I've had the same string of pearls that died back, restarted by propagating, died back, I put it outside, bring it in, died back.... it's in my windowsill now and growing again lol. There's a big learning curve with this one, not easy for me! But easy to propagate for sure.
Ah I have so much difficulty with this plant! I’ve had a few and now I’m left with a few strands. Next one I’ll try your squishy method to see if they need water, and a terracotta pot 😊
just stumbled on your page, thanks for being so informative about these plants' care! I'm thinking of getting my own string of pearls but I wanted to do some research first and this vid did not disappoint, thank you so much!
I've had a few string of pearls that never seem to survive the first watering- they seem thirsty but the next day they burst! But I've gotten very lucky with a small variegated sop thats been doing well. Thanks for all the tips!
Weird because I actually noticed mine likes to be watered more than my other succs... and my baby is flowering 🌸hmm tricky trickyyy. They have a mind of their own.
Thanks so much for the video! I've just ordered a variegated string of pearls cutting and I'm hoping it's going to thrive thanks to your info! My last one died a terrible death near a dehumidifier :(
I made the mistake of not transporting it from the plastic nursery pot into a terracotta and I just repotted it today and I'm hoping for the best. The soil that was in the nursery pot kept it's moisture and wasn't drying out properly so now with that 50/50 mix perlite & cacti/succulent soil I'm hoping it'll do better. It's in a 4 inch pot, but honestly I probably could've put it in something smaller. Just going to keep an eye on it and hope she flourishes.
I was just thinking that my SOP is dying like no ones business and I should put it in a smaller pot. Then this video was the first to pop up. So I repotted while you spoke and I hope it comes back to life! Yours looks beyond healthy. All the pearls on mine shriveled up and turned black on top so there’s only one healthy string now
oh no!! hopefully it adjusts to the new pot and perks up! SOP can be a pain for sure BUT i think that once you find a certain routine with them then they become less troublesome. i definitely had ups and downs with mine 🤦🏻♀️
So what you can also do is lay the string you’re going to propagate on a pot of soil without snipping it off of the mother plant. It will start growing roots and this might be a bit more successful since it is still getting water and nutrients from the already existing root system. After the roots are securely attached to the new soil you can snip it off of the mother plant and there is your new string or pearls. I do recommend laying a couple of strings on the soil so your new plant isn’t just one single string.
As always, love your videos 🤍 🌿You should do one on all the plants you hate!! That was one of my favorites from phillyfoliage, but I love seeing everyone's different tastes in plants.
Hey guys question! I got these guys recently. I find that when I go to squish their pearls at the top, they sorta just fall off. Ive done it a few times now. Not sure if its just because I was aggressive or because of something else lol. Lmk!
Wow i just noticed my string of pearls has aphids i think, i don't even know how to rid of them I'll bunge watch videos😭😭 it has new growth, i was super happy now i just moved from my other plants😭😭
Thanks for the video. Such a cute plant. Saw one today in my local nursery but it was in a hanging pot. I think I prefer to start with a smaller one so I did not bother getting it. It is on my wish list.
i actually like having a smaller one! it was more affordable and i felt less pressure. unlike SOH, i think it can actually fill up pretty easily without get bald on top.
Hi, really informative video thanks. But…..I hate the music in the background, I don’t know why I hate that sort of jazz type music but it really puts my nerves on edge 😢. I didn’t want to turn you off so I persevered, so now I have to let my blood pressure go down before I can start to prop my sop using one of your suggested methods. You have a lovely voice btw you don’t need any type of music 😊
I think this is a string of beads and not a string of pearls, no? Have I been mislead into thinking they’re not the same thing? 😭 I’d assume they’re literally the same in terms of care so still super useful but yours looks a little more oblong and pointy and I think that’s the difference?? Either way thank you, this vid has made me less anxious about killing my new one, it’s my first!
I just bought a (expensive) senecio rowleyanus variagata cutting, it's coming in a few days and i'm so stressed that it won't survive propagation 😣 i'd like to do the second method do that it is not just a single string hanging but i know it is more risky ... any extra advice for this method?? I've heard to keep the very top layer of the soil slightly moist by spraying water regularly, do you agree? Thanks for this great video!! 🤗
That is such a gorgeous plant! I would make sure there is enough soil up top for the propagation to root into (aka maybe put a little extra soil on top). I would agree that spraying the top with water will help too. Just be careful to not spray too much since the mama plant has fragile roots that might rot. Good luck 💚
My sop needs help 😩 idk how to make it happy. I think I may have overwatered it or maybe not had enough light? It was really full when I got it then it started to thin out
if the pearls are getting squishy and bursting open it’s too much water! if the pearls are falling off from mostly the top it’s probably light. good luck! 💚
hi addison! i found mine at a local plant shop but you can also find them online. i know that etsy has tons of shops that sells them and also planterina has them sometimes!
sorry this video is about string of pearls. if you want string of cheese, that might be in another video. i am good and planty. i make videos about houseplants. thank you.

