Being succulent, your String of Pearls requires very little water. Water your String of Pearls only when the top half-inch of the soil is completely dry or when the leaves which are usually firm, starts feeling soft.

For watering, use the Soak and Dry watering method. In summer, watering once every 2 weeks should be sufficient. Reduce this frequency in winter.

It is vital to ensure proper drainage, as overwatering or standing water can lead to root rot.

Your plant should be fertilized once a month using a 20-10-20 NPK Houseplant Fertilizer during their growth season (February to October). Avoid fertilizing during winter.

Additional Care

Avoid frequently misting your plant, especially at the crown as it is likely to lead to rot

It is important to ensure the crowns of the pearls stay at the same level with the top of the pot or at most 0.5 - 1 inch lower than the top. Otherwise, the aeration will decrease, and together with wet soil, the crowns and stems of the plant may rot.

Make sure to let the soil dry out between watering sessions in order to prevent the roots from rotting.

Succulents are in general prone to fungi attacks. Therefore it is good to treat your succulent mix with fungicide proactively.
