Hi! Any tips for propagating this little variegated string of hearts? I got her off an experienced plant caretaker and was told to just stick her in some soil. Already watered a few days ago!

In my experience, gathering the vine and wrapping it around in the pot has been helpful! It’ll grow roots from anywhere on the vine pretty much, so that’ll promote more growth. From there, more vines will sprout out ❤️

i’d suggest coiling the vine around the soil too. if you have clear plastic cups or something similar i’d definitely recommend covering it to hold humidity in as well as misting or lightly watering the soil regularly until it develops roots. string of hearts are very drought tolerant once established so it’s important to gradually reduce moisture for a rooting plant

definitely coil it on top of the soil! but i find a way that works best for me is to cut in between each of the leaves, place them on shallow soil (like a tray), cover with plastic wrap and spray every once in a while. i’ve had more success this way
