# Curious if anyone knows why my string of hearts has started growing…

Curious if anyone knows why my string of hearts has started growing horizontally and if this is normal? This only started after I moved it from sitting on a low shelf to hanging from the ceiling.

Different light on it now? It seems they grow towards the light.🤷‍♀️

That does seem to be the case, I just don't know why they didn't grow upwards when I had it sitting lower 🤔

My string of hearts grows the same way. I added a support and wrapped it around. Looks much better 😊

What kind of support if you don't mind me asking?

I took a piece of wire/metal off my peony cage, made it round, stuck it on either side and wrapped some of the string of hearts around it.
