no growth on String Of Hearts
Quick answer
If your String Of Hearts has no growth, the most likely cause is: Ceropegia woodii enters dormancy in suboptimal conditions (temperatures below 60°F, reduced light, or overwatering stress), halting active growth. Tubers remain alive but metabolic activity slows significantly, mimicking plant death.
Start here:
- 1. Check soil—if dry for weeks and plant appears stalled, check tuber firmness
- 2. Move to warmer location with consistent 65-75°F temperatures
