How to Care for String of Hearts

Lighting: They prefer to be in bright indirect light. I have mine in a south facing window about 10 feet away. They also do well in bright indirect East or West facing windows.

Watering: Because the string of hearts is semi-succulent, I allow the soil to completely dry between watering. Making sure you water thoroughly and allow the water to drain through.

Potting Mixture: Use a potting medium that is airy and well draining. Standard cacti or succulent soil with equal parts of perlite or pumice will be fine. You can add a pinch of peat moss or some regular potting mix for added nutrients.
