Cultured pearls were first produced in Japan. 🦪 In the late 1800s, Kokichi Mikimoto discovered that introducing an irritant to an oyster will create a pearl. This discovery has not only impacted American culture, but cultures all over the world. Stream #HowDoTheyDoIt on discovery to learn more. #AAPI #API #Japan #Pearls #AAPIHeritageMonth | Discovery

There are a couple of ways to propagate string of pearls. In this video I will demonstrate water propagation: ➡️Cut off one of the strings ➡️Remove the bottom few pearls. Roots will grow from the nodes (where each of the pearls was) ➡️Put in water. SOP propagate VERY quickly, you will get roots in only a few days Same rules apply as for any propagation: ➡️Take only healthy cuttings ➡️Provide bright indirect light. More light speeds up propagation and increases success rate ➡️Replace water weekly
