awesome. And I hope you and your family stay healthy, safe and happy too. I really appreciate the response. :) ❤
Satisfying to watch, the string of hearts is pretty and your other plants, but also you're so pretty 🌼 Yesterday I bought my first not very impressive looking SoH (after accepting that I'm never going to find satisfying exemplars in any garden center) and planned on patiently doing the string propagation, but now... I'm gonna try the butterfly method. Already kind of tried it with my String of Pearls a few months ago, after my mother plant somehow started getting really unwell, and the big baby is looking super healthy and lush, it worked so well putting lots of tiny cuttings on soil instead of unnecessarily long strings. *fingers crossed*
Harli I am two weeks in and the propagation pieces look great. I have had the lid on up until now. After watching the video again should the lid have been off this entire time 🤣
This is amazing! I just did my first propagation and I’m so excited too see if it works. I couldn’t find liquid root food but I did use a powder so I hope it’s the same thing. I just dipped the ends in it before placing it in the moss. Now I will anxiously wait to see the progress! So easy!! Thanks and Hello from Canada
Hi! Thank you so much for sharing this method of propagating SOH. I watched your informative video and propagated mine in August 2020. Today, it has grown so much and it's even got 2 tubers in the moss! They were exposed to direct sun daily for about 6 hours, and I have to drench the moss every day because they dry so fast. Thankfully, they were used to the sun and were thriving in the moss. I have moved them, moss and all, into a pot with potting mix. :) Thank you again!
Hey Harli, 😃 Question: Do you put a lid on over the SOH at first, or just leave it open? Thanks for the info, I haven’t tried the butterfly method, I will now. 😃💚
I was just looking for a video about propagating my string of hearts and then what do you know Harli G posts a video about it. Good to know you are getting my telepathic messages.
Hey!! I just started getting into the plant world and you've become my plant guru! I come to your channel and always find what I'm looking for. I have two questions, I don't have any south facing windows, would east be ok? And will this work with turtles?
One of the strings coming off of my plant is getting too long, I might snip it and give this method a try! Thanks for making this video, it's going to be very helpful!
O.M.GGGGG , just me over here admiring your variegated monstera deliciosa plant... :OOOO Love the video btw.. wondering if you had to cover the container for more humidity? I am planning on doing this method directly in my soil..
I guess it depends on where you live. Where I live the air is quite dry so I had the container in a Ziploc. But I reckon that if you live somewhere humid, you can leave them without covering them
Thanks so much for this info. Your such an incredible plant mom. I love how you add clips in so I can see what your talking about. It helps my brain to grasp the concept. Blessings and Peace ✌🏽🔆
In theory, could you do this with any vining plant? The idea of taking the WHOLE thing out instead of taking it all apart once it's rooted is really satisfying to me.
This is probably the most effective way to propagate. Especially if you live in an area that has such bipolar weather & humidity like I do. It's difficult for me to propagate with soil bcus of the inconsistent climate. Thank you 🤍
I can't wait to try this!! Quick question - do you put the lid on the tupperware container with the moss and cuttings, or do you leave it out without the lid?
Thank you for this video! I just started my SOH propagation in sphagnum. How do you water the SOH once they've rooted and you pot them? Bottom or top watering? Also, did you use Liquidirt every watering while propagating?
I realize this comment is dated but I wanted to answer for anyone who happens to be wondering the same thing you asked. I bought mine from a small local plant store. I was told when the leaves closest to the soil are easily bent when gently pinched to water it then from the bottom (they're typically stiff due to water retention)They told me it's prone to rot if you water from the top.
@@justrees4929 Thank you adding for this comment! I also add comments on older videos just in case someone after me finds it helpful! I will keep it in mind when I water my new SOH!
Thanks so much!! Very helpful. In the beginning of the summer, I divided an very old and larger plant into three smaller ones, and decided to try some stem and leaf cuttings with some of the broken pieces. I’ve got them in vermiculite. The leaves either have little roots, or are forming tubers. The stems, which I left long, are rooting where the leaves are. I’m so tempted to pot them up but it’s only been about a month. I wish I’d put them in regular soil mixed 50/50 with vermiculite. One of my tips with these plants is to grown them in either small or shallow pots that will dry out faster than bigger pots. I’ve had better success in clay pots with this plant. Too much wet soggy soil around their roots/tubers is not good. I also think to let them dry out between watering is best, and won’t kill them. Mine grow great under a skylight. I’d love to see them in their natural,habitat, I hear that the stems grow down to the ground and form huge mats.
If anyone reading this has reptiles or fish I’ve had great success sticking the container left open in my frogs bioactive vivarium bc he has lighting for his plants and it stays super humid! And I water propogate in my fish tanks lol, they love the fish water (I also use the tanks water for my plants when I do water changes)
I did try the moss method recently but...mold....omg the mold, it was everywhere. I transferred the cuttings to soil and they have been fine since. Note to self, in a climate where you already struggle with household mold, don't do moss, just don't.
You can treat the mold with a diluted hydrogen peroxide solution. Mold is very common when germinating cacti. I’m sure it’ll work with the propagations
I had the same problem and lost half of my monstera cuttings :(((( i just couldnt get rid of it (i didnt try the hydrogen peroxide thing cause i didnt know about it)
I was going to look for a string of hearts video and here you are. I’m going to do this today with my plant that’s looking a bit thin on top. Thanks so much 😄
You are so pretty, with or without make up. Thank you so much for this video. Your work is so great because you really show as you explain what you do. On top of it you showed the whole process with video for when the cuttings were grown and how you planted it. Extremely helpful!!! I can't wait to try this with my string of hearts. Thank you! -Love your work ❣👍🏻
This is amazing! Thank you for sharing. I have the lamest looking SOH purchased from eBay so I’m definitely going to butcher it tomorrow and turn it into a great one!
