Overview

The String of pearls is similar in appearance to the Sting of beads except it has elliptical pearl shaped leaves instead of the circular beads. Native to Southern Africa, these plants grow as a ground cover and over rocky terrain.

Quick Care Guide

Care Difficulty: This plant has moderate care needs.

Light requirements: Likes a bright spot with some direct sunlight being beneficial in early morning or later afternoon. A sunny windowsill is the ideal place, making sure the top of the plant is getting sunlight.

Watering: Like many succulents allow the soil to dry out between waterings, reducing further in winter. These plants store water in their beads. Do not let this plant sit in water as this will increase the chances of root rot.

Humidity: Does not need any additional humidity so will work well in average household conditions.

Toxicity: Toxic to humans and pets

Feeding: Enjoys a feed once a month in spring and summer during its growing season.

Repotting: Repot when it has outgrown its current container. Use a Cactus and succulent mix and pot up one size larger in a container with good drainage.
