One year with my plants Day 2 String of Rubies/Pickles
Wow this is such an awesome little plant! Of all the ‘strings’ this may be my favourite 😍
I got this plant as a few cuttings from a friend on 10th Dec. Back then the plant was bright green with red stems (pic 1) The only pot I had available was this co ver pot with no drainage, somehow it’s still alive and is a happy little thing. It has been trimmed to make cuttings for friends so it doesn’t look like it’s really grown, but you can see how full the top is now. (Pic 2-4) The rubies turned bright red after I placed them outside on my west facing porch (southern hemisphere) I have some cuttings indoors in a very low light spot (pic 5) and they’re really struggling, they’ve etiolated so much they’re unrecognisable! They live with my string of hearts which is very happy there but my rubies is wrinkling away, so if this is what’s happening to yours maybe try more light. If you prefer to keep them green I would avoid afternoon sun. If you have a bright sunny spot and don’t know what to keep there I definitely recommend these babies. I will probably take more cuttings soon and keep a ‘green’ type indoors with more light. (Or maybe just rescue the dying one I have haha) Very resilient, no pests or problems except when in poor light. 10/10 recommend. #HappyPlants #PlantAddict #BeforeAndAfter #HoyaAddictHome
