Chain of Hearts Plant

Chain of Hearts plant, also known as String of Hearts, is a succulent-like trailing vine with small heart-shaped purple and silver leaves. Easy to grow and adaptable to various conditions, although it is sensitive to too much water, well-draining soil is essential. Ideal for use with one of our Plant Propagation Stations. 

• This plant comes in a 16cm nursery pot with an attached saucer. 

• We recommend matching Chain of Hearts plant with one of our concrete plant pots. You can also check out our other indoor plants here. 

• You will receive a plant similar to the one pictured - each plant has at least two growing points but maybe even three or four.

🪴 General care: Easy

• Chain of hearts is very easy to care for. Being very adaptable to light and tolerance for no water makes it one of the great indoor plants for beginners. Bright light and infrequent waterings are key for a healthy plant. 

• Another benefit is that the chain of hearts doesn’t need a big pot or to be repotted often due to the small root structure - easy!

💦 Water: Infrequent

• Because it is a succulent-like plant that has adapted to dry conditions, Chain of hearts does not require frequent waterings. Swollen tubers in the soil retain a lot of water and nutrients. So make sure to let the soil dry out completely before watering again. A Sustee Soil Moisture Meter can help with this.

• In Summer, if it’s hot and getting a lot of light it will need watering more often. Once a week depending on the size of the plant and pot. While, in Winter, the growth is slow and the temperature drops so water sparingly, once every fortnight. 

• Also, make sure the soil is well draining because Chain of hearts is prone to rotting, so if in doubt, leave it for another week. It's very hard to kill from not enough water. 

☀️ Light: Moderate

• Being able to grow in both dark and light conditions makes Chain of hearts very versatile in terms of light requirements. For best growth however, a chain of hearts likes bright indirect light. Some direct light in the morning is okay. 

• Bright indirect sunlight will encourage faster growth and healthier colourful leaves. Whereas, not enough sun and the leaves and stems become pale. Too much sun and the leaves can burn and turn brown. 

🌱 Growth: Fast-growing vine

• Chain of Hearts (or String of Hearts for some) grows moderate to fast, depending on light conditions and temperature. It grows much faster in Summer and the growth rate slows down in Winter. 

• This plant prefers warmer areas but this is not necessary. However, you should protect them from very low temperatures and draughts.

•  You don't need special requirements for humidity, they will grow in standard home humidity. 

✂️ Maintenance: Low

• We love Chain of Hearts because it is low-maintenance.

• Make sure to save any trimmings as they can be used for propagation either in soil or water.