I recently purchased String of Turtles and several strings broke during shipping and unpacking. (Despite that they were beautiful plants.) While I was re-arranging my plant supplies anticipating the new plants I ran across a block of Sphagnum Moss. I couldn't even remember when or why I bought it. Now I know, I am definitely going to try propagating the strings using this method.
Oh man, here is me propagating my first string cutting in water. 😅😅😅😅😅 BUT I totally have a moss box already set up thanks to you soooooo I know what I'm doing this weekend! 😂😂 Thank you lovely!!!! 💖💖💖💖💖
Thank you so much for adding clips of the string of hearts as you talked about them in the video. It's SUPER helpful and what a lot of other plant videos that other RUclipsrs produce have been missing!! Keep up the good work!

A. Amazing. I can’t believe how fast they grew.
B. YOUR HAIR😍😍
Thank you 🥺❤️
I know, right? And her skin is glowing AF 😊
@Wendy Ambruson cover should be one but let in new air every few weeks.
With all respect, the fact that your hair, eyes, skin AND plants look so healthy and glowing cannot be a coincidence.
Came here to say this!
FINALLY A VIDEO THAT EXPLAINS HOW TO ACHIEVE A LUSH SOH!!!!!!
This method has worked wonders for my scraggly little plant haha
This is the best method!! I mixed variegated & non variegated together & absolutely love the look.
Wow that sounds interesting. It sounds beautiful

Thanks so much!! Very helpful. In the beginning of the summer, I divided an very old and larger plant into three smaller ones, and decided to try some stem and leaf cuttings with some of the broken pieces. I’ve got them in vermiculite. The leaves either have little roots, or are forming tubers. The stems, which I left long, are rooting where the leaves are. I’m so tempted to pot them up but it’s only been about a month. I wish I’d put them in regular soil mixed 50/50 with vermiculite.
One of my tips with these plants is to grown them in either small or shallow pots that will dry out faster than bigger pots. I’ve had better success in clay pots with this plant. Too much wet soggy soil around their roots/tubers is not good. I also think to let them dry out between watering is best, and won’t kill them. Mine grow great under a skylight. I’d love to see them in their natural,habitat, I hear that the stems grow down to the ground and form huge mats.
If anyone reading this has reptiles or fish I’ve had great success sticking the container left open in my frogs bioactive vivarium bc he has lighting for his plants and it stays super humid! And I water propogate in my fish tanks lol, they love the fish water (I also use the tanks water for my plants when I do water changes)
Wow! Such a simple way to propagate! Thanks! And your hair is looking gorgeous! 💕🇨🇦
I did try the moss method recently but...mold....omg the mold, it was everywhere. I transferred the cuttings to soil and they have been fine since. Note to self, in a climate where you already struggle with household mold, don't do moss, just don't.
You can treat the mold with a diluted hydrogen peroxide solution. Mold is very common when germinating cacti. I’m sure it’ll work with the propagations
I had the same problem and lost half of my monstera cuttings :(((( i just couldnt get rid of it (i didnt try the hydrogen peroxide thing cause i didnt know about it)
So happy to find this method. I can’t wait to try it! My string of hearts is just sad .
Thanks for the tip! Would this butterfly method work on the string of pearls?
I bet jt would, but I personally haven’t tried it! Maybe I’ll give it a go & do a video on that as well?
Harli G Ouu please do!
Yes pls try string of pearls an dophins. Love your videos.
Beautifully done! I just can't believe you are working with soil on carpet ;) xo
Hey !! Just wondering, do you leave it covered or uncovered when doing this preparation?? :)
I want to know the same
This is an amazing process. Just got a little itty bitty plant and once it does have butterflies i will be trying this, thank you!
I was going to look for a string of hearts video and here you are. I’m going to do this today with my plant that’s looking a bit thin on top. Thanks so much 😄
You are so pretty, with or without make up. Thank you so much for this video. Your work is so great because you really show as you explain what you do. On top of it you showed the whole process with video for when the cuttings were grown and how you planted it. Extremely helpful!!! I can't wait to try this with my string of hearts. Thank you! -Love your work ❣👍🏻
Harli! Loved this vid and omg you look so refreshed here!
I wish I could re-thumbs-up this video every time I watch it 😊
I am not successful in propagating that plant but this method had help me thanks for sharing
You've made me obsessed with sphagnum moss since your prop box video you did!!! You're tips are always helpful
I’m obsessed with jt too 😂 it is a game changer
This is amazing! Thank you for sharing. I have the lamest looking SOH purchased from eBay so I’m definitely going to butcher it tomorrow and turn it into a great one!
I just got a bunch of cuttings. Will need to try this method!
Ohhh please keep me posted on them if you do!
I recently purchased String of Turtles and several strings broke during shipping and unpacking. (Despite that they were beautiful plants.) While I was re-arranging my plant supplies anticipating the new plants I ran across a block of Sphagnum Moss. I couldn't even remember when or why I bought it. Now I know, I am definitely going to try propagating the strings using this method.
Thank you i had no idea how to make plants grow thicker now i will be cutting my long vines to make new plants
Oh man, here is me propagating my first string cutting in water. 😅😅😅😅😅 BUT I totally have a moss box already set up thanks to you soooooo I know what I'm doing this weekend! 😂😂 Thank you lovely!!!! 💖💖💖💖💖
You look radiantly beautiful!
Thank you so much
I did this in April to my variegated string of hearts and im so excited!!
Any changes so far?
@@samuelgarciacampana2430 not yet. But its only been a couple of weeks so far. They still look good tho.
i am pretty sure SOH is going to blow up again, i am glad i bought mine when i did
Me too! I thought I paid a lot for it ($18) at the time, but I can’t imagine what the prices will become here soon
