How to care for佛珠吊兰
Compared to the common introductions on how to care for佛珠吊兰 and the propagation methods of string of pearls plants, the following provides a detailed explanation for you:
佛珠吊兰, also known as珍珠吊兰, jade珠, green bell, is a succulent plant with plump, green leaves that are round and bumpy, resembling pearls, hence the name. The main method of propagation for 佛珠吊兰 is cutting. Some hobbyists have failed to grow cuttings several times and don't know the correct way to do it. Don't worry, our editor will teach you the correct cutting method with a 100% survival rate.
First, cut the string of pearls into sections, and after each section is cut, remove two or three beads from the bottom so that they can be buried deeper in the soil. Prepare a pot and soil, using a mixture of vermiculite, perlite, and clivia soil. The soil should not retain water and should have poor water retention to prevent rot. When inserting into the pot, make sure to plant it deep because as the stems grow longer, shallow roots may cause the stems to pull the roots out. When propagating, make sure each stem retains some beads, otherwise it will be difficult for them to root.
In the summer, with high temperatures being quite intense, avoid direct sunlight and allow for one hour of sunlight in the morning. Control the amount of watering, keeping the soil moist but not wet, and ensure good ventilation. In the winter, the air is dry and the sun is not as strong, so it can be exposed to more sunlight, and the watering can be increased slightly, watering when the surface of the soil is dry.

Notice that you can place some ceramsite on the surface of the soil. If the watering is excessive, it can easily float the beads growing on the top of the roots, which can cause the plant to rot due to waterlogging and affect its growth, or even lead to death. Adding a layer of ceramsite can effectively separate the plant from the soil, preventing the plant from being soaked during watering.
String of pearls plants grow very quickly and can form a small curtain within a year. Hanging several pots at home looks very beautiful.
