How to Propagate a Ruby Necklace Plant

- You can propagate a ruby necklace house plant by cutting anywhere on the stem. Once you have a cutting that you have cut from the mother plant, you can peel back a couple of leaves from that fresh cut stem area. This is the area in which you’re going to re-pot into your new pot of soil. You have to be careful though because these leaves on the plant are somewhat heavy and that can weigh down the cutting when planting it. It’s very common for the leaves to drape over the pot, and the weight of it all pulls it right out of the soil. Some people use a trick to DIY a bobby pin and use it as a stake to hold the stem down.
The ruby necklace plant is known as a trailing succulent and it’s from South Africa. The little leaves on the plant look like small little pickles and that’s where it gets its other common name from the string of pickles. This plant turns a different color when it’s put in super high lighting. Some Collett sun stress but a lot of these succulents prefer very high lining.
Once you have planted your new ruby necklace plant cuttings you need to make sure that you’re giving them lots of water. We find that watering the plant with a spray bottle helps a little bit more because you don’t want the soil getting too wet. The spray bottle enables you to just water the surface of the soil instead of all of the soil. you have to remember that the cuttings of the stem are only within an inch or so of the soil surface and that’s what needs water.
This is the first of your videos I’ve seen, and it was very helpful. I absolutely love succulents. I have so many of them. I can’t help myself when I find something new. The other day I saw the ruby necklace, and I had to buy it! First of all, it’s a Succulent! second of all the name Ruby is so important to my family because of a dog that we had and loved so much. And her name was Ruby. Thank you 🙏
Your video is exactly what I needed in efforts to save my String of Pearls! I'm hooked and have subscribed! You're my new BFF! Thanks, Chris!!!
Thank you for this video! I just adopted this lovely plant and some of the pickles fell off! I am much more prepared to propagate!
Thank you for video! I just got my first Ruby and need to transplant!
Thank you for this! I just bought one and dropped it while I was trying to repot it so I'm trying to salvage the pieces that broke off!
Thank you! I was afraid I was burning mine but not I know that it’s supposed to turn red!
Thank you. I’m going to cut some of my Ruby necklace & gift it to a friend. It is getting quite leggy. I think I’ll cut the new growth and plant in middle of pot like you did to fill it out also. What brand rooting hormone do you use? Aloha from Kauai 🌴🍃😎
I ordered one through 4 the mail and it looked very dry. It perked up but then started to fail. I unpotted it to check out the roots into repot it into a terracotta pot and some of the roots were possibly rotted but I couldn't tell. Now I see they look like they are dying and I pulled it out of the soil and the stems that I planted in the soil are rotting although I've only watered it deeply once. My question to you is; could I just set them on top of soil using bobby pins or paper clips and have them root that way? And do you recommend a heavily gritty soil or a mix of potting perlite and course rock? Sorry for all the questions but I don't want to lose them. Do these look savable?
I was going to add a picture but it looks like I cannot do that through the comments. Thank you for any advice!😊
Hey! I know you aren't asking me but I have had the same 4 ruby necklace plants for 4 years each and propagated them once to make 3 new plants that are 2-3 years old now so I wanted to tell you that I live in the desert in Arizona which is insanely dry and I still have to use a cactus potting soil mixed with about 75% perlite for ruby necklace and pretty much all my other succulents too. Always use a minimum of 50/50 cactus soil/perlite with any succulents. If ur not sure it's time to water, grab a looong matchstick or toothpick or bamboo skewer to put in the soil and only water if you insert it and it comes out completely dry with no moisture..and for the ruby that has rot, cut all the healthy stems off, let them callus for a day or 2 then lay them on the soil mix and they should root no problem! Hope it helps!! ❤
@@ericapaul7989hey thanks for your advice! I really don't want to lose these ones. So I did cut all of the bad stems I repotted them using a gritty succulent mix called bonsai Jack's. I pinned them down with bobby pins and lightly misted the top I thought they were doing okay but now see that it looks like some of the stems are turning black again unless I did not get them all last time. And they are looking shriveled. I don't believe they are wet or over watered as this soil is extremely gritty but I also don't want to water them just in case. So do they propagate by just leaf? I was wondering if I could again remove any black stem and then just set them on top of the soil versus pinning them down. I wish I could insert a picture to show you. I am taking this very personal lol and determined not to lose them. I live in Florida and I move them to a window that gets a lot of bright light. Any answer or advice you could give me would be very much appreciated!
This video is very helpful and educational. The camera movement is nauseating.
It would help if you would hold the camera still! I can't even tell what you're doing!!
Yesss!!! I got motion sickness and my eyes hurt watching!!!! Good info, but I had to stop watching because of all of your in and moving of the camera. Need to just keep steady.
:(
Seriously would prob be a great video but because you move the camera so much, it made me nauseous so I am not able to watch it all the way thru! 😢 yikes!
