I absolutely LOVE to propagate my string of pearls. They are by far my most requested plant, and it is just so easy to do! 5 weeks from cuttings to a rooted, beautiful plant. Over the past 5 weeks, this baby has lived in my grow box (to increase humidity) and was under a grow light for 12 hours each day. I lightly watered the top soil about twice per week, give or take. Don’t be surprised if the pearls wilt a little before they plump up- totally expected until new roots form. But once it takes o

I LOVE to propagate and share my string of pearls! It’s so simple, and so rewarding! Just take a few cuttings, spiral them around a pot with fresh soil, and sprinkle a little soil on top. Pin the strings in place, water, and put in a propagation box with good light. This increases humidity and helps the roots to grow faster. If you don’t have a box, you can put your plant in a ziploc bag. Water every few days, and within a few weeks you’ll notice the pearls plumping up and new strands growing! F

There are a couple of ways to propagate string of pearls. In this video I will demonstrate water propagation: ➡️Cut off one of the strings ➡️Remove the bottom few pearls. Roots will grow from the nodes (where each of the pearls was) ➡️Put in water. SOP propagate VERY quickly, you will get roots in only a few days Same rules apply as for any propagation: ➡️Take only healthy cuttings ➡️Provide bright indirect light. More light speeds up propagation and increases success rate ➡️Replace water weekly
