Place your String of Pearls in bright, indirect sunlight. Too little light will cause it to stretch out, while direct sunlight can scorch its delicate leaves. A south or west-facing window is ideal.
These plants are succulents, so they thrive on infrequent watering. Let the soil dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can cause root rot, so be sure to water only when the pearls start to shrivel slightly.
Use well-draining soil, preferably cactus or succulent mix. This ensures excess water can escape, preventing soggy roots.
Keep your String of Pearls in a warm environment. They prefer temperatures between 70°F and 85°F (21°C to 29°C) and should be kept away from drafts or cold spots.
Ensure the pot has drainage holes. A container without drainage can lead to water pooling at the bottom, increasing the risk of root rot.
Feed your plant with a diluted, balanced fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer), about once a month. Avoid fertilizing in the dormant winter months.
Trim any dead or damaged strands to keep the plant looking tidy and encourage new growth.
