In their natural habitat they have 70-90% humidity so yes, in order for them to really thrive to their full potential, they need humid conditions always...... not only when propagating. Add a humidifier to the room and use a gauge so you can watch where the percentage is..... then, also, always keep them in bright indirect sunlight..... they also love growing on other things like trees so lava rock is a great addition for them..... it keeps them moist but not wet. follow this and your turtles will grow like mad and be gorgeous.
Love the video! Have had only 1 cutting come true from my S.O.T.. My leafs are a lot more vibrant and prominent patterns on the mother plant (especially since I've started the fert cycle again). I theorizing that if I root a cutting from the most prominent and vibrant ones, I can retain that genetic to in a sense line breed some cool patterns! Haven't added a dome for humidity but I have extra shoebox tubs that will do! Thanks for the advice!
Your String of Turtles looks fabulous. They are such stunning plants and I wish I had better luck with them. Starting to get the hang of these guys so I'm propagating away. Thanks for sharing such a great video. I love love this plant so much. It's my all time favorite! 😍
Super helpful, this is a new plant to me and I did not know that the flowers were flowers 🙄 I clipped them off and am excited to see how the plant does now. I wondered if you can make a plant dome out of a regular plastic container and top you might use for leftovers? Thanks 🙏
Hello. I'm new to the Succulent world and just can't get enough of taking in knowledge about these beautiful plants. I have a couple newly store bought plants that I'm concerned about cutting. The tops don't possess a full rosesette. Should I give the plant the opportunity to develop before cutting?
Potentially! I actually bet that it would work good cause I never seem to be able to get them to actually grow with how I propagate other succulents but this might be worth trying
Hi Jessica! Your turtles are so healthy! My small plant is struggling. I tend to overwater so I’m hoping that’s not the case. I’ll keep an eye on it. Thanks for your videos! 🥰
Just came across your channel. Mine are a pale green under a grow light. What can i do to make them darker??? I have them in a mcdonald cup as their dome fir humidity?? Ty.
I've been having a problem with my pearls not growing their roots out. Ive had them for months and htey are still alive, gut they aren't growing much in top and the roots wont grow at all past the small ball (about ping pong ball sized)
hi your sot looks so cute! I just acquired a tiny baby one and it's growing kinda unruly (like your new propagated ones in the video). What can I do to make it fuller? it's a baby now so I am thinking I should wait for it to grow bigger a bit, then trim it? and can I just twirl a cut stem on top of the soil like I would with string of pearls to make it fuller? thanks for any insight!
Mine has turned crispy brown. What did I do wrong? I bought it in 6" hanging basket. It does have a few green strands left. Any help/advice is greatly appreciated.
This happened to me... I had to take the plant out of the pot and replant the good roots. I don’t know why gardening places do this, but the roots of my plant were tied up in a sack. I had to replant mine, and there were only a few good roots, sadly. Now I am soaking the roots of my turtle plant in water, and it seems to be helping so far. And I’m having lots of new leaves growing… hope this helps!!
I don’t either but there’s cheaper ways to combat that. I currently live in Colorado (originally from Texas) and it’s DRYYYYYYY even for humans here. I’ve watched other apartment plant owners that some of them buy an ikea shelf and install lights and have a humidifier. I don’t have that kind of shelf or that kind of money and space right now. Plus I like my plants spread out throughout my house, so I just check the soil with my finger and I bottom water to avoid root rot. I also have humidifiers running on super dry days. There are pots at Walmart that have additional space at the bottom to prevent overwatering and the extra will still act as a means to keep the plant watered. For my tiny plants I’ve used those clear egg containers and poke holes on top. I’ve also used cherry tomato containers and a soda lid for the top. If a plant can be grown in water, I suggest you try that as well and put them in pretty jars and vases. It’s worked out better for me. My plants seem to prefer my recycled stuff 😂 and don’t want my pretty containers. Poo. I found plastic domes at Dollar Tree during spring/summer. Those are amazing for smaller plants to control the humidity. 😊
Hi, I would love to see how you transplant the cuttings after they root.
In their natural habitat they have 70-90% humidity so yes, in order for them to really thrive to their full potential, they need humid conditions always...... not only when propagating. Add a humidifier to the room and use a gauge so you can watch where the percentage is..... then, also, always keep them in bright indirect sunlight..... they also love growing on other things like trees so lava rock is a great addition for them..... it keeps them moist but not wet. follow this and your turtles will grow like mad and be gorgeous.
I would like to see how you took those babies from the tray and planted them. They appear so fragile
After you propagated your string of turtles, how did you you transplant them. Mine turned out so nice but don’t know how to transplant them to a pot.

Again enjoy watching your tip of how propagate your String Turtle .

Very beautiful string of turtle vines nice sharing 👌👍🙏💐
Your turtles look great! I'm inspired to propagate my String of Dolphins now!
Thank you, I just got a 5" string cutting i bought.

Could you do this for string of pearls too? I finally got one and I love it so much 😍
Potentially! I actually bet that it would work good cause I never seem to be able to get them to actually grow with how I propagate other succulents but this might be worth trying
Yes, you can absolutely do this with string of pearls!
How old are the ones in the black pots?
I just have mine in water right now and it’s starting to grow a lot of tiny leaves but I don’t know if the roots are strong enough yet
How do you know when the cuttings are ready to be moved to a bigger pot?
Would have been helpful to explain what a humidity dome is for those who don't have one....
Did you get your string of turtles from the store or online? I have looked and have never seen them in store. Tfs
Hi Jessica! Your turtles are so healthy! My small plant is struggling. I tend to overwater so I’m hoping that’s not the case. I’ll keep an eye on it. Thanks for your videos! 🥰
If I tend to overwater a plant I’ll give it a more airy soil, more orchid mix!
Try bottom feeding, my SOT doesnt like direct water from the top itll kill them

Can you use a plastic see-through bag over the newly turtles?
Sure, it works well. As long as light can get through the bag to the plants, it will work just fine.
Que belleza felicidades

Yes I would think that would work well. Also more light should have it grow the turtles closer togerger
@@AngelsGrove thank you I will try!!!

Nice!
I've been searching, but can't find alocasia corms. Where do you purchase yours from?
Thank you, and thank you for this video!
I haven’t purchased any from someone else, I have just found them in my own soil from my alocasias. But I think I have seen some listed on etsy
Quá tuyệt vời đẹp quá
girl nobody owns a humidity dome 🥲

What if i dont have a humidity dome 😭
I use plastic containers with lids that food comes in, such as Strawberries or sandwiches. Poke holes in top and bottom and close the lid
Some people say no need sun at all
Some people say need sun 😡😡😡
