Frequently Asked Questions
1. How long does it take for the cuttings to root?
Typically, Variegated String of Hearts cuttings will start to root within 2-4 weeks, depending on environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity. Using a rooting hormone can speed up the process.
2. What kind of soil should I use for propagation?
Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix. This type of soil prevents waterlogging, which can cause the cuttings to rot before they have a chance to root.
3. How much sunlight do the cuttings need?
Provide bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the delicate leaves of the cuttings. A spot near an east- or west-facing window is ideal.

Keep the soil slightly moist until the cuttings have rooted. Once rooted, allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
