Propagating is a way to make multiple succulents from the same succulent. Stem cuttings are a great way of repairing string of pearls that have become leggy. They can also be used to propagate new plants from the etiolated roots. String of Pearls can thrive indoors as well as outdoors. String of Pearls thrive when they are given the right soil. Mixing a specialized soil mix or combining sand with perlite and potting dirt will achieve this type soil. Cacti prefer fast-draining, rich soil. This is typically made up of larger particles like bark, gravel and perlite.

Agave attenuata, the first succulent to suffer frost damage in winter, is Agave attenuata. Encourage better flowering requires cooling in winter. Those indigenous to the Americas, such as cacti and agaves, or to northern climates like many sedums and sempervivums, tend to fare better than those from Madagascar and South Africa (kalanchoes, aeoniums, aloes and crassulas). The more sunlight your Kalanchoe gets, the better it will be. The damage you have done will be almost invisible when it's over.
