• Description: The string of pearls is a trailing succulent native to South Africa. This plant has long, loose tendrils with pearl shaped foliage which retains the plants' water.

To care for your Succulent 'String of Pearls,' here are some tips:

1. Lighting: Place your String of Pearls in bright, indirect light. It thrives in bright, but not direct sunlight.

2. Watering: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so make sure the soil is dry before watering again.

3. Soil: Use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix. This will help prevent waterlogged soil and promote healthy root growth.

4. Temperature: String of Pearls prefers temperatures between 60-75°F (15-24°C). It can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures, but avoid exposing it to frost or extreme heat.

5. Humidity: This succulent doesn't require high humidity levels. Average room humidity is usually sufficient.

6. Fertilizing: Feed your String of Pearls with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength. Apply it during the growing season (spring and summer) every 2-4 weeks.

7. Propagation: String of Pearls can be propagated by taking stem cuttings. Simply cut a healthy stem with several pearls and place it in well-draining soil. Keep the soil lightly moist until roots develop.

8. Pruning: If your plant becomes leggy or starts to lose its shape, you can trim the stems back to encourage fuller growth.

Remember, Succulent 'String of Pearls' is a unique and beautiful plant that requires minimal care. Enjoy watching it grow and thrive in your space! 🌱😊
