# Hello people I got this string of hearts about a month ago and it’s…

_Pubblicato da Kerby\_elayne il 2023-08-01_

Hello people I got this string of hearts about a month ago and it’s doing great but I was wondering if there is anyway to stop the leaves/hearts from turning towards the sun maybe it’s natural IDK. Also at the top, the leaves are kinda shriveling and feeling very weak. it also gets a lot of sun. It’s sets on the windowsill.

It’s natural for them to turn toward the sun. You can rotate the pot every few days to make it more even all around.

If the top leaves continue to worsen I’d check the roots.  
It looks like its in quite a tiny pot? Mine seemed to do the same thing in those small pots, and only continued to worsen. I ended up having to chop the whole plant, propagate, and start over. I’ve got it in a bigger pot (went from 2” plastic to 5.5” terracotta) and a really well draining soil (succulent soil plus extra perlite) and its doing so much better.

Also, try to mostly bottom water these guys. They have a delicate root system that has the potential to be damaged with watering from the top.
