How to take care of a Chain of hearts

Light And Temperature

This plant of South African origin is cultivated in our country as an indoor plant. It prefers to be in a well-lit location without direct sun, although it can get used to less intense lighting. The lack of light causes changes in its coloration: the underside will turn a darker purple and the beam will change its tones, making them more uniform.

During the summer it can grow without problems outdoors, as long as you provide it with a space protected from the sun’s rays. Bring it into the house when autumn arrives, and keep it in a space with more or less constant temperatures, to prevent it from getting cold.

Substrate And Transplant

The flowers of Chain of hearts are very simple, but beautiful. They usually appear at the end of summer.

As a good succulent, it does not like waterlogging at all and therefore it is best to use a substrate for cacti and succulents, which is very porous and favors drainage. Some specimens reach our homes planted in peat-based substrates, which tend to dry out over time and have a scrubby appearance.

If you can, transplant it by removing as much peat as possible and using the substrate mentioned above. Take the opportunity to divide your plant and thus obtain new specimens.

Irrigation

In all guides on the care of Chain of hearts, weekly watering is recommended during spring and summer and much more spaced (up to 20 days) in autumn and winter.

Do not forget that the substrate that we have used can be more or less porous and therefore have a greater or lesser capacity to retain water. Follow my advice: watch the tips of the chains to get the point to the periodicity of watering.
