Succulents are small and cute, winning the favor of many succulent lovers. But many people complain that they grow too slowly, looking exactly the same after months of care, not growing any bigger at all. In fact, quite a few succulent varieties grow fast, and can turn into waterfalls within a few months. Come and see which varieties they are!

String of Pearls (Senecio rowleyanus, also known as String of Beads or String of Tears) waterfall

How do you make String of Pearls grow faster?

1. If you want the beads of String of Beads and String of Tears to be round and vividly green, you can spray more water on the beads. You can add a little monopotassium phosphate or 1 grain of compound fertilizer to the water, and they will grow faster.

2. It does not like strong sun. It is best placed on a south-facing balcony behind glass. Watering once every 1-2 weeks is enough; too much easily causes root rot.

String of Coins (Crassula perforata) waterfall

How do you make String of Coins grow faster?

1. String of Coins also likes water more than other succulents. When you see the soil is dry, soak it, letting water seep in from the bottom of the pot so the roots can fully absorb the moisture.

2. Give it plenty of sun, with appropriate shading in summer. If you want it to propagate more, you can behead it. Cuttings from the beheaded tops can be planted, and the remaining mother plant will sprout more small heads.

Purple Moon (Othonna capensis) waterfall

How do you make Purple Moon grow faster?

1. It likes water. Water it 1-2 times a week, or when you see the leaves are a bit wilted and no longer plump and round, water it thoroughly.

2. Give it plenty of sun; insufficient light easily makes it turn green and lanky. It propagates easily: just pinch off a stem and stick it in the soil and it will live. If you want a full pot sooner, take more cuttings!

String of Hearts (Ceropegia woodii) waterfall

How do you make String of Hearts grow faster?

1. String of Hearts does not like harsh sun exposure. Usually place it on an indoor south-facing balcony or an east- or west-facing balcony, ideally behind glass.

2. Keep good ventilation regularly, water 1-2 times about every week, and rainwater is best for watering, making it grow faster. Spray water on the leaves every morning and evening!

(New) Burro's Tail (Sedum morganianum) waterfall

How do you make Burro's Tail grow faster?

1. If you want Burro's Tail to grow fast, you can put some slow-release fertilizer or succulent-specific base fertilizer at the bottom of the pot, and it will grow very quickly.

2. Burro's Tail loves light. Apart from appropriate shading in summer, in the other seasons, if you have the conditions to grow it outdoors, do so; if not, place it on an indoor south-facing balcony or south-facing windowsill.

Oscularia deltoides

How do you make Oscularia deltoides grow faster?

1. Oscularia deltoides likes water more than ordinary succulents. When you see the leaves are a bit wilted, you can water it thoroughly. In summer, control watering appropriately, otherwise it easily develops black rot.

2. In summer, Oscularia deltoides goes dormant and must be kept in a cool, well-ventilated place, with no direct strong light.

Succulents that can be grown into waterfalls are not limited to these 6. There are also Graptopetalum paraguayense, Graptopetalum mendozae, Sedum sarmentosum, Sedum 'Burrito', Graptopetalum paraguayense, Pachyveria 'Clavifolia', and so on.
