The hand gesture game was strong in this video 🤣🤏🏼👋🏼🤌🏼🤘🏼👇🏼
I don't talk with my hands, I have no idea what you're talking about 😜
I might be Italian or somethin 🤌🏼
@@jaclynns.jungle I loved it! I almost felt like I could possibly shut off the sound and still get the gist of what was being said. Too bad my iPhone didn’t have the “top down” light hand gesture that had me giggling as you showered you plants with finger light 😂
Hahahaha! That's great, I need that emoji. I didn't even notice I was like this until I started a CZcams channel 🤣
@@jaclynns.jungle yup I get told this all the time, how else are supposed to understand what I’m trying to tell you. Im Italian it happens lmao
I have a very dark apartment but found that when I keep my plants on the bar type counter top and leave the stove light on they do really well. The fertilizer that I’ve found that works the best and see immediate results is when I use coffee in my plants. My plants had been dying and I found that my tap water is too chlorinated so now I boil water and use a single serve Folgers tea type bag, tho it’s actually coffee not tea and brew it in a small cast iron oriental tea pot. Once is cooled down I transfer it to a container and boil another pot of water and once that’s cooled I mix the coffee with the water and water all my plants. Within a couple of days I saw a bunch of new growth on both my String of Pearls and Hearts. All the new growth was reaching toward the light. I do not use coffee grounds like I’ve heard some say as I had tried tossing the grounds on my lawn and it burned it. My plants absolutely love the coffee! When it comes to bugs on your plants I’ve read to use some cinnamon, as bugs don’t like it so I’m using it as a preventative measure. Cinnamon is also used as a rooting hormone so it shouldn’t hurt your plants. Finally, I’ve also used a thin stick to loosen up the dirt and have sprayed my plants with a mix of hydrogen peroxide and water as the roots like to get oxygen. The hydrogen peroxide is also used as solution in some cases for root rot if it’s not too far gone. I’m kinda new to all this but I’ve been really reading a lot about the needs of each plant so I’ve learned a lot. The coffee thing I learned from a coworker many years ago when I used to see her dumping her cold leftover coffee into her desk plant. That plant was gorgeous and from then on I’ve used that tip and believe me it works wonders! Hope these tips help! Happy growing 😊 p.s. I still haven’t quite figured out why my plants haven’t died with as little light as my apartment has. I do plan on getting some grow lights but in the mean time I think the coffee is what’s doing the trick. It’s amazing how fast you see the results. Love to hear how it does for you all!
@Sandra could you please tell me how you apply the hydrogen peroxide to help the roots get oxygen? I have used hydrogen peroxide on the roots of plants I repot to help kill fungus or unwanted pests. I have also sprayed hydrogen peroxide on the topsoil of my plants.
But how does putting hydrogen peroxide in the topsoil of your plant getting to the roots for oxygen?
i'm so glad you're parents are doing well . I once lived in a dark apartment and I was so discouraged that I couldn't have plants because they would die on me. ~ Great tips you just gave us about using Coffee! ☕️ That's amazing. I need to try that!
Is your plants bougie and prefer Starbucks or do they only run on Dunkin' coffee? ☕️🤣 ~ That was my sense of humor. lol
Victory, its always a hard decision to stay in the game with a plant when the first time wasn't successful. It's the only way you learn. Plus those white pots are adorable.
It's very rewarding when you've killed it a bunch and then finally keep it alive 🤣
I do agree overhead grow light. I had killed my first string of pearls , so I decided to try again. They are doing awesome.
I'm so glad to hear that Violet! Thank you for sharing your experience! Hope the pearls keep growing long!! 💕
I have my string of pearls in a full sun window and it’s thriving.
That's great!! Glad they're happy 😊🌱
What's the temperature?
In Wisconsin and during winter have a wood fire going, temp is 70, and when fire goes out it drops to 62. Summer is now here so it’s warming up to 80’s. I believe they do not appreciate summer humidity. My house is very dry in the winter. Makes no sense.
