String of Hearts is an enchanting and popular trailing succulent, beloved for its delicate, heart-shaped leaves that dangle like a living necklace along thin, wire-like stems. The leaves are marbled with patterns of silver and green on top, with a lovely purple underside, creating a beautiful contrast. In summer, it may produce quirky, lantern-shaped purple-pink flowers. Its charming appearance and easy-going nature make it a perfect choice for hanging baskets, high shelves, or terrariums, where its vines can cascade gracefully.

Charming Trailing Hearts: Features cascading stems adorned with small, fleshy, heart-shaped leaves in a beautiful marbled pattern of silver, green, and purple.
Unique "Lantern" Flowers: Blooms with peculiar, tubular, pinkish-purple flowers that resemble little lanterns, parachutes, or pipes in the summer, adding to its whimsical appeal.
Perfect Hanging Basket Plant: Its vining, trailing habit is ideal for displaying in hanging planters or pots placed on high shelves, allowing its long stems (which can reach several feet) to beautifully spill over the edges.
Thrives on Neglect: A very drought-tolerant succulent that prefers bright, indirect light and infrequent watering (allow soil to dry completely between waterings). Overwatering is its main enemy.
Easy to Propagate: Readily propagated from stem cuttings or by planting the small, bead-like tubers (bulbils) that form along the stems.

Knowing how we measure the size?

When browsing our plants, you may notice size terms such as Gallon, Multi, or Stand. These describe how a plant is grown, containerized, or structured at the time of sale — not just its height. Understanding these terms will help you choose the right plant for your space and expectations.

🌱 Gallon Size (Container Size)

Gallon refers to the size of the nursery container the plant is currently growing in (e.g. 1 Gallon, 5 Gallon, 15 Gallon).

A larger gallon size generally means:
- A more established root system
- A sturdier plant
- Faster visual impact after planting
Example:
- 5 Gallon: Ideal for residential gardens, easy to handle, good balance of value and maturity
- 15 Gallon: More mature, provides quicker results in the landscape

Note: Gallon size does not guarantee a specific height, as growth varies by species.

🌳 Multi (Multi-Trunk / Multi-Branch Form)

Multi indicates the plant has multiple trunks or main stems growing from the base.

Commonly used for:
- Ornamental trees
- Feature plants
- Japanese maples, olives, crepe myrtles, etc.
Why choose Multi:
- Fuller, more sculptural appearance
- Strong visual presence even at younger ages
- Popular for design-focused landscapes

🌲 Stand (Single-Trunk / Standard Form)

Stand (short for Standard) refers to a single, dominant trunk with a raised or naturally formed canopy.

Commonly used for:
- Shade trees
- Street trees
- Orchard and structural plantings
Why choose Stand:
- Clean, classic tree form
- Easier clearance for walkways and lawns
- Preferred for long-term structure and uniformity

🌿 Choosing the Right Size

If you want instant impact → larger Gallon, Multi form
If you want long-term structure → Stand form
If you want flexibility and value → mid-size Gallon containers

If you’re unsure which size or form fits your project, our team is happy to help you select the best option based on your space, timeline, and design goals.

Q: Why are the leaves on my String of Hearts spaced far apart (leggy)?
A: This is usually a sign of insufficient light. While it tolerates some lower light, to maintain compact growth and vibrant leaf coloring, it needs bright, indirect light. Move it to a brighter spot, but avoid harsh direct sun which can scorch the leaves.

Q: How often should I water it?
A: Water thoroughly only when the soil is completely dry, and the leaves feel slightly less plump. This may be every 2-3 weeks, depending on light and temperature. In winter, reduce watering frequency significantly. It's much more tolerant of underwatering than overwatering, which causes root rot.
