Do not allow direct sunlight to hit the foliage as it may damage the leaves

In case of insufficient Sunlight, place your String of Pearls 6 - 12 inches below a fluorescent light fixture for about 12- 16 hours per day.

Watering

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.

Soil

Rich fertilized soil will promote the root growth of your vine. But the soil must have an excellent drainage system to prevent the waterlogging situation.

You can add extra topsoil to your plant during the growing season to replace the soil you lost throughout the year.

Fertilizer

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.

Toxicity

String of Pearls is toxic and not suitable for spaces with pets and children

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.
