Holy smokes how in the world are you keeping up with this frequency of videos and they are still solid content. You have no idea how happy it makes me to see new plant videos every day. It's the best feeling to unwind after work and get to watch your videos! I am really excited to watch your sub count go up because youre not getting enough recognition for your commitment to you content:)
Your String of hearts is etiolating. The long arms arent growth from health, its from reaching for more sun. You know its healthy when the arms are growing but the space between "hearts" in the stem is small. the arms should be compact with hearts instead of having so much space between them. I think more light, as you mentioned, should help a bit.
I watch for them to get wrinkly and then bottom water. Cut some strings and wrapped them around in a circle on too of soil and voila, a new plant.... :-)
You can wrap strands, without cutting them, around the top on the soil and each node can grow a new strand. To keep them in contact with the soil to activate the node pin them down gently with a hair pin💚
Would you an update on all these??! I just got a variegated string of hearts that I’m in LOVE with, and my string of pearls I rescued from a nursery two months has spitting out growth every where and it’s getting so long!
For the string of pearls, you can gently squeeze the pearls and if they are kind of squishy, they are thirsty, but if they are firm and hard, they are fine. Also, if the new pearls/bottom pearls aren't shiny and look dull, they are thirsty. I'm not sure if this is true, but it has worked for me for a long time :)
For my string of pearls and bananas it's so easy to propagate! I take long strands and wind them into the top of a pot and water it. They root and grow new vines rather quickly. I did this with string of bananas in October and now the pot has new vines hanging over the pot that are 10+ inches long and it's winter. I live in the central valley of California though and grow mine outside under my patio that has shade cloth. They get lots of sun and are protected from frost
Hellloooo just found ur channel! I’ve kept my string of pearls alive since Feb and there has been a lot of growth. I even had it in a no drainage pot up until last month. I’ve moved them into succulent soil and I now water them fully till water runs out when the soil is pretty much bone dry. I’m seeing good results. Not sure that helps. Oh and it’s in a terracotta pot with a drainage hole now lol
Not sure if you’ll see this but I’ve successfully propagated SOP in water! I had a strand fall out of the pot that was dry/shriveled and I popped it into water not expecting anything… literally the fastest rooting prop I’ve ever had. Within days looooong roots and the pearls rehydrated. There’s new growth and it’s thriving. Completely unexpected.
I live in California and I’ve managed to find string of pearls, bananas and watermelons. I’m still looking for the hearts and the turtles. Thanks for the info! 🥰
Trim some of the string of hearts so it shoots out more vines and it will look fuller. Yiu can put back the cuttings in the soil to make it look dense.
Oooof, just got my first string of turtles from Edinburgh botanics.Already pretty sure she plans to huff to death ,looking forward to this 🤗Big smiles , Tish🌺
I had to pay $13 for a 2” pot of string of turtles and I’m pretty sure it has root rot 😭 but to make up for that the other day I found string of dolphins and a ruby necklace for $3 each at menards.
I think the sting of turtle would look amazing on your shelf at a tilt like you held it to show the top! That would give it the light it would need on thr top too.
Checkout the "butterfly"🦋 propagation method. And don't be scared lol...some plants thrive in different propagation methods depending on their natural habit.
I love string of turtles, this the first time i see it. I have string of tears that i prefer than string of dolphins.. I bought my string of tears for about 4 dollars only 😊
I'm in the extreme replay crew here 😬 My string of turtles went from barely there at this time last year to being in an 18 inch tall wine glass and they are then trailing onto the table below them. Their pot doesn't go ask the way to the bottom but for the most part i water then wish a spray bottle so each individual vine is actually in a watered area, then when i are it dripping ever so slightly i stop. I don't dump the water from the glass as it helps to keep the soil damp longer, which isn't horrible when you've got more shallow rooted plants. This summer with the ambient humidity being 70 percent inside i didn't water at all, I've been getting inflo like crazy and it's hilarious bc they're the dumbest things to the point they're cute 🤣 My other string of is bananas, it's in a 1 inch pot and i sit it in a tray and bottom water weekly, i had no clue that it would want so much to drink so often but that could be the tiny pot issue, my daughter has one as well and I've had to reroot hers and rehydrate it a few times bc it gets dry rot so fast! She likes the pot though so doesn't want it switched, i did give it a better soil though! I would seriously LOVE to know how these companies can successfully grow in the soils they do. It's either like a sponge that you could wring out or its like a cracked desert! How!?
I finally was able to find a string of dolphins at a nursery I went to yesterday!! I was so happy!! I’ve been looking forever and have always been hesitant about ordering online so I never got one lol
Do you have any tips for Alocasia? I love love love the alocasia amazonica but I struggle to help it actually thrive. I'm on my second one and it had so many leaves in the beginning and sadly now I'm down to one single beautiful leaf 🥺😢 and tips would be greatly appreciated!☺️
I love all those strings... I own them all. My favorite is my string of turtles. She grows so easily. I have 4” one and she is ready for a 6” pot. My variegated string of hearts has finally poured over the edge of a 4” pot. She is a night mare so slow to grow. I use grow lights and they help keep top of my plants happy.
SOP hate humidity and they should literally be flooded with water when it’s time to water them, they should be super dry between waterings, they like cactus and succulent soil, they can burn in direct sun if not acclimated properly, they are a succulent and grow the same as every other succulent.
The strong of pearls actually propogate really easily if you wanna give it a try. Mine got way too much moisture and I saved what I could from it, changed to a super well draining potting mix, and just layed the strands I saved on-top of the soil. Each pearl will shoot out a root!
