The simplest approach available to this plant is stem cutting, which involves taking a few inches of healthy, disease-free stem. Some advise drying the cutting for a day or two, while others advise putting it right into the potting soil.

Let’s find out the steps to do in order to cut a nickel string.

Cut the stem of this succulent down by at least 4-5 inches using a pruner. Before using the pruner, make sure to clean it, as washing is required to prevent bacteria from infecting the healthy stem. Rubbin’s alcohol, which is used to clean plant-cutting equipment, is an option.

Once you have a cutting of the nickel plant, take it and leave it somewhere dry for a day. Use your standard potting mix and drop it inside the pot along with the cutting base if you’re in a rush.

All of the leaves that are extending about 2 inches from the base can be removed.

Use any regular well-draining potting mix, coconut husk, or orchid bark mix as soil.

Make the soil moist for roots by watering it. Dischidia nummularia cuttings will develop roots after a few weeks, at which point you can merely maintain your string of nickels as usual.

Don’t overwater; just the right amount will do. Allow it to dry.

During the growing season, you can feed succulents with liquid fertilizer.

How often do you water a nickel string?

They don’t need much water because they are nickel thread succulents, but they prefer to spend the majority of their time in damp soil. You can water this plant once per week or every four days. In My Dischidia, I often just add some water at that time if the top 2 inches of soil become dry.