Yes! I came here to say she is giving inaccurate advice on light requirements. Sun acclimating may be necessary, but most succulents need and thrive (esp if you sun stress to make certain colors/patterns prominent) in direct sunlight. They are from desert or semi-desert areas for goodness sake 🤦♀️
@@heathercolgan1544 no need for negativity, it's meant to be general advice based on my personal experience. If you disagree please politely share your "accurate" information with us. If you're going to be negative please leave.
I use Espoma organic houseplant liquid fertilizer. It smells a little but not too awful. Just try not to get it on your hands. The plants love it.
Thank you!! I just bought some today Amy!!! I hope the plants are happy with their new food 😊🌱
@jaclynn thank you so much for all of this information on string plants. I've been wanting a few of my own so i'm glad I came across this video for tips " tricks before I get some of my own!! ~ Much appreciated! 🎍
I'm glad I could help! 😊
Your string of pearls is the cutest ever!
Thanks love!! Hope she grows big and long 😊💕
Dude thank you so much, i just bought a “string of turtles” and it was so hard to find in my state/area, so its been about 2 days that ive owned it and noticed the “burning” you used the exact words i was thinking was happening. I have a south facing window as well. The excitement you gave me with the exact terms i needed to hear. I shall pull it back and monitor, see if that does it thanks again
Haha, I'm happy I could help!! 😊
💜💜💜 I have a String of Pearls and a String of Hearts and they’re both under grow lights and doing fab! I’m interested in learning how to propagate them - they’re not long enough yet, but I’d like to be prepared, lol!! Thank you for sharing!
Glad they're doing well!!! Propagating is easy!! 😊💕
@@jaclynns.jungle Great to know!
I'll show you my method soon!! They're rooting 😉🌱
Was always scared of getting some string plants but now I absolutely love them after watching some videos and getting some good advice.
❤️❤️❤️
You definitely need to give it a try 😊
Honestly, I reccomend winding the strings and putting them back in the pot and use some Bobby pins. So they you get a fuller plant before starting to let any string grow
Definitely an option. Just be careful not to rot them or let them get too dry bc then they won't root into the soil. I find it much faster to root them when they've been cut ✂️ 😋😊
😁 The title got me, because I have killed several strings and as far as propagating, it is a huge fail!
Your SOH are sooo cute 🥰 me and my friend a couple weeks ago went to a plant nursery and bought some SOH but recently I found out I actually bought a SOS (string of spades) kinda disappointed that our plants were mislabeled but I do love my SOS. Now I just gotta buy some real SOH 😂
I have some spades now too! They're really unique!! I'm sure you'll find some hearts soon! I have VSOH propagating now that will be up in my Etsy shop soon!! 💕
Thanks for watching ☺
Awesome tip I saw on here was to take the plant and wrap it around on top, pin it, and you should have luck having a full plant on top. I’ve done this is with pearls and so far it look great but I also have good lighting on it
Yes! That's a great way to do it 😊
Butterfly method they call it
Thanks for all your tips, your nails are so pretty. Gonna have to go look for those cute white pots!
Thank you love!!
Espoma fertilizer is the best! But hard to find. I've also been trying the liquidirt kind
I found some finally today and picked it up!! I'm excited to try it 😊
I use fish emulsion and warm castings and they love it
I just bot a string of turtle plant and need advice on how to take care of it and you helped me a lot in this manner, thank you my friend!
I put all mine outside all summer in bright shade. They love it. Just beware too much rain.
Oh there's definitely been too much rain haha. My Coleus goes from frying in the heat to being drenched out there 🤦🏻♀️ Hope she makes it lol
For your string of hearts, the butterfly propagation technique. Ive been trying it and I've seen very positive results. Your string of things are so amazing!!!
I’m trying ONE more time. Got a stunning string if pearls at Shelley’s today and tomorrow I’m picking up my variegated string of hearts. We’ll see🤞
All the top down light!! You got this!!
Hey lady . Long time no see . Forgive me , my mom passed and I am slowly recovering. Great video , thank you.
