Hi there! I’m a propagation newbie \& have a question about the best method to propagate string of dolphins. An entire string fell off a healthy plant while I was moving it and I would love to propagate it (if possible)! I appreciate any and all advice ☺️💚🐬

The best way to propagate those is to lay that vine on a small pot of cactus soil. You can use bent paperclips to hold the nodes down onto the soil, that is where the roots will come out. I would use a pot about the size of the vine if you pin it into a circle.

I had a single strip like in the first picture and I wrapped it and pinned it down like in the second picture.
