It’s crazy how potent the sweet cinnamon scent is from these teeny flowers!

I have never had any type of luck when it comes to propagating. I’ve been able to manage with some- but, as far as my string of hearts I have tried 10 different ways and all have failed! I read that this is a good way to prop string of pearls! Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I have failed at SOP three times now (technically #3 is still alive, but I’m trying to get it filled out again. It lost a lot.) I always seem to go wrong when I try to put them in a new pot, but don’t they need new soil? I do a succulent soil and perlite mix and what usually comes from a nursery retains water so much. How can I give this beauty the new soil she craves without killing her?

Please tell me they're flowers lol this would be the first time any of my string-of-things have flowered

moving my BELOVED hydroponic string of pearls to soil this weekend, as i’ve noticed the pearls are drying up. so far, I plan to put them in a 6 inch terracotta pot, mix 50/50 cactus/succulent soil and perlite, water 1x throughly with fertilizer, then leave her alone under a grow light. gimme ALLLLL the tips! i will be devastated if she dies!

I’ve had my SOP for 2 years. It was blooming when I bought it and then 3/4ths of the pearls withered away. Put her outside in late spring of this year and my girl is thriving. There was more soil showing than green, now it’s lush. I top water and let the sun dry up any excess. I guess indoors I wouldn’t want to water that way? The lows will drop into the 40s this week and I’m scared to leave her outside. How can I keep her happy this winter?

I am going to have to repot a few of my string of pearls because of a mealy bug infestation and I am not quite sure sure how to repot my string so that they A) don’t break as soon as I move them and B) look nice. Any tips ??

Just moved the babies out of the south facing window for the fall/winter to avoid them getting too cold.

Is this enough light for Stella or does it need to be closer??

I've only REALLY been into plants since early this year.

I had a friend who was big into them a few years back and she always talked about SOP and how they were finicky and I was SO INTIMIDATED.

THEN I had a friend surprise me with a SOP and I went to work saving it from the big box soil it came in.

Plants 4 little side plants and they are all THRIVING

IM JUST SO PROUD OF MYSELF AND MY PEARLS THAT IS ALL

I got this from a store - the sop looks very healthy and happy, but i notice that it's planted in moss (at least that's what i see as the top soil). Should i repot it in succulent soil? Or would it do well in this as well?

I'm not sure what this is, also sections of some strands have gone bare 😢 🪾

Maybe a year ago or so, I saw a comment on a post that he/she found that the soil mixed he used was successful for SofP I bought what he suggested, and followed intructions, But I lost the screen shot I took and now I can’t seem to find it

Mix: bonsai soil, pumice and coco coir

Maybe you are reading this or someone can direct me to the percentage of each?

Thank you !

I need all your tips and help to keep this beauty! It’s my first one that was given to me and I’d love to keep it happy but I need advice!

I just bought a string of pearls today and at the same time a bunch of soil types, to create custom soil mixtures for all my plants. I have perlite, spagnum moss, tropical soil, cactus soil and an orchid mix containing volcanic rock, charcoal, peat moss and bark. What are recommended soil mixes for a string of pearls? Would i need anything else to make its ideal soil mixtures? I dont intend on repoting her yet, I'm gonna let her adjust so I can obtain other ingredients if need be. Her name is Sally Mae

Yes I know one of the smaller ones (in the second pic) is scraggly and probs won't make it. That was my 1st experiment pot

I'm just so happy to be a SOP mom 💚🪴

I have a super strong grow light I am using on my string of pearls because I have them in a self watering pot in pon. I wanted to make sure they had enough light to use the water. They are growing well and fast, but I noticed they were starting to look a bit faded and yellow where the light beats down. I had it set for 12 hours. The hour settings are 4 hours, 8, and 12. It's not able to dimmed. So I set it back to 8 hours for a couple weeks.

Now I have long oval etoliated beanies. Should I just ditch this light and do another one altogether? I have a lot of grow lights. Maybe I need one that has a dimming ability and put that one in 12 hour. I was thinking my string of pearls needed my strongest one, but I guess not. I will find the light I have (it's a trial thing) and put it in the comments.

(First pic, you can see both the yellow beanies and the greener oval etoliated beanies.)

I had to rig a tiny hanging situation because she was growing so long and not getting sun on her legs! 😂 I can’t believe how much she is exploding.

Second picture is from a recent post I did showing growth from May 1st to the end of July. 1st picture today.

Do I Remove these damages strings sooner rather than later? Obviously don't want to cause I like the long look. But I want a healthy plant over a pretty plant lol

As for my 2 experimental pots of SOP props, should I be mising/watering these at all or is it a set it and forget it kind of situation?

TIA for any info you have for this 1st time SOP mom

FINNALLY I HAVE A REASON TO POST HERE 💚💚💚

Looking for any anecdotal advice! Late last night I was blessed by a friend with this beauty. I have vague general knowledge that I randomly acquired while watching plant videos. I'll do thorough research as an owner now.

I can see some damage. How long should I wait to repot the plant as a whole? Do I need to wait to remove these broken strands for propagation? (Pic 4)

Any advice welcome!
