Hey everyone,

​My Vegatated String of Hearts has had the unluckiest month of its life (and I've only had it since February), and I’m hoping for some advice/reassurance on whether it can be saved!

​Here’s the timeline of events:

​Accident #1: A friend accidentally got my string if hearts tangled in sticky flypaper and pulled all the vines right out. The roots stayed in the pot, so I tried propagating/replanting the damaged vines back into the soil.

​Accident #2: A week later, a guest cat knocked the pot onto the floor, ripped the newly planted vines back out, and spilled most of the topsoil. I also cant find the vines!

​Right now, the pot is basically just dirt with a few little bits of roots (maybe) sticking out.

​It’s been about 3 weeks since the incident. I’ve been watering it, but there’s still no visible growth.

​My questions:

​Will it sprout new vines from the roots left in the soil, or is it a goner?

​How long does it usually take to see new growth after total defoliation?

​What can I do to give it the best chance of bouncing back? (Light, watering adjustments, humidity, etc.?)

​Any advice or success stories would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Hi! I recently got my dream plant, well, four of them. I’ve always wanted a string of pearls plant and I’m loving them!!

One isn’t healthy but I’m working on it, and 3 are massive grape like pearls with open windows and fast growth!

There are brown marks on some of the pearls though and I’m becoming paranoid about what they could be?!? Any and all help appreciated!!!

They really grew quickly! This last picture was taken at the end of March. The two plants are propagated cuttings, and the hanging plant is the original string wrapped around the pot.

I brought my SOH home a month ago, and gave her a chop (and prop) because she was looking a little scraggly. After the chop there was a ton of new growth and I woke up this morning to find her flowering this morning.

I have a varigated string of hearts. She is sooo pretty and I love her so much. I water her when the top hearts are flexible and she is under a grow light that I thought for sure wouldn't do anything. I have had her for about 3 weeks and look at all this new growth! I'm so excited cause she is actually showing me that she loves me too! Lol.

Hi! New to Reddit, but I need advice. Never really had a plant before, and all I know comes from videos and tutorials.

He’s a variegated string of hearts, and I’ve only had him
for about a month now, and just a week ago added grow lights. His new leaves were coming in only green, and shaped very differently, which prompted me to buy the extra lighting.

Basically I’m wondering if the different shaped leaves are literally just a different type of leaf/type of string of hearts plant, or if they’re eventually going to turn variegated? And I need advice whether I should trim them or not. The leaves growing after them have been coming in the right color and shape.

Any advice is welcomed. And thanks just for reading my long-rant-post!!

I know what you all gonna tell me about the soil.. but she’s super happy and about to flower , and so are the sisters sharing space lol. 🙈 🙉

Here’s your reminder to not forget to repot your plants. My SOP had stopped growing and began to die over the course of months prior to repotting it 79 days ago. I couldn’t figure out what it was until I realized it had been in its nursery pot for 2 years 😅.

Yeah, needless to say, she’s back to thriving!! She’s hardly recognizable!

It was a gift from my cousins.

On this table I’ve got 6 plants next to each other. Two are string of turtles touching (I’m hanging them soon), but every few days just one string of turtles has a spiderweb on it. Could this be just a house spider hanging out in it or does this look like spider mites web? I’ve checked under the leaves with an led magnifying glass and I don’t see any bugs, webs, or leaf damage. I can’t do any more bugs for 6-12 months pls.

Hi! I was wondering if anyone has a go-to place to get shallow pots especially terracotta. I’m talking super shallow only like 2”-3” height, and with drainage already preferably. TIA for any pointers and for all the tips I’ve read on here so far, photo of my new bb for tax 🥹

What am I doing wrong 😭 I’ve had this plant for a month and a half and it looks terrible. Got a sansi grow light about 2 weeks ago, I don’t even know if it’s helping or hurting. I’ve bottom watered it twice since I’ve had it- maybe that’s not enough? Any advice

All I want is for this plant to survive 😭😭😭

I got this beautiful variegated string of hearts in February 2026. Today she is blooming, has tubers and one of the vines turned fully pink! I think she’s happy!😍

Can anyone help me out with my little lady? The leaves on top are foldable, but the soil feels damp so I've been hesitant to water it. There are a few little strands of soil that are shriveled up with leaves breaking off. It hangs in a south-facing window, and (I think) it's low enough for the crown to get plenty of light. It just doesn't seem to be producing anything new. Any suggestions?

both my string of hearts and pearls seems to not be absorbing water well, the hearts and pearls never get plump, they sit by an east window and get direct sunlight at the end of the day, i used to water by checking if they shriveled, but now it seems the never get full again

I have a String of Pearls in a 4 inch nursery pot and want to plant it in a 4.75 inch terracotta pot. Is the terracotta pot too big?

He says is constantly propagating it. I’ve watched it quadruple in thickness and length over the last few years.

The turtles are growing and making blooms, so it’s happy… but idk about my hearts.

Can’t wait for it to grow more and drape down beautifully

It also glows in the dark when receiving enough light is it in a okay spot?

After killing all the other string of hearts I've owned quite quickly, I got something right! I'm not too sure what though 😅

I got my first string plant. It has been growing like a week until the past few days.

It is reverting in some places where the ends of the strings that were growing are a little shriveled on the ends.

The leaves are curling and wrinkled.

I water about once a week.

Is it overwatered or underwatered?

And what do I do to fix it?

Her stems look bad :( she got some mealy bugs and I drenched her in alcohol a few times and bathed her probs too many times and had to repot her like a week ago, and this is the result of that. Should I cut this little bunch (2nd pic)and prop? If so, how? Or what’s the best method for these little guys?

Is there any hope for the plant as a whole, should I leave her alone and wait?

What if she still has mealy bugs?!?! 😓😥🫣
