Light
Place your string of hearts somewhere that it will receive bright but dappled, filtered sunlight for the best growth and flowers.

Growth
String of hearts is a fast growing plant, and the sprawling vines can hang down several feet up to 12 feet once they are mature. It goes dormant in cooler weather, slowing down its growth.
