- In this video, I show you how to propagate Crassula Perforata / String of Buttons using stem cuttings and leaf cuttings. I show you what soil to use, what container to use, how to place the stem and leaf cuttings on to the soil for it propagate. I then waited about 3.5 weeks after to show you the results of the propagation.

I just bought one of these plants a week ago. It’s tiny. I’d never seen them before and I’m in love! When I was moving it inside from my garden gazebo, some of the leaves broke off. Thank you for this video and information. I’m excited to propagate!
thanks for watching!
Lol “I’ll show you how to prop FROM LEAVES” …(leaves die)
The other plants look gorgeous though!
Twist and turn! It works perfect.
This plant is absolutely stunning ❤
I think the music is a bit loud. I turned it down but then couldn't hear the dialog.
Thanks, will try to make the music softer next time. thanks for stopping by :)
Oops. Okay I see what I did wrong. All my leaves ripped 😢 I’ll try again with some remaining stems! Thanks
This is kinda hard for a fair comparison due to the fact that all of yours already have roots
You're right. Whenever I propagate, it's always easier if there are already roots growing for obvious reasons. But even without roots, it would still work. I've done it in the past. Have a few videos coming up to show the progression. thanks for commenting!
And this is why I love yt.mid. Id never think those came off!! Thanks!!❤
Any ideas on why this type will start to “stretch”? Mine is in a window
Love your plants, I just want to touch them and say hello babies lol 😆
🤣😂
Do you water like you normally would, or does this need a light watering until it is rooted?
I water lightly but more often. About once a week or try not to let the soil go completely dry. I also try using a spray or squirt bottle when propagating.
Honestly the music makes this practically insufferable 😅 great video minus the music.
Omg, I was wondering if anyone else was going insanely mad. 😂👀
I'm doing this cause mine has root rot 😭 hoping it works
Good luck!
Same! It's been neglected during the winter and then overwatered due of panic😅 (it's my first succulent). It kinda seems like a lost cause but it's always worth trying!! Good luck to you!
@@lyingXduck Good luck! Hope it works this time!
Has anyone got any videos on when this plant dries out? Cannot find one.
Hi! Did you ever find one? I had an “incident” & so need a video/ info on the same thing. Thanks in Advance!!
@@kaylacooleybodine7138 unfortunately no
Beautiful plants❤
Would the Buttons and a Paddle Plant work together in an arrangement?
Do you need to wet the soil before you put the cuttings in?
Some people do but I don't normally wet the soil. What I do is water the soil after sticking the cuttings in. Hope that helps!
How long did it take you to get wide, plump, leaves like that? I have a crassula string of buttons from last summer that didn't do super well right from the beginning. I'm trying to save and revive what I can. But, all I gained through the summer was height. The leaves didn't widen at all.
The leaves have always been plump like this. Maybe you have a different type of Crassula perforata. I've seen smaller ones that look slightly different but don't know what they're called. Could also be that the stems were stretching because they needed more light and that's why your leaves looked different? They also flatten and shrivel when in need of more water or very dry.
@@succulentplantcare373 I checked, and I actually bought the baby necklace crassula (in addition to the buttons...my buttons are plump, too...just got them mixed up with each other). I had to look it up previous purchases on Etsy. Lol
So, I guess I'm not watering the baby necklace as much as I should, but that's because people always say not to over water them. The stretching makes sense, too. Hopefully I can revive the poor things (I have two survivors). Thanks for replying; the info you provided was very helpful. 🙂
@@scootermom1791 Hi, I looked up what baby necklace crassula looks like and they are adorable 🤩!
From what you're saying, my guess is that they need more light and more water. Hope they look better soon. Good luck!!
@@succulentplantcare373 Thank you! I actually attempted to gently break off some dead leaves from the baby necklace, and unfortunately the stem, itself, broke off. It was quite brittle. So, I'm hoping I will have success in getting the healthy part that's left to propagate. I've tried, unsuccessfully, to propagate succulents before, so I'm crossing both my fingers and toes this time. 🙂🙂🙂
@@scootermom1791 Wishing you lots of luck!!! 😊
Thank you!
What about the cut off part that stayed on the mother plant? Mine just dried but the plant is still alive. Only the small part of the cut off stem is dried
The stump of the cut-off part would sometimes grow new shoots. Usually, it grows two new shoots. But if it dries up, then it may not grow any new plants.
영상 잘 봤어요 ~~^^
what happened to the leaves?
R.I.P leaves..
Yes, sadly the leaves did not make it. I always have better luck with stem cuttings. thanks for stopping by!
I have one in a prop of water. I’ve noticed that’s it’s grown quite a bit. It’s just the stem that is in the water. No roots. Could I still place it soil ? Will it root?
No roots? How long has it been in water? Usually I see roots growing after about two weeks or so in water. Yes you can try planting it in soil and see if it roots. I’ve tried this with an Aeonium stem and it worked but have not tried it with this plant.
Sorry to break this to you but that’s not String of Buttons. It’s the larger version which has a different name.
I have never been able to propagate this from leaves.
Yes, leaves are tougher for me too. Stem propagation is the way to go for me with most of my succulents.
I got two roots growing on some of mine. Believe it or not these are two seperate triangles that have the roots so maybe try breaking then
uh oh, I damaged the stem
Hope your plant is doing well...
Never EVER water any succulent cutting that doesn't have roots..... NEVER!
