Just finished checking my babies! It’s my first time propagating pearls so I do keep a very close eye on them🤣I’d say keep the soil 20% time dry and the rest of time moist. I got a soil moisture tester and try to keep the reading between 3 to 6 all the time, provide them with 8 to 12 hours grow light/natural bright light per day. Two weeks in this guy has already have several new roots reaching all the way to the bottom! I can’t say it’s the best way to propagate them but it sure works for me☺️

Did you just take a cutting off yours? I’d like to try propagating mine. It’s so satisfying to prop 🤤

Yes I totally did! Once you start to prop you just can’t stop😆