Thank you for these tips. I love your channel by the way. I have a string of hearts that I kept hanging in a south window since i brought it home and it immediately flowers and growing like crazy However, I started to notice that some of the new stems are drying up and some of the hearts are curling under. I moved it to a East window because I'm afraid it was getting too much sun. I'm so confused though because it has so many flowers and new growth.
Hi Catherine, I'm so glad you've been enjoying my channel!! When it comes to bringing a new plant home we have to keep in mind that we're giving them a completely new environment! It's quite normal for a plants old leaves to die back when put into high light, since they may not have been grown that way. But in time the new growth comes in tolerant of the new environment and higher light! It should be totally fine in an East window though, so long as its getting sufficient top down light!
@@jaclynns.jungle thank you for that. I'll keep an eye on it and see how it does.
@@Islanddreamer430 I have faith in you!! I'm sure it will thrive! 😊
Hey girl, you need to start buying online and save lots of money. I buy mine a Mountain Crest Gardens and also Leaf & Clay. I had problems with these type too and I moved mine to bright light, and doing better. Plus if you have any that are long strings, no leaves, cut them to about 6 inches. Just FYI.
I shop online a lot! You should check out some of my unboxing videos 😊👍🏻
Good timing for this lol. My 2nd attempt at SOH is turning south 😕
Oh no!! I hope this helps!!
I really needed this - after killing a few & picking up a few more! Thank you! 💕
You got this!!! 👍🏻
Hi Jaclynn! Can you please do an update on your 'String of' plants, if you haven't already? Thanks, chick!😇🙏
Hey girl!! I just did a houseplant tour so you can see most of them there! I have some in the greenhouse too which I'll be showing you soon 😋😊
@@jaclynns.jungle Alright, sweet! I'll be looking for your next vid then. Thanks, chick!😇🙏
I killed my string of hearts. But today after replacing a few plants 🙄 I broke down and bought a string of turtles from Meier. I had also bought a fiddle leaf fig because I overwatered my little one in the winter. I actually killed several from the same watering. Lesson learned! But I came to watch this because I just bought another “string of” and when you mentioned top down light I immediately took it to my kitchen where I have no windows but my under the cupboard lighting is awesome and my begonias love it, so that’s where my turtles will live. I’m holding you accountable! 😜😂 No, but I hope it works….🙏🤞
Hahahaha, I'll assume SOME responsibility if it dies 🤣
But you got this!! I believe in you!!! ☺💕
Want to know a really good secret to not overwatering houseplants? Use a palm mix, or bonsai mix. Both work great, however if you do palm, water it throughout when nearly dry as it is hard to rewet.
Ooh definitely about to apply these tips. I have a VSOH and a regular SOH Love yah ❤️
Love yah too boo! Happy to help! I've managed to keep them alive after killing A LOT 🤣🤣
I accidently left my string of dolphins outside all winter 🤦♂️ Hi Jaclynn!💚❣💖
Oh man 🤦🏻♀️ haha
I never even wanted one but it was cute as hell 🤷🏻♀️
Perfect timing...my string of dolphins are looking a little rough...
That will happen unfortunately, but I hope this helps you figure out the issue!! 😊🙏🏼
@@jaclynns.jungle thanks :) me too I appreciate you making this video to help everyone in need 😁❤️
I also just love yoyr channel 😂😄
You're so sweet! I appreciate that! Glad I haven't scared you off with my weird crap yet 🤣
thank you, Also those little dark green marks on the side of the string of pearl, are a little window to let the light in... I heard that on YT. Is that true. lol
Beautiful thank you Sister for sharing very helpful I needed to see this thank You love❤
Lots of great tips in this video, thanks for sharing 🙂
Thanks for watching!! 😊
Liquidirt fertilizer is the best!
I gotta try it! Everyone keeps saying that!!
I have found out that the string of hearts locks morning Sun directly on it and it looks a lot more water than people say.
