Propagating String of Hearts from water:

Ensure that the water you are using to propagate a string of hearts succulent is free from leaves. Once the String of Hearts succulent stems stays submerged under water for a little bit, you will begin to notice roots forming. The roots will protrude from the nodes, the points where the leaf and stem connect. You ought to have two nodes, at the very least, submerged.

Once your succulent stems start growing roots, you can move them to the soil. However, only move the String of Hearts to the soil once the roots have reached around 1 inch in length. 

Growing String of Hearts from soil:

Well, this is relatively simple, just like the water approach. Cut the vines off however you like. On the side, you wish to plant, trim back part of the leaves before planting the vines. Ensure that at least a few nodes tiny bumps on the vine from which leaves or roots can grow—are either entirely or partially covered by dirt. Then, mist the areas that come into contact with the soil once a day or so to promote rooting. Voilà! Once roots start to show, you're ready to go, and new growth should soon follow.

Propagating String of Hearts with peat moss: 

One of the more simple methods for propagating String of Hearts is with peat moss. You can pick up peat moss at most home and garden stores. Many have found that with peat moss, they can successfully propagate String of hearts succulents. When you first buy peat moss, it is often in a tight dried form. All you have to do is add water to all the peat moss to open up and moisten. To propagate String of Hearts succulents, you will take a clear container like a Tupperware with a lid. Place the peat moss in the container with some of the String of Hearts stems laying on the peat moss. With the moist peat moss in the container and the stems of String of hearts, you are on the way to propagating your succulent. After about a week, you will begin to notice roots forming in the moss. Open the container to check on it every few days. Keep the container in a warm place where sunlight can get through. Once the roots have reached 1 inch long, you can move the String of Hearts to the soil.

Growing String of Hearts Succulents from Seed:

The String of Hearts bloom with unique flowers that have been said to resemble a head of a bird. These flowers once pollinated will develop seed pods. You can take these seed pods and plant them to grow more String of Hearts succulents. These seeds will fall out of the flowers on their own. Once you collect these seeds you can plant them in moist soil with good lighting. It is recommended to get soil that has been formatted for germinating seeds. Some people have had luck germinating seeds using moist paper towels. 

Another approach to growing String of Heart succulents from seeds is to prepare a seedling tray, preferably with a humidity dome. You can use it as a miniature greenhouse to keep moisture in, helping to ensure the seeds start to grow. Plant the seeds once you have the soil in the containers. Place the seeds in the soil carefully in such a way as to prevent them from blowing away. Mist the seeds and soil with water; do not pour water directly on the seeds, or you the risk of uprooting them from the soil. Be patient and place the propagator in a safe, warm area with plenty of bright, indirect light. Given how prolific Ceropegia woodii seeds are, it shouldn't take long until you observe the first indications of life. Once the seedlings emerge from the earth, the humidity dome can be removed. Keep them mildly moist until they develop a few leaves; after that, you may resume your regular String of hearts watering regimen.
