Glory Rooting String Of Pearls
Lay the whole stem in a circle on top of the soil and the stem will root and grow tendrils.
Rooting string of pearls. It is best to propagate String of Pearls in Spring or Summer. Rooting string of pearls can take several months. But unlike many other succulents you dont propagate string of pearls using leaves.
You just need a healthy 3-4 in long cutting to start propagating just lay the cutting down on the soil and press down lightly root will gradually grow out of the cutting. If you plant them into a pot that is much larger than what they were in before you run the risk of the plant rotting. Be careful not to overwater which can cause the end of the cutting to rot.
Itll often root pretty quickly this way and the look of a bunch of cuttings in a propagation station really is very nice. Too much soil can cause root rot because they stay wet too long and takes longer to dry out. Use succulent and cactus soil mix and dampen.
A good choice for this plant is a cactus potting mix alternatively you can use a 31 mixture of potting soil and sharp sand. You propagate it using a stem cutting. Take cuttings of about 4 in or 10 cm and put them either in damp soil or Spaghnum Moss.
Senecio Rowleyanus String of Pearls and Senecio Radicans String of Bananas are two very similar plants in not only how they look but also in their growing habits care and propagation. You can place your string of pearls cutting in a nice vase or glass of water. Additionally you have to remove the pearls at the end of the cuttings and place the cutting directly in contact with water.
The latter is a way more common reason than the former. In the spring and summer clip off a string and separate into a single strand. During this time keep the container in bright indirect light in a warm location.