SO not easy! i also had some struggles with this plant but it seems to (fingers crossed) finally be nice to me. i hope yours drops the diva act soon!
That’s so good to know
Hasn’t been easy for me either
I recently repotted my string of hearts and I was so stressed 💆🏻♀️
YUP! hope it's loving it's new home though! 🥰
I regretted repotting mine because it was so tangled

I’m thinking of trying it out too!!!
I feel I am ready to buy this plant with all the wonderful advice.
thank you so much!! i say go for it 😉
I've had a few string of pearls that never seem to survive the first watering- they seem thirsty but the next day they burst! But I've gotten very lucky with a small variegated sop thats been doing well. Thanks for all the tips!
Maybe get a moisture meter and stick it in towards the roots? I hope your variegated sop is still doing well!

I recently got a 2in pot if SOP and I'm so scared to repot 🥺 but it sounds like the sooner the better. Wish me luck!!
omg welcome to the sop club! 🤩
Thank you! You tell us the right info and don't make it even a little complicated! You're fabulous. :))
i try my best! 😂 thank you so much!!
awww wittle baby stwing of pwerls so fwagile
Wow, thanks for all the detailed information!! Thanks 😊🙏
Awesome thank you so much!!!
As always, love your videos 🤍 🌿You should do one on all the plants you hate!! That was one of my favorites from phillyfoliage, but I love seeing everyone's different tastes in plants.
thank you, christine! i absolutely love that idea. when i saw his, i wanted to do one too so now i have the perfect excuse 😍
Thank you!! I needed all the advice for my new SOP cutting 🙏 Yours is adorable
thank you!! good luck with all of those cuttings!!

@@GoodandPlanty 😀I agree! Hopefully I will have luck and find one.
Do you think a succulent or cactus potting mix would be good for a string of pearls?
yes!

I just got this plant and want to repot it into a cement pot. It is deeper than the original one. Should I put clay pallets on the bottom?
What type of light is needed when propagating
I think this is a string of beads and not a string of pearls, no? Have I been mislead into thinking they’re not the same thing? 😭 I’d assume they’re literally the same in terms of care so still super useful but yours looks a little more oblong and pointy and I think that’s the difference?? Either way thank you, this vid has made me less anxious about killing my new one, it’s my first!
Do you think it’ll do ok in leca?
Can you leave it in water? I almost killed mine and I saved it but sticking the last two vines in water and now I’m scared to take them out! lol 😂 😖

What type of pot (size-wise) are you using in the video? I recently bought a 2-inch string of pearls and don't know what size pot to plant it in
if your plant is outgrowing the 2in, you can bump up to a 3 or 4 in! mine is in a 3 in.
My sop needs help 😩 idk how to make it happy. I think I may have overwatered it or maybe not had enough light? It was really full when I got it then it started to thin out
if the pearls are getting squishy and bursting open it’s too much water! if the pearls are falling off from mostly the top it’s probably light. good luck! 💚
My string of pearls is so dramatic. Idk what to do with her
is bottom watering ok for this baby??
yes! i actually bottom water her a lot 😌
Where are places you can find string of pearls?
hi addison! i found mine at a local plant shop but you can also find them online. i know that etsy has tons of shops that sells them and also planterina has them sometimes!
the water is stored in the balls.
i don't study botany but that sounds correct
String of pearls? I prefer string of CHEESE amirite?!!!
sorry this video is about string of pearls. if you want string of cheese, that might be in another video. i am good and planty. i make videos about houseplants. thank you.
Half of ur video went on gossiping
The terrible background music is louder than your voice! Argh! Why?
