Provide Bright, Indirect Light String of Pearls thrive in bright, indirect light. Place them near a window with plenty of natural sunlight, but avoid direct sunlight for long periods as it can scorch their delicate leaves.
Water Sparingly These plants are succulents, so they don’t need frequent watering. Let the soil dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can cause the roots to rot, so be sure to check the soil moisture before adding more water.
Well-Draining Soil Use a well-draining soil mix specifically for succulents or cacti. This will help prevent water from sitting around the roots, which can lead to rot. Make sure the pot has drainage holes to allow excess water to escape.
Temperature and Humidity String of Pearls prefer warm temperatures (65°F to 85°F) and low humidity. Keep them in areas that aren't too humid, as they don’t like moisture in the air. Avoid placing them in drafty areas or near cold windows in winter.
Fertilize Occasionally Feed your plant with a diluted, balanced fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Over-fertilizing can cause leggy growth, so use it sparingly and avoid during the dormant winter months.
Prune to Maintain Shape Prune your String of Pearls regularly to keep it from becoming too leggy. Gently trim back any long or unhealthy strands, which will help encourage new growth and keep your plant looking full and vibrant.
