How Do You Make String Of Pearls Grow Thicker?
You can make a string of pearls thicker by cutting off the leggy stems, propagating them, and adding them back in to the main plant. This gets rid of the leggy stems and replaces them with much more smaller growths from the top which will make the plant more bushy.
