How to Care for String of Hearts Plant

String of hearts plants are typically sold potted in hanging planters. Follow these steps to care for string of hearts:

• 1. String of hearts prefers bright indirect light. String of hearts will not survive in low light, and direct sun will scorch the leaves. Bright indirect light can lead to more variegation on the leaves. If there are large spaces between the leaves, your string of hearts may not be getting enough light.
• 2. Water consistently. During the spring and summer, water once or twice a week. During the fall and winter when the plant is dormant, water every two weeks. Make sure the soil is dried out in between watering. Overwatering can lead to the yellowing of leaves and root rot. String of hearts plants store water in their leaves and can survive in dry conditions, but if the leaves on your plant look wilted and deflated, it needs water.
