# Hey can anyone tell me if I should completely cut back my string of…

_Postat av Ellie den 2025-06-22_

Hey can anyone tell me if I should completely cut back my string of hearts? I gave a little cut to get rid of leggy stems but now I’m realising there’s wrinkles and loss of colour at the top (not variegated). I moved to a different location with better light and repotted into new compost but unsure whether to do a big chop

I would prune any reverting parts, then wrap the access/hanging parts into the soil in a circular pattern ensuring that the nodes are in the dirt. Then I would cover it with plastic wrap after giving it a thorough watering. This will increase the humidity. Lastly move the plant to south or west facing window, or even consider grow lights. Rotate the plant weekly to promote even growth…. I hope this helps! Best of Luck Ellie!
