No New Growth on string of hearts
What's Happening
String of Hearts often stops growing at the vine tips (apical meristems) due to tip desiccation during dry spells or normal resource reallocation to 'hidden' nodes near the rootball or leaf axils.
How to Fix It
- 1
Inspect the entire length of the vine and the rootball for emerging nodes or buds.
- 2
Prune desiccated tips to stimulate adventitious growth from lower nodes.
- 3
Check light levels; ensure bright indirect light (2000-5000 lux) to sustain growth.
How to Prevent It
Water when the top 50% of soil is dry; avoid letting the plant stay bone-dry for more than 10-14 days during the growing season.
