Yep... do a propagation video for this plant. Also...it would be cool to see a review of house plant books you like, and why you use the book. Maybe a must have resource list.. for outdoor and indoor gardening. (Most people use TH-cam for there information,but I like having books for in-depth information on specific plants, techniques, climates.)
@@epicgardening hi there, question for you, do you think the pot should be so deep? or can I have a pretty healthy plant in a 3 inches deep pot? thank you :D
YES! Please do a string of hearts propagation video and when you do, please slow down and show close ups of precisely where to make the cuts and how to pot the cuttings. Much appreciated!
Two weeks ago I found a baby string of hearts hidden in the decor section of a garden store. I didn't buy it because it was dry and I thought it was dead.. Went back today and it was still there and it grew 😂 so I bought it asap!
Bought one this past weekend visiting San Diego in a farmer's market for $20 of a 6" hanging pot. The plant is full and beautiful and long. I had a small one bought in Los Angles for $5 in a 2" pot 6 months ago and doing very well indoor. Thanks for the information for plant care.
Yes! Thank you for mentioning leaf coloration: I noticed only a few of my leaves are this gorgeous, almost black green, and I was hoping to get my whole plant looking like this. I'll have to keep my window open more!
Epic Gardening it was almost like fate it was a rooted cutting that one of the staff at the nursery had done but someone put it on the shelf with the Hoya plants 😂 it wasn’t actually for sale but they sold it to me for only $12! Very strong variegation almost all white.
I got 5 cuttings in the mail and put them in water at first to propagate, then got some rooting compound and stuck them into the soil, they were already growing a little, and now they are growing better and it is such a cute little plant that I can't wait for it to get bigger. Thanks for sharing this video. I would actually like to see a propagation video.
Thank you for lots of great info. I have 5 little ones of these, in all sorts of set ups including water propagation stations. ☺ So this weekend, thanks to you I can repot some of them from their nursery pots... Oh and I am looking around the comments and still cannot decide yet whether people are hungrier for more plants or thirstier for YOU 😂 🤭
One of my favorite houseplants! These actually make a beautiful topiary with a topiary form. Unfortunately, mine died when I was on vacation and the house sitter overwatered it.
Hey, what I've always been told (and from my own experience) plants darken when they have LESS light and lighten when they are closer to light. Plants that are getting less light need to produce more chlorophyll. Plants getting more than enough, don't need to produce more chlorophyll which is what makes plants green. If you place variegated SOH in brighter light (or any other variegated plant), they will lighten and bring out the markings (and some pink:)). Less light and the leaves will become more solid darker green.
It's the opposite for me... Most of my plants turn a very light green when they don't receive enough light... And get darker and more colorful when they r in the sun... Goes for my succulents too.... They turn greenish in lesser light conditions and pinkish or red in the sun...
Thank you! So much good info.. I just got one today.. paid a lot...... Definitely a good video for beginning for this plant. I feel confident about this plant now. 🤗🤗
Pretentious? This plant was named after John Medley Wood, one of South Africa's Great botanists from the Victorian Ages. He was an absolute legend and this plant is a wonderful tribute to the great man. He was a prolific collector and sent high numbers of new plant species back to Kew gardens and many plants were named after him
Omg this is the one I had originally? Does it produce white trumpet shape flowers? It died after 5/6 years or more, I moved its position and watered it. I was absolutely devastated and really felt bereaved. I have the pink variant but have been looking for this specific one. My baby up to the point of overwatering had been reported twice had thick shiny green leaves and She was so beautiful 🤩 thank you so much for this video.
Hi, new to ceropegia woodii, it's a beautiful plant so would like to learn to propagate it and maybe give to friends and family. Thanks for all the great advice
Hey question :) I have SOH growing and everything looks good. What is really noticeable is that lots of flowers come out! Each pair of leaves produces at least one flower and sometimes 2 and 3 flowers. Does this indicate that the plant is healthy? Thanks for all the info
I always giggle when people say that a plant which was made to thrive outside is better indoor. Lol everytime I think about it I crack up lol but definitely agree that it needs to gradually move outside
A very pretty plant! I have a hard time keeping indoor plants healthy. .? I also water the same way :) I quickly water everything, I'll go back for a second water and take my time. You have a beautiful assortment of indoor plants♥
Hey Kevin, just wanted to point out on that on your website's article for this plant's care, you wrote that this plant, preferring drier soils, shouldn't be potted in terracotta because of the material's absorbent nature and that one should opt for plastic pots instead
I appreciate your videos! You are definitely one of the best when it comes to information on house plants. I have purchased two of these plants now. One I purchased online and was advertised as a 4 inch plant. When I got it, it was three separate (barely) rooted vines in what appear to be maybe biodegradable pods? I can’t tell exactly what it is because I haven’t wanted to mess with it. These separate pods are super compact however, and the rest is just back filled with soil. Should I leave these pods alone? Is it ok to try and break apart? The plant appears healthy for now. I then recently purchased a 6 inch pot that was super lush on top and had a couple vines starting to trail several inches. Paid $15. I thought it was a steal. I get it home and I realize it is mostly a bunch of cuttings laid on top of the soil!! Very wet soil at that. It’s anything but lush. Is this normal to find like this?! That’s crazy. It’s not like this is the variegated type that’s so hard to find, and people would be happy to have it all. That happiness I had when I left the nursery has all been deflated now lol ☹️.
Mine is just struggling since I got it home from the nursery. It wasn't healthy when I got it from the nursery and have been trying to take better care of it. But leaves shriveling and I try give it a watering schedule. Like I check it every week. If it is still wet I don't water if it's dry I water but leaves still look terrible and shriveled. I don't know if it was under or over watered at the nursery I know they dropped it. But it shows improvement then it reverts back to doing terribly. New growth dies off.
I only have east and west facing windows. I just received some SOH plants that aren't rooted, do I need to water propragate them before planting or can I just stick in some soil? Same with the SOP, SOD, SOB & SOTears. Please do a propragation video.
Will snipping off shriveling leaves encourage the stem to branch out with new growth? I had to do a rescue on my plant which had been severely overwatered at the nursery, and it's recovering, but some leaves aren't the nicest!
PLEASE HELP! I was wondering all of the new growth of my string of hearts are quite small and not as round as the normally are. I can’t seem to find an answer ANYWHERE to why this is happening. It lives in a very sunny window where during early spring it was popping up HUGE leaves, now they are quite small and more spread apart and pointy. Any help would be very appreciated!
hello! i just got my string of hearts about a week ago, i believe it needs a drink. i’m noticing the ends of the chains are beginning to wither and die. the new growth has become brown. not sure why, any ideas? thank u
I have a question? Are the seeds inside the flowers or are they on the tips of the flowers??? From a video I seen it looked like they were the little black things on the top of the little flowers?? Do you know anything about that??? Thank you
Hello ... i think i have over watered my string of heart and some of the leaves became yellow and falling ... !_! also i have already got a lot flowers at the base ... any suggestions for it ... ^_^
Oh eric u make it sound easy peeezy. I spent over $100 for 8" vsoh it came in what i call a plant vice. Plastic zero aeration bottom was sealed! Seller said do not repot let it acclamate. Problem...it was rock hard. HERES MY QUESTION HOW CAN I WATER W NO DRAINAGE. IT DIED. NO REFUND. WTH? I ORDERED ANOTHER....PLZZZZZ HELP. A. SHOULD I IMMEDIATELY REPOT? B. NEW ONE IS 24-36".....ADVICE? PLEASE HELP. I AM TIRED OF KILLING MY PLANTS. PS. so disappointed u never came out to see my prop in rsf. Offer stands. Happy planting!
Can I put this in a hanging glass pot with no drainage hole ? I have it in a glass thing now with no hole and gravel and sand at the bottom and a lid for humidity and it seems to be doing very well (just two strains trying to propagate)
Thank you for the video I just got a string of hearts💕. I would love to know your tips on using the led grow lights for plants that need bright indirect light like this one? I used the grow light for my pilea and I got symptoms of too much light. Don’t want to mess it up with the string of hearts too.
Is It ok to store soil in a bin loose like that? Right now I have a similar plastic bin with cacti soil, orchid bark, perlite, worm castings, and indoor potting mix all in their separate bags, but it’d be easier if I could just mix my usual soil mixture that I most frequently go for.
Does anyone know why they get curled leaves? Mine are mostly young leave that curl and seems happy pushing out a ton of new growth. Just not sure why so many curler leaves
hi! all your tips help me so much but what would you do if your leaves start curling? i realized its been around 40 degrees f at night, could that be why?
I have mine under the eaves on my verandah and always forget to water it. We're in a drought and the temps are above 30degc. It's flowering like mad. The flowers are a deep purple, nearly black.
Thumbs this up if you want me to do a propagation video for this plant!
Where can i get this plant? I was gifted one and had it for yrs until i got sick then it died.
I hate weeds with stolon type structures.. they are so damn hard to kill... HAHAHA.. nice informative video, just busting your chops a bit, bro

