How to Propagate String of Hearts
Have you ever noticed the tiny potato-like lumps on your string of hearts (Ceropegia woodii)? They make it super-easy to propagate your plant.
- Simply press a tuber into moist compost in a separate pot to the parent plant, but don’t detach it yet.
- Wait until you see signs it has rooted and growing under its own steam
- Cut it away from the parent plant.

How to Feed an Air Plant
Although air plants may not need watering like conventional plants, they do need misting regularly.
- if the leaf edges begin to roll up, that’s a sign they’re too dry
If you want to get fat, healthy Tillandsias, you should feed your plants too.
- Standard houseplant fertilizers don’t contain the right mix of nutrients, you will need to buy a specialist product
- if you’re in the UK, try Tillandsia Feed (£2.99)
- US growers can try Epiphyte’s Delight ($4.50 from Rainforest Flora) or Airplant City’s Air Plant And Bromeliad Fertilizer Packet ($4.75).

Pot succulents in..
Cacti and succulents won’t thrive in bog standard compost.
Those in the know at the British Cactus and Succulent Society use a special ingredient in place of the grit or gravel: cat litter.
Cat litter has two advantages over grit or gravel
- It’s lightweight
- unlike grit it is porous
This means it can “mop up” excess water from around the roots and release it gradually, as well as ensure there are tiny air pockets in the soil, which is a great combination for cacti and succulents.
Two parts compost to two parts litter to one part grit isn’t a bad place to start.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
