String of Hearts

Brief Description

String of Hearts is a charming trailing succulent known for its delicate, heart-shaped leaves that grow in pairs along thin, wiry stems. The leaves are typically green with silver variegation, and the undersides can be tinged with purple. It forms tubers on its stems and roots.

Care Instructions

Provide bright, indirect light; direct sunlight can scorch the leaves. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, as it is susceptible to root rot. Well-draining soil is crucial. It prefers warmer temperatures and moderate to high humidity. Fertilize sparingly during the growing season. Propagation is easy from stem cuttings or tubers.