I have some SOH & VSOH that are border line not sure whether they like me or hate me. Fingers crossed 🙏. They're in my East window so morning and afternoon light but in NH and sunshine is scarce. I love your SOH hope mine takes off. I also live the matching Terra Cotta pots with the white etching where did you get those? Very nice 🌱💚
You talk about the plant leaning. here is more scientific. Heliotropism, a form of tropism, is the diurnal motion or seasonal motion of plant parts in response to the direction of the sun. The habit of some plants to move in the direction of the sun, a form of tropism, was already known by the Ancient Greeks.
What kind of language is "THESE ONES " it should be THIS ONE , you best study on how to really grow a plant before you can tell any one how to grow a plant .
String of pearls can be water propagated. They develop roots in water very quickly. I mainly soil propagate, though, because you just place them on the soil and they take off. I have great success with string of pearls. Never killed one and have been keeping them for three years. I have some near my south window and one in my east window. They all grow well in their varying light exposures, the one in the eastern exposure flowering for the second time in three months. I bottom water when the pearls stop looking full and begin lose their luster. They're very expressive when they need a drink.
How are your string of things doing now? I killed a string of pearls last year but recently got a tiny string of turtles to grow into the hanging pot I got for it lol. I literally stare at it every day! Lots of new growth!
I find that my string of pearls like a little more water than my other succulents. If you’re afraid of overwatering use a spray bottle to keep the top moist.
Maybe you can help me or tell me what to do I may of made a mistake or maybe you can tell me a way to help fix the problem lol I went a bought 2 Hoya and a string of turtle and two other succulent type hanging plants that's soil is to wet I guess the store over watered them should I just turn them over without disturbing the roots and place them in a terra cotta pot to dry out or leave them as they are to dry out I don't want the roots to rot and the string of turtle keeps dropping piece off it
My string of pearls has lots of new growths and lately I've been noticing that some of the new growths are turning black at the tip! Does anyone know the reason to this?
That’s why they die. If too close to a window even in a southern window if they get too hot or too cold or a draft is when you see these getting temperamental and they will get too hot and burn which on them looks often like the plant you showed that died from under watering. Drafts are not good for strings of pearls. Plus stag moss is the best thing to propagate them in. As with most stringed plants there are several types of variegation that will work butterfly, and others. Plus honestly it shouldn’t really have a regular soil. Best with a succulent cacti soil mix. it really needs a fast draining so they don’t get soaked and bloated or stretched out. Just soak during its growing season by you climate. Less watering in non growth periods. Then you can soak them and then let dry out. These plants like to be somewhat ignored but a tad more attention is needed if they have a looser soil then they truly are difficult to kill and you’ll be a happy camper, just my bit of advice. Yellow is a sign of too much trouble water and non full strings. Ive been a collector for 40 plus years. All plant types. Favorite is pregnant onions and plants of a thousand, there are Several varieties! Love succulents and cati. But also love my and trailtrees
Great video i have gotten a few string ofs this summer my folphins started to revert so i vlipped them back and put the strings i clupped on the soil we have gotten to much rain so i tucked it under and behind others to protect from rain but still get light. So far so good the turtles liked the rain. If ican get them all going good maybei can make it through the winter inside. Keeping my fringers crossed
We must be twins!! LOL My "string of" journey is the same. I am determined to have a healthy dolphin plant!! Once I ordered a full plant online, took it out of the box it immediately started to die, was dead the next day!!! Not kidding! I've got a tiny heart and it finally has new growth. Your advice to buy them as full plants is perfect. Too many cuttings dying because when you google these, it says how "easy" they are.....I've been gardening over 50 yrs and not so!!! Great video as usual!!
I think you would do much better with a good catus mix soil. And always water as soon as it dry. Had mine several years until I had to move. There is no reason to let it die that quick
The string of pearls like to be watered anywhere between 1-2 weeks depending on climate and humidity since mine are hanging and have good drainage I water them until I see the first drop come through the bottom draining hole I'm still new to them but ever since I began doing this and adding a red light over them during the day I have seen a drastic improvement in development
I have string of tears and string of dolphins and they both love both watering and love the sun I just put them by my window cell and I've had mine for about 2 months and they are growing so great.
When propagating string of hearts is it better to do it in soil or in water? {I already have them in water and they look okay} and does anyone know when its a good time to transplant (if in water)? I've tried string of dolphins & string of bananas in water but they always get root rot. I just want to be successful with string of hearts V_V
Hi Ashley! I know this is a bit late, but I got a string of turtles from lowes about two months ago. So far it's still "fluffy" on the top like when you first got yours but everytime I take it down to water it I notice loose turtles falling off. I was wondering what you were noticing when yours started balding? Did you manually clean up all the dead bits or did they fall off?
Hi Ashley, with the string of dolphins and pearls I live in Henderson NV and it’s very dry here and triple digits hot in summer. Do they like humidity or keep them dry?
I already have string of pearls and hearts. Now I’ve gotta buy four string of turtles and name them after Italian painters
I thought you were going to say that you'd name them after the ninja turtles 😂😂
@@johanna8864 ninja turtles are named after Italian painters, lol
😂🤣😂🤣
This video was posted on the same day I got my pearls?! Is it plant fate? 🤔🌱
IT IS EXACTLY FATE

