One trick to make your String of Hearts look fuller and bushier is through pruning. Doing this should allow your String of Hearts to recover in 2 or 3 more cycles of watering. Now when this happens, immediately give the plant a good drench of water (again, letting the soil dry in between waterings), and move it in a shaded spot. Underwatered String of Hearts, on the other hand, will show you symptoms of leaves curling up and may begin to look thinner as there’s no water left from its storage. The best time of year for repotting is during summer, their active growing period to minimize the risks. Although they can live pot-bound, repot them when roots poke out of drainage holes. These String of Heart plants are prolific and benefit from being repotted every few years. String of Hearts only need infrequent fertilizers and half-diluted fertilizers. They don’t need any fertilizer during winter, their dormant period. They can be fed at most once a month during their active growth period in May – August. However, if the leaves feel soft as you gently squeeze them and can easily bend, then it's time to give it a thorough watering.Īlthough String of Hearts is a succulent that can be kept in drier areas that most plants may not tolerate as much, it's better to place them where they can enjoy about 40 to 50% of humidity. If you feel that they are firm to the touch, then your succulent doesn't need to be watered for a while more. And remember to allow for the water to drain before putting the plant back in its place to avoid root rot.Īlso, one way to help you determine whether it's time to give your Chain of Hearts a good soak of water is through its leaves. To do this, you simply need to submerge 1/4th of the pot in a container filled with water for about 10 minutes. Otherwise, it's better to grow this succulent in a pot or container where you can easily carry it indoors as soon as the temperature starts to drop for protection.Īnother way to ensure that your String of Hearts only gets the right amount of water it needs to thrive and grow happy is by watering it from the bottom. The String of Hearts can be grown outdoors as a sprawling ground cover, in rock gardens, or for cascading down walls during the summer months or even all year round, given that you are located in USDA zones 10 and above or where the temperature is consistently maintained at 60 ☏ or warmer. It can grow up to 2 to 3-inches tall and has purple-toned stems that can reach about 3 to 9 feet long, so make sure to hang this plant somewhere high, for you to be able to witness how breathtaking it can be, especially when it starts to cascade out of the pot like a waterfall.
