String of Pearls, with its cascading strands of bead-like leaves, requires a careful approach to ensure its health and longevity. These unique succulents prefer bright, indirect light and well-draining soil. The challenge with String of Pearls lies more in avoiding overwatering, as they are susceptible to root rot. Allow the top inch of the soil to dry out between waterings, typically every 2-3 weeks, and provide a thorough soak when watering. With proper care and attention to their specific needs, String of Pearls can be a charming and distinctive addition to your indoor garden, trailing gracefully from hanging containers or elevated surfaces.

These plants thrive in bright, indirect light, making them perfect for well-lit spaces. With their unique appearance and minimal water needs, String of Pearls can be a charming addition to your indoor garden, adding a touch of whimsy to any setting.
String of Pearls prefer bright, indirect light and can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially in the morning or late afternoon. Placing them in a location with filtered sunlight or bright, indirect light will encourage their trailing growth and maintain their distinctive bead-like leaves. While they can adapt to lower light conditions, insufficient light may result in leggy growth. Striking the right balance in light exposure will ensure your String of Pearls remains healthy and showcases its unique, cascading beauty.