Ya the one i showed in the video i had recently purchased, so it came like that. Shes now 7 feet long! Can you believe that?!
I WISH I could find a string of turtles in a big box store.
I watch for them to get wrinkly and then bottom water. Cut some strings and wrapped them around in a circle on too of soil and voila, a new plant.... :-)

Your string of hearts NEEDS more light. OMG... give it more sun and it will AMAZE you. Such a fast, strong grower.
I wont lie this is a solid video -me from 3 months in the future
Would you an update on all these??! I just got a variegated string of hearts that I’m in LOVE with, and my string of pearls I rescued from a nursery two months has spitting out growth every where and it’s getting so long!
ya totally!
Key to any kind of succulent is bright light, well draining soil and water once every 2-3 weeks.
Years ago my friend told me to water my string of pearls when you feel the trailing pearls are sticky, it works
oh thats a good way to do it!! i never realized!
For the string of pearls, you can gently squeeze the pearls and if they are kind of squishy, they are thirsty, but if they are firm and hard, they are fine. Also, if the new pearls/bottom pearls aren't shiny and look dull, they are thirsty. I'm not sure if this is true, but it has worked for me for a long time :)
Every time I go into my local box stores I say a little prayer in hopes of finding a string of turtles. They are so cute!
also meee
I just bought 3 string of turtles for 10 dollars are home depot.
For my string of pearls and bananas it's so easy to propagate! I take long strands and wind them into the top of a pot and water it. They root and grow new vines rather quickly.

