This plant is easy to share because a cutting will root if stuck in a pot of soil. This makes the vine easy to manage: If it trails too long, just clip the long piece and stick the cut end in the pot. This gives it a fuller look. It gets its name from the little seed balls that form along the vine, like rosary beads. These balls can be planted or shared to form another plant. To achieve the draped effect in some of the photos, take the part of a vine that has a seed ball and plop it into the soil with vine still attached. The vine will drape attractively and put out more growth from the pot.

String of Hearts is an evergreen, succulent-like trailing vine with small, heart-shaped, dark green, silver-mottled leaves. The flowers that usually appear in the summer months are a creamy tan color and have the appearance of little upturned tubular vases. This plant prefers warmth, bright light, and a well-draining potting medium.

These plants make fairly dependable houseplants that can withstand dry conditions. Do not keep them wet. They make an excellent choice for hanging baskets.
