    For propagation, I cut a bunch of the growing tips off, about 3-4" pieces, cut the bottom couple pearls off and start them in a shot glass of water, they'll start to grow roots after a week or so. I'll wait a few weeks and plant those. I plant them back in the same pot to thicken it up...Then I cut some more tips and start another batch.

I have a string of pearls that I bought online about six months ago and it doesn’t seem to have any aerial roots it’s just healthy long strands so I’m definitely going to try to prune and then maybe do the spiral propagating or re-planting like you showed. Thanks again I’m excited to have found a channel that shares information like this. Keep it up! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️🤓🤓🤓
