Sun: Indirect

String of Hearts thrives in bright light conditions. An ideal indoor location would be on a windowsill or a stool placed near a window, whether with or without blinds, depending on the plant's sun tolerance. Keep in mind that the growth of the plant is influenced by the amount of light it receives.

Light: Bright

Position the String of Hearts plant away from direct sunlight, but it can tolerate early morning or late evening sun. Optimal conditions involve filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain, considering that most homes provide predominantly indirect sunlight. Choose a location where the plant isn't exposed to direct sunlight for the majority of the day, yet still receives vibrant, indirect light.

Water: When fully dry

String of Hearts prefers the soil to be thoroughly dry before the next watering, which may extend up to 4 weeks in a typical home setting. However, this duration can vary based on the season, your specific environment, and lighting conditions. It's generally safer to underwater and only water when signs of dehydration, such as wrinkling or soft leaves, become apparent. Adjust watering frequency slightly upward during the warmer months.

Humidity: Low

String of Hearts has a low humidity requirement, so avoid misting or placing them in a terrarium.

Pet Friendly: Yes

You can feel comfortable having String of Hearts plant around your home in the potential case where your pet feels like nibbling on it. However, we typically recommend keeping your pets from eating any of your houseplants.

Pro Tip

Use distilled water or let tap water sit for a day prior. This prevents leaf tip burn.
