# Question! My string of hearts propagation that rooted well and I…

_Posted by Alyssa on 2024-04-10_

Question! My string of hearts propagation that rooted well and I transferred to a tiny pot was once sticking straight up and now is laying down. Is that okay? I waited till the soil dried out before watering again and right now it’s in between waterings.

String of hearts usually drape and are flat to the soil, so thats normal. I would keep the soil a little more moist while the roots get used to the soil, since they just came out of water. Spray the soil by the base of the plant every few days until they get acclimated. Beat of luck!!!

Yay! Thank you haha, I was beginning to worry. Ah, that’s a good point, I’ll try to keep it more moist. Awww! So beautiful, I love the heart trellis!

Best way to tell if these need water or not is the ‘Taco Test’. You gently squeeze the leaf, and if it bends easily to resemble a taco, then it’s time to water. If it stays firm then wait a few more days and test again.

If the soil isn’t completely dried out when you do this test and the leaf bends easily it’s more than likely been overwatered and you’d want to address that issue.
