String of Pearls 4"

String of Pearls 4"

Light:

Provide bright, indirect light for optimal growth.

It can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially in the morning, but avoid harsh afternoon sun to prevent leaf burn.

In lower light conditions, growth may become leggy, with the pearls spacing out.

 

Watering:

Water sparingly. Let the soil dry out between waterings to avoid root rot.

During the growing season (spring and summer), water more regularly, about once every two weeks.

Reduce watering in winter when the plant is dormant, as it requires less moisture during this time.

 

 Soil:

Use a well-draining soil mix such as cactus or succulent soil.

Ensure your pot has drainage holes to prevent water from pooling at the bottom, which can lead to root rot.

 

Temperature & Humidity:

String of Pearls prefers temperatures between 70-80°F in summer.

In winter, it can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures, but it should stay above 50°F 

It prefers a dry environment and does well in average indoor humidity.

 

Fertilizer:

During the growing season, feed once a month with a diluted liquid fertilizer formulated for succulents.

There’s no need to fertilize during the winter when growth slows down.

 

Pruning & Propagation:

Prune any leggy or dead vines to maintain the plant’s shape and encourage fuller growth.

Propagation is easy: take a stem cutting and place it on top of soil or in water until roots develop, then replant.

 

Pests:

Common pests include aphids, mealybugs, and spider mites. Treat infestations with neem oil or insecticidal soap.

 

Extra Tips:

Positioning: String of Pearls looks best in hanging planters, where its vines can cascade naturally.

Repotting: This plant likes to be a bit root-bound, so don’t rush to repot unless absolutely necessary.
