# Working on my String of Hearts 💕 today. It got tangled 😣 so that’s…

Working on my String of Hearts 💕 today. It got tangled 😣 so that’s my big project. I’m not sure what to do with the big bulbs throughout the strings. Cut and prop? Cut and put in the soil?

I’ve never tried propagating string of hearts, maybe start it in peralite ??

I put my cutting on soil. I haven't had much luck in water. When I start them I use starter pots with lids to keep the humidity in and I add water to the tray and let it draw the water to the top of the pots then place the Cuttings on the soil, cover and leave them till they start growing well before I take the cover off. Hope this helps and good luck

I started these on 12/6 and they are already showing signs of growing

the bulbs are tubers, and they're PERFECT for propagating. soil or water will work for them.
