Strings of Pearls

I started a new plant with the strings of pearl
succulent,
a few weeks ago I cut off some strands and
placed it
succulent soil.
_______________________

This little pot is 2" size
_____________________

After a few weeks I transplanted it into a 4"
pot.
________________________

A closer look, they do grow very well and once
they
grow a certain length it will bloom little fuzzy
lavender
flowers. This plant is what I call the 9th
generation from
the orginal plant which I received about 5 years
ago.
The 9th generation means the amount of times I
propagated
the plant to keep it going, Strings of Pearls
tends not to
age very well on an original plant.
