The String of Hearts is a sweet and fantastic hanging plant native to South Africa, Swaziland, and Zimbabwe. Due to its dark green with variegated silver markings or in cream, pink, and green heart-shaped, patterned leaves, this magnificent succulent has stolen the hearts of many collectors. It can grow up to 2 to 3-inches tall and has purple-toned stems that can reach about 3 to 9 feet long, so make sure to hang this plant somewhere high, for you to be able to witness how breathtaking it can be, especially when it starts to cascade out of the pot like a waterfall.

The String of Hearts plant likes heat and bright light but doesn’t tolerate direct sunlight.

So if you plan to grow your String of Hearts as an indoor houseplant, make sure to place it near the brightest window possible (South or west-facing windows is highly recommended), and keep the temperature at 80 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit and 60 degrees Fahrenheit during wintertime. If grown outdoors, the plant should be placed in a bright, shaded area.
