My string of hearts propagations are growing so fast!! So excited as this is the first time Ive tried the butterfly method! Usually I just water prop them. 💚

      Not sure if it will work with string of turtles, but with the string of hearts since they have nodes in between each pairs of leaves you can “butterfly cut” them (cut each node with two leaves on each side) and shove them into soil. I placed a bowl over mine to keep the humidity higher. I’m sure if you google propagating string of hearts butterfly method a better video tutorial will pop up lol, I saw it on insta first and decided to try it!

    That’s so aesthetically pleasing! It looks like a little fairy forest in a magic bowl ☺️

      IKR! I made the bowl in my HS ceramics class last semester with the intention of putting string of hearts in it. Thats why there’s a cut out on the side with divots so I can have them all pour out one side like a waterfall eventually!!!

      I love it!! My partner went to school for ceramics. I keep strongly suggesting that I would like him to make me some plant pottery hehe. Do you happen to know the name of that glaze by chance? It’s gorgeous

      Ugh I don’t remember off the top of my head and unfortunately I don’t have her class rn. But I’ll definitely look next time I end up in her classroom, I always end up wandering down there lol

    I’ve never seen that before! Totally trying with my string of hearts propagation. Now I don’t have to wait too long to cut it

    Was this difficult? I want to try this with mine but I've never propagated anything before

      Honestly no I just butterfly cut them, made sure the node was touching soil. Soaked it and then covered it with a glass bowl (for humidity) it’s been about 2-3 months since Ive started to get to this point but it’s also been winter in my area. I moved them under a grow light which seemed to help too
