String of Pearls is a very cute plant. Seeing how cute it is, don't you all especially want to grow it even better? Let's take a look at how to grow String of Pearls.

1. Propagation method:

String of Pearls is mostly propagated by cuttings. The branches and leaves can be trimmed into sections of 8-10 cm each, then inserted into the potting soil, half-buried, with humidity kept between 50% and 60%. They root in 10 days to half a month, and only with careful tending can they survive. At this time, strictly control the amount of watering and keep the potting soil in a state between dry and moist, which is most beneficial to plant growth.

2. Cultivation management:

"Better dry than wet" is a key point in growing String of Pearls. In addition, frequent application of light fertilizer is also an extremely important point. The saying "better dry than wet" comes from the fact that String of Pearls, which originates from southern Africa, likes a warm environment and is relatively drought-tolerant but cannot tolerate waterlogging, so it is better to place it in a dry environment than to cause poor development through excessive watering. "Frequent application of light fertilizer" means that fertilizer should be applied often, but each time as a dilute fertilizer; too much fertilizer at once should not be applied, as this causes problems in its growth.

3. Pest and disease control:

String of Pearls actually rarely suffers from insect pests, but such cases still occur. Generally speaking, the most common disease of String of Pearls is aphid infestation, which occurs in spring. When this happens, it should be killed with 500 times diluted omethoate. In summer, mites appear, which can be killed with 1000 times diluted dicofol. When pests occur, pay attention to increasing leaf humidity, which can reduce pests, and ventilation facilities should also be in place.

String of Pearls is made up of strings of emerald green, plump little leaves. It looks very cute, giving people the urge to pick a string and play with it in the palm of their hand. It is a "highly attractive" home plant.