I'm not about that fish life. I just bought some liquidirt today. Everyone is talking about it. I haven't used yet- so, I can't actually recommend it. Oh, and- as always- I did stay til the end. 💞💞💞💞💞💞💕💕💕💕💚💚💚💚
I've heard good things about liquidirt, not so much about the guy who owns it lol but it is what it is. Let me know how it goes?! I got the Espoma today to try out 😊❤
i’m obsessed with liquidirt!! every single plant i have is growing like crazy from it! especially my hoyas who haven’t grown in months lol
I've definitely heard good things! Once I'm through with the Espoma I bought I may try to get my hands on some!
My string of pearls and string of turtles both came to my home with mealy bugs :( they're ok now but that was a huge pain in the butt to deal with 😂 all those little nooks and crannies
They're such a pain!!! I have them on my hindu rope Hoya 🙄
What was the name of the soil mix you mentioned thank You
Hi! I have a very small string of pearls and each time a new bead comes in it turns brown before it has a chance to grow. I haven't found anyone talking about this problem and don't know how to help it. I have moved it closer to a window and tried watering more and less.
That could be a fungal or bacterial issue if nothing else is working. An all natural fungicide should do the trick, I like to use the Dr. Bronners peppermint Castille Soap with warm water, you can add neem oil as well if you'd like. The Liquidirt channel has a video on how to mix up one. Or there is ready to use ones, I haven't tried any myself but Dr. Earth is available at Lowe's and I'm sure similar products as well in other places. I'm not sure exactly what else it could be if the soil has been recently changed and the lighting and watering is right. A lot of the time it's not your fault though! So don't beat yourself up about it either!!
I hope that can help at least give you another option to try. It won't harm the plant.
It’s funny that you don’t take the stickers off of your pots. They drive me crazy, I remove them immediately!
Hahaha, they drive me nuts too but I have most in a pot unless they're in the greenhouse and I don't see it 🤣
Great info. Thanks for sharing.
Hope it helps!! ❤
Thankyou. My s.o.hearts is like your first one. Has 3 strands now about a foot in length. I tried too propagate a strand that fell off but they have vanished from the top of pot. I must have gotten them too wet. So thanks so much for this Vidio. Really helpful .im going to move it too a better position. It's under a grow light but the temp in my place is 18° on average now. Il not give up on it thanks for the encouragement. Always pleased too see more of your new vids. Is the tour available yet. Sorry if this is a recently posted vid. Don't mean to be rushing you.xxSarah
Try propagating them separately in a plastic box or bag for humidity! There's also a few plant tours up on my channel ☺💕
I like this title!
Quality of light is super important too. With as dim as your room is, I'd suggest trying to hang them near your lights.
They're in a greenhouse
How many hours do you have your grow lights on? Same amount of time for SOT and SOH?
Yes, same amount of time! Butnit depends on the intensity of the light, with a regular strength grow light I leave it on for 12 hours, but with my stronger one I only leave it on for 6 to 8 hours depending on the season! I can definitely chat more about that when I do my houseplant tour too!
String of chickens are pretty cool.
🤦🏻♀️🐔
So when you are talking “top down” lighting how do I do that in a house?
Put it in a window 😊
This is just what I needed my string of bananas is not doing so well
I hope this helps!!!! I've done my fair share of murdering for those poor bananas 🍌
which liquidirt is good for string of plants? Amazon shows so many varieties
Do u know that there is also string of spades and string of nickles as i have themand they r alot easier to grow im from Australia love ur videos 😊😄😄
Yes! I have both rooting in moss now! Same care applies to most of them 😊🌿
I have string of turtles and Pearl's both doing good
That's great!!! ☺☺💕💕
I need this, now to watch right now🤣🙌💚
I’m ok with VOH and pearls and spades but turtles ugh
But so far so good with the turtles, I picked up 2 at Home Depot and they are still alive after 2 weeks 🤣
Love your collection 🤩, we are only human🤞
The turtles definitely seem easy for me. I think the trick here is to also make sure you're buying a healthy and well established plant to start with!!
