How to root your String of Turtles & Variegated Chain of Hearts
You can root your cuttings by placing them on top of well-draining potting mix (we like fine succulent mix with added pumice or perlite) or sphagnum moss or fern fibre - the nodes will grow roots and eventually new growth will form. You can gently pin your cuttings down with our handy Plant Soil Pins so the nodes stay in touch with the soil to start rooting. Keep the cuttings warm (ideally between 18-25 degrees) and the substrate nice & moist (but not overly) to encourage healthy growth. While your cuttings are rooting and establishing, provide them with extra humidity to speed up this process.
If you prefer water propagation, you can simply place your cuttings in fresh water (room temperature water is recommended). Remove the leaves on the bottom part of your cutting that will be underwater (at least 1 node) in your glass or vase. This will help to prevent rotting of those leaves and keep the water fresh. Then, place in a warm spot that receives plenty of bright, indirect light (no direct sun though) and change the water regularly.
String of Turtles & Variegated Chain of Hearts Plant care
These guys prefer a well-draining soil mix. Let the soil dry out at least partly before watering again to avoid soggy soil or wet feet. Both the Variegated Chain of Hearts and String of Turtles like bright light but do not do well in direct sunlight. They will love you for any extra humidity you can provide them with.
Best suited to average indoor conditions of around 18-25 degrees. Both only require a light fertiliser through the summer months.
