String of Buttons: this succulent's stacked leaves twist along the stem like buttons on a string, giving it a bold, geometric charm that’s hard to beat. Also called a Necklace Vine, this unique Crassula is perfect for cascading from a planter or standing tall in a pot. This is an adorable must-have succulent gift for every Lazy garden. Plant Care Notes The String of Buttons thrives in bright, indirect light but can handle some direct sunlight, too. Just don’t leave it out in harsh afternoon rays—morning sun is best if you want to avoid leaf burn. These plants also prefer warmer, cozy temperatures, so make sure to bring them inside during the colder months to avoid frost. Water infrequently, and go with the tried-and-true soak-and-dry method for your best chances of success. Water deeply and then wait until the soil is dry before watering again. In cooler months, cut back on watering to keep it happy. Well-draining soil is essential to prevent root rot. A cactus or succulent mix with plenty of pumice or perlite will do the trick. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Propagating a String of Buttons is easy! Simply snip a cutting, gently pluck off a few bottom leaves, let it callous for a few days, and plant it straight down into fresh soil. In no time, you’ll have a brand-new String of Buttons to admire.
