String of Pearls Care Guide

Lighting Conditions

The String of Pearls thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate some direct sunlight, too much can scorch its delicate leaves. Place it near a bright window for optimal growth and to encourage its vibrant color.

Watering Requirements

Water the String of Pearls thoroughly when the soil has dried out completely, usually every 2-3 weeks. Be careful not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot. Ensure the pot has good drainage to keep the roots healthy.

Temperature and Humidity Needs

This succulent prefers temperatures between 60°F and 85°F (16°C to 29°C). It is drought-tolerant and does well in dry environments, making it ideal for homes with central heating or air conditioning.

Fertilizing and Growth

Feed the String of Pearls with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing in the fall and winter when the plant’s growth slows down.

Repotting and Maintenance

Repot the String of Pearls every 1-2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Trim any dead or damaged pearls to maintain its appearance and promote healthy growth.

Decorating with the String of Pearls

The String of Pearls makes a striking addition to any room, with its trailing vines and unique round pearls. Display it in a hanging planter or on a shelf to create a stunning cascading effect that brings a touch of elegance and charm to your indoor decor.