Yes!
YES PLEASE
Blind person here, thank you for verbalizing of
Yes propagating this would be wonderful for all of us here
Of course! I try to do my best for sight challenged!
Hooray for inclusivity!
If an individual leaf still has the little petiole on it can you stick that in the dirt like vertically and possibly propagate that?
@@epicgardening hi there, question for you, do you think the pot should be so deep? or can I have a pretty healthy plant in a 3 inches deep pot? thank you :D

I like that plant. I know somebody who collects heart-shaped rocks and I think she may like something like this for her office.
I bet she'd die if she got it as a gift!
My neighbor collects heart shape rocks also! It must be a thing! Lol

When your string of hearts pull on our heart strings! ❤️🥰 Thanks for keepin it epic!
Bahaha

This is my favorite plant, and you are my favorite TH-camr!
I put mine in direct sunlight and a couple days later I was astonished at how much it had grown! Unbelievable!
As a new plant enthusiast I’ve had great success with this plant in terra cotta and recently found a variegated version for a great price!!!
Oh wow, where'd you find the variegated?
Epic Gardening it was almost like fate it was a rooted cutting that one of the staff at the nursery had done but someone put it on the shelf with the Hoya plants 😂 it wasn’t actually for sale but they sold it to me for only $12! Very strong variegation almost all white.

