Anyone know what these are on my string of hearts? They are hard to the touch and I don’t think I can remove them without damaging the string.

Thank you! 🙏🏻 I rescued this baby from a serious mite infestation and overwatering so I admit to being overprotective with this little one. 😝

I have them on mine. I thought that you could propagate those nodules.

I do! I snip the vine, pot it with the nodule in soil and the vine above the soil like normal, and they take in no time
