String of Hearts Plant like heat and bright light but they don’t tolerate direct sunlight. One of the easier ways to see if they get sufficient light is to see the colour of the leaf and the gaps between leaves: String of Hearts leaves will be wider apart and lighter in colour with less marbling if the plant needs more light.
String of Hearts water need is just like other succulents, so make sure you give them a good soak after the soil is completely dried out from the last watering. In the winter, the plants need even less water than summer.

HOW TO PROPAGATE STRING OF HEARTS
String of Hearts is relatively easy to propagate, there are three main methods to propagate them, as introduced below: Water Propagation Method This propagation method is popular as it is quite easy to carry out. All you need to do is to prepare a vase, scissors, and some water. Then cut off the vine pieces you want to root, put them in the vase, and wait for root to grow. Remember to place the vase in a warm area with enough light so that the root can grow more quickly. The time needed for roots to grow depends on light and temperature, with the right conditions, roots will appear after a couple of days.
Soil Propagation Method:
To carry out this method, you need to cut off the vines, then remove the leaves on the side that you will plant and stick the vines into the soil. In this step, you have to ensure that the nodes are covered in the soil so that the root can grow. Make sure the vines are placed in a light and aerated area with the soil slightly moist (water once a week) for the roots to grow out.
Prefer bright indirect light.
Allow soil to dry out between waterings.
