The String of Pearls is perfect for plant lovers seeking a low-maintenance yet visually stunning addition to their home or office.

Plant Care Needs

• ☀️: Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. ***Prefers filtered sunlight or partial shade.*** Protect from intense, direct sunlight.

• 💦: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water sparingly, approximately every 2-3 weeks, depending on environmental conditions.

• 🪨: Use well-draining soil mix specifically formulated for succulents or cacti. String of Pearls prefers soil with good aeration to prevent root rot. We recommend our Tits & Grit Cacti & Succulent Soil Blend!

• 🌡️: Prefers temperatures between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Tolerates a wide range of temperatures but protect from frost.

• ☁: Adaptable to normal indoor humidity levels. Does not require additional misting.

• ✂: Propagate String of Pearls through stem cuttings. Simply snip a healthy stem segment and allow it to callus for a few days before planting it in moist, well-draining soil.

• ⚖: Moderate maintenance. Suitable for plant enthusiasts willing to provide occasional care and attention.

• 💭:

• Fertilize sparingly with a balanced fertilizer diluted to half strength once every 2-3 months during the growing season (spring and summer).
• Prune any leggy or yellowing stems to maintain the plant’s appearance and health.
• Avoid overwatering, as String of Pearls is susceptible to root rot. Ensure proper drainage to prevent waterlogged soil.
