How To Care For A Heart Plant. Propagating Bleeding Heart Bleeding heart is normally planted initially from nursery seedlings but it can be propagated from seeds clump division or stem cuttings. Keep it in a bright area and water weekly a few weeks later the tuber will be rooting.
Water the bleeding heart plant weekly in the summer when less than 1 inch of rain has fallen in the past week. For the brightest color grow in full sun. Place seeds in a pot of soil.
You should water it sparingly if in doubt.
You can always add more water. Water until liquid flows through the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot and discard any water that has accumulated in the saucer. Its perfect for Southern gardens because it loves the heat of summer and is drought resistant once it is established though it also handles frequent watering well too. It should be large enough to comfortably hold a mature bleeding heart plant.