I have string of pearls I’d love some string of hearts 💕 I’ll keep an eye out for them ! Never heard of string of turtles 🐢
I just went to home depot and they had a new shipment with string of hearts. I live in Missouri but you should check your local Home depot!
Makinzy Stroud thank you 😊

I just got a string of turtles and hour ago! 4 inch full pot for $10...absolutely adorable! 😍😍
My string of Turtles will be here tomorrow quite excited...
I propagate string of pearls in cactus and succulent soil, but you can propagate it in water.
I don't know why getting here early is so exciting but I'm happy to be here
you are my favorite commenter :)
@@PlantingAshley aw thank you ❤
Yellow leaves usually indicates overwatering as opposed to lighting. Cute pot your cutting is in. Take care. 🙂

String of turtles are such fast growers why are they so expensive?? Same with string of hearts.

I could do a video called “How to KILL string of hearts, string of pearls, string of turtles 🐢😵”.
Where do you get all you various string plants???
My string of pearls is a string of tears... why😭
String of pearls comes from a desert region, there's no humidity there. Of course they don't like humidity.
Have you ever heard of " Andy's Orchids".? Thought that would be up your alley.
Ngl, how much you touch your plants with your ungloved hands gives me anxiety.
My string of turtles grew so long but the length of it are really tiny turtles on it. I put it under a grow light for a while but still tiny.
This background :O 💚
The strong of pearls actually propogate really easily if you wanna give it a try. Mine got way too much moisture and I saved what I could from it, changed to a super well draining potting mix, and just layed the strands I saved on-top of the soil. Each pearl will shoot out a root!

could u message me on instagram @plantmeashley???
Just lay the SOP on top of the soil and water. Keep top layer of soil moist (NOT WET) and the plant will root.
Ok thanks!
It works really well! Also you can use Bobby pins (stretched out/made wider) to help keep the plant touching the soil)
If put a bit of expanded shale or horticultural grit it helps push out roots quicker
thank you :)
Where’d you get your bookshelf?? I’ve been looking fo a good y’all one for all of my plants

I use cactus and succulent mix for sop, I do propagation in soil has worked for me and no extra humidity and water every 7-10 days
I found a string of bananas in the garbage still potted and roots are still great. They must have been moving. Good timing girl!!!
If I have both string of hearts and string of pearls, are they allowed to be in the same pot? Or it's not good to mix them?
I just got my 1st string of hearts yesterday and I’m praying that I can get it to grow like yours!
I love the plande you have and zo match im Harold vrom thé nederlandsche.
I propagate the string of pearls in water great!
Any update on the string of pearls?
String of pearls is my favorite!!!
Do you bottom water these plants?
I have string of tears and string of dolphins and they both love both watering and love the sun I just put them by my window cell and I've had mine for about 2 months and they are growing so great.
I just got started collecting them
I enjoy so much seeing what’s new every morning
I’m looking for string of tears
When propagating string of hearts is it better to do it in soil or in water? {I already have them in water and they look okay} and does anyone know when its a good time to transplant (if in water)? I've tried string of dolphins & string of bananas in water but they always get root rot. I just want to be successful with string of hearts V_V
I have only ever done water and I wouldnt call it a sucessfull ventur so I dont think I'm the right person to ask about how to propagate them hehe!
Hi Ashley! I know this is a bit late, but I got a string of turtles from lowes about two months ago. So far it's still "fluffy" on the top like when you first got yours but everytime I take it down to water it I notice loose turtles falling off. I was wondering what you were noticing when yours started balding? Did you manually clean up all the dead bits or did they fall off?
I noticed it after a couple weeks :( it really needs bright light to be happy unfortunately
Do you think bottom watering is a good way to not over or under water them? I’ve started doing that with all my plants! 😊
Yes bottom watering is always ideal!
Is it necessary to use succulent mix for succulents or regular potting mix works?
Yes or you can make ur own well draining soil. Regular will hold too much moisture in and your plant will rot
Hi Ashley, with the string of dolphins and pearls I live in Henderson NV and it’s very dry here and triple digits hot in summer. Do they like humidity or keep them dry?
They should do well in either, but humidity for houseplants is always best!
The varigated string of hearts you gave me is putting out very purple babies and is loving it’s spot directly underneath the grow lights. 🥰
oh thats so fun!!!
