Wow! Do you have any tips you wouldn’t mind sharing? I’m new to any string of things plants (aside from my sedum morganianum).

Yours looks to be sedum burrito, morganianum’s close cousin. If you make a post for it in the cactus and succulent group, I can give you some tips if you’d like 😊

so i’ve had no luck with the ruby necklace, string on pearls, and some others in the past. this is a first for me as well it stayed outside from may-now. i didn’t touch it or anything i just let it be! but now that she’s inside for the fall/winter i have grow lights that stay on for about 4-6hrs just to make sure she gets enough light!

#### Adrian replied on 2024-09-09

I see! Would you say yours acts more like a hanging succulent, or something akin to a pothos?

#### Makayla🌿 replied on 2024-09-09

so when it was outside during the summer i had to put all my plants under my metal bench because my deck gets direct sunlight for almost 8hrs straight so my plants were burning, so i switched mine was on the floor for that reason only. but it’s definitely more of a hanging plant in my opinion.

when i take my burros tail out of the macrame hanger i normally take the whole thing down to try and prevent the leaves from falling off but its kinda hard not to especially when the leaves are so firm. i think its inevitable to not have leaves fall off unfortunately lol

### Heather B commented on 2024-09-10

Wow! I just bought a new string of bananas cuz I killed my last one. Fingers crossed it flourishes like yours!

#### Makayla🌿 replied on 2024-09-10

i hope yours does well too! trial and error is ok i definitely have some bad luck with certain plants it’s just not fun wallet wise lol🪴
