That’s amazing! 💚 Did you use fertilizer? I’ve grown some succulents from cuttings, and they’re all doing really well, but I’m not sure when to expect the string of buttons and string of pearls to start having offshoots.

I added some shake and feed when I first got her. Lately I’ve been adding some succulent fertilizer. Anytime a leaf falls off I pop it back in to the pot and it starts growing.

Omggg i have the same thing! Any tips?

I fully admit Florida weather helps big time. I keep it in indirect light in my balcony and the warmth and humidity seem to help it thrive. I only water it when it’s fully dry and fertilize with a succulent fertilizer. If any leaves drop, I just put them back in. I had a long strand take off before the rest and I chopped it and poked it back in the soil and it’s growing babies too.
