How to Care for the Plant

Water
String of Hearts likes bright light - even some direct sun - and is more tolerant of dry soil than wet, as it is prone to rot. Allow the soil to dry out completely between watering. Water from the bottom, using a saucer, once a week and mist over the leaves.
Fertilizer
String of Hearts only need infrequent fertilizers and half-diluted fertilizers. They can be fed at most once a month during their active growth period in May – August. They don't need any fertilizer during winter, their dormant period.
Sunlight
The plant appreciates bright, indirect sunlight, but it can do well in a low light setting. Lower light will result in less contrast in the leaf variegation. Additionally, a low light setting will cause the backs of the leaves to take on a purplish hue.

Soil
An equal blend of succulent & cactus mix & coco coir would make your String Of Hearts very happy. Or, a combo of half cymbidium orchid & half succulent mixes would be just excellent too. It's essential to make sure the mix drains really well so the tubers don't rot out.
Temperature
Be sure to bring it back indoors before the temperature drops in the fall.