Thanks for watching love 🥰🌿
Exactly 😘😘
Wow your Home Depot has turtles? Healous
@@alysonbailey5525 keep trying yours, they restock alot
@@elizabethgreco-nieves3667 I wish, but I’m in a smaller city so I think they don’t give us what other people get ybfortunately! But I heard target is about to get live plants
Thanks, great information💚🙃💞
Thank you Judy! Hope it was helpful 🥰
Look into fox farms. It’s what we use for all our friends
Oh for sure!! I have it in my cart on Amazon 🤣
I put my string of pearls out on my porch and hang them up where they get all of the morning son and they are doing great.
I'm sure they love it there!!
How do you top water the string of turtles?
I turn the sink on low and just let it gently flow over the top until I see it draining out the bottom. The plant will feel heavier and then I put it back in a nice warm place to dry out again 😊
I like Dyna-Gro products for plant food personally
I hear Liqui-Dirt is pretty good but idk if it smells or anything
I've definitely had it recommended a lot! It's next on my list to try after my Espoma runs out 😊🥰
Hi great video I'm wondering about the VSOH does it revert under a grow light I noticed a couple of your strands are fully green. I have mine under a grow light and super scared of it reverting. Do you know if that can happen?
They were actually like that when I bought it. The brighter light should make them more cream colored because they don't have to photosynthesize as much, like most variegated plants! I've never heard of it reverting because of too much light, it should sun stress them pink and make them creamier!! 💕
@@jaclynns.jungle thank you good to know mines is much much smaller than yours can't wait to see it grow 😊
Looking forward to your SOH video that you mentioned was coming soon
It was start taking off soon with warmer weather!! 💕
Jaclyn, I want to be your plant friend, how do I go about that?
Thanks for the info!!!!❤❤❤❤
Happy to help 😊💕
Have you tried liquid dirt?
Not personally, no. But I know lots of people who use it and like it!
💕
Thanks for watching, I appreciate you 🙏🏼😊
I'm in California, we keep ours out year round...
Lucky!! I'd have so many more plants!! Haha 💕🪴
Do you do anything special if there is suppose to be frost?
@@tammyd.565 Mine are on my patio, so I think they're protected, but it hardly ever gets that cold here...coldest so far this year 45° at night in December/January, now in 50's@ night.
💖💖💖💖💖💖
🥰🥰
❤
What is that gorgeous black plant behind you tho? 😍😍😍😍
It's probably my 'Linda Dawn' Begonia? Right under the TV?
WOW useful video
Glad to hear it!! 😊👍🏻
Just got string of hearts and raindrops, fingers crossed I can not kill them
You got this!! Follow the tips and you'll be fine!! Mine are still alive and thriving!! ☺😊
Repotting them is a nightmare!! They dont have a root ball... they just fall everywhere!
Tell me about it hahaha
❤❤❤❤
string of monstera dubia ?
Not sure what you mean? Monstera Dubia is a shingling plant and it's not mentioned here.
Like your money plants
use jacks
Captain Jacks? Sorry idk what you're referring to lol
Is it okay If I keep my string of hearts in west facing window where it gets few hours of direct light
Yes! Just keep and eye on it for the first week or so to make sure it can handle it 😊💕
I killed my string of dolphins and string of pearls. 💕 💕💕
Been there, killed that lmao. Hope these tips can help for next time 😊💕
💗💗💗

Thanks for watching 🥰
String of pearls are in the peperomia family
💕💚
You're amazing for watching until the end 🙏🏼💕
Not to be a jerk, but in the next video would you mind moving around a bit more so I can identify the plants behind you? Sorry, but your zamioculcas zamiicufolia and a few of the other background plants really drew my eyes in.
There's a houseplant tour on my channel
Go to an aquarium store for that, low and will burn your plants.
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

I tried string of pearls 3 times 🤦🏽♀️
Oh man, I feel that. I hope these tips can help if you try again!

I can't keep my string-of-pearls living.
heartbreaking
So many great tips! We have the same experiences with the string of plants, all your tips have worked for my string of plants and totally agree with the watering from top! 💕❤️✌🏽
I'm glad I'm not just making this crap up 🤣
