About String of Hearts

History

String of Hearts was discovered hanging from rocks on Groenberg Mountain in Natal, SA, in 1881. Thirteen years later, in 1894, a living plant was sent to Kew Gardens.

Cultivation

String of Hearts can be propagated easily through a number of methods. The simplest method is to propagate the string of hearts from seed tubers of mature plants which can simply be picked off and placed on fresh soil.

Care

Grow string of hearts in bright indirect light, out of direct sunshine. Water regularly in spring and summer, allowing the soil to completely dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in winter, and never let the plant sit in water. Fertilise with house plant fertiliser once or twice a month during Spring & Summer.
