# Help! My string of hearts is turning yellow at the top!!! Why is it…

_Posted by Plantperson🌱🌵🌱 on 2026-07-10_

Help! My string of hearts is turning yellow at the top!!! Why is it doing this? It’s really happy with the new vines it’s making but the top isn’t going well. The soil is damp too though.

omg i almost thought that was a real lizard for a sec 🤦‍♂️ how often do you fertilize? usually loss at the bottom as new growth comes in is nutrient deficiency.

I haven’t started using fertilizer yet, just got it about a month ago

You should try doing a liquid fertilizer every second watering. You don’t have to mix it at full strength, I’d recommend 1/4-1/2 strength and bottom water it if you have the ability to as getting too much water on the leaves could be trapping moisture that causes yellowing too