Your very charming and knowledgeable. Thank you for the knowledge 🥰
One of my favorite houseplants! These actually make a beautiful topiary with a topiary form. Unfortunately, mine died when I was on vacation and the house sitter overwatered it.
Oh no, that's so sad :( - I'll have to check out a topiary design!
Wow that seemed so simple!!
Yes, I would like to see how you do the transfers of strng of hearts!!
Love this video. I've had a string of hearts for a few months now with a foot of growth per month, definitely a favorite
It's crazy how fast it goes when conditions are perfect
WOW...JUST GOT MINE YESTERDAY..HOW ARE YOU OR WHAT ARE YOU DOING EXACTLY TO TAKE CARE OF IT ???????
My goodness you are gorgeous! Thanks for the tips!
Very kind of you!
You are very watchable :) Thank you!
We just bought one! Thank you for the video
Amazing video, Kevin!
Very useful for the string of hearts that I just get.
Greetings from Mexico

@@sunchi1461 some plants go red as a natural sunscreen when they are getting too much sun. It can be a sign they need less light tbh.
Yes I would love too see you propagate this plant..
I hang mine by a window with afternoon sun and it is growing like crazy! Never looked so good!
Thank you! So much good info.. I just got one today.. paid a lot...... Definitely a good video for beginning for this plant. I feel confident about this plant now. 🤗🤗
Good luck!
I love this plant finally i got one, very informative video thanks for sharing
Yes! Please show a string of heart propagation. Thanks for your videos.
Appreciate you watching
Thank you for this video! All I needed to know in one video! 👍🏻✨💫 subscribed 👍🏻👍🏻
My string of hearts sitting close to west facing window and grows like crazy.
You can also water propagate from cutting✌️
Love it! Very informative. Thank you
Beautiful eyes! Ohh and beautiful plant for sure
My fastest growing plant. So rewarding and so beautiful! Great informative video.
Glad to hear you've had a good growing experience!
Yes for a propagation video. I have two of these plants; one is variegated.
😊Thank you!! for the info about this lovely plant. I just got one, I’m your new fan here 🙌🏽

Hope you get it soon!
xfortunesquex check succulent depot. I just ordered a variegated string of hearts and variegated string of pearls.
Would love to see propagation of string of hearts video💚
Just cut the braid, put it in water, wait.
Thats really it.
Or you can just curl in on the soil and keep it wet until it roots out

Found mine at a thrift store!
@@epicgardening I should have figured! The best ones usually find you.

He kinda looks like them too
Love the string of Hearts! I like the plant shelf where the string of hearts draped on. Could you please let me know where you bought it. Thanks!
Hello there,
My plant keep losing its new shoots. They grow some length and then they get really thin. Any suggestions?
Is it okay If I keep myn in west facing window where it gets few hours of direct light
I would love for you to do the propagation video
if you fertilize what kind or type do you use? that is a cool looking plant, now i have to try to find one or ten

Can grow string of heart in ac room with artificial light?
Propagation video would be lovely please

Hey! This is great! Thank you 😊. Question... where did you get your tray??
not me falling for a stranger on youtube caring for plants 🌱 😅😍
Is the care for this any different for the variegated or silver glory versions?
Is It ok to store soil in a bin loose like that? Right now I have a similar plastic bin with cacti soil, orchid bark, perlite, worm castings, and indoor potting mix all in their separate bags, but it’d be easier if I could just mix my usual soil mixture that I most frequently go for.
What about humidity? I have mine close to a humidifier along with most of my plants
Just bought mine for $6.50 at bunnings. Only 12 leaves on 1 tiny string
Bottom heat? What is that
Yes please, propagation in water and also in soil. ta.
Does anyone know why they get curled leaves? Mine are mostly young leave that curl and seems happy pushing out a ton of new growth. Just not sure why so many curler leaves
I literally came to this video for this answer!! Did you ever happen to figure it out? Lol 🙈
Needs a little more water when leaves start to curl :)
hi! all your tips help me so much but what would you do if your leaves start curling? i realized its been around 40 degrees f at night, could that be why?
Yeah it's not gonna LOVE those temps, curling also a sign of low water
Epic Gardening Thank you! I might have to repot it into a smaller pot so its roots can better absorb the water
