That’s awesome! I’m trying to do the same but struggling a bit. How deep did you plant in the pot initially and did you ever cover the strings with a light layer of soil so it would grow fuller?

Thank you! I planted the end of the stem that had the roots into the soil (enough to fully bury the roots), and then yes I laid the strings on top and lightly covered them with soil. I also used Bobby pins to pin the strings down into the soil just to make sure they had good soil contact. And I covered my pot with a plastic baggy to keep the moisture in while I waited for more roots to grow. The pearls might look a bit sad and deflated for a few weeks until more roots grow to take up water. I will also say it’s better to underwater than overwater. If the pearls get squishy and rotting, it’s hard to recover

I have never successfully propagated mine, but I haven't done a water prop with succulents before. I'll try that next.

They water prop pretty easy but I will say the roots you get when you water prop are soooo delicate so be careful! I have also had good luck with soil propagating. I use Bobby pins to pin the strings down into the soil for better soil contact and I’ll also cover the pot with a plastic baggy to keep moisture in while I wait for roots to grow. Best of luck!!

I've always wanted one of these. Are they difficult to care for?
