String of Pearls Care Guide:
- Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. It can also tolerate some direct sunlight, especially morning or late afternoon sun. In low light, the plant may grow slower and become leggy.
- Water: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's essential to ensure good drainage.
- Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix. A combination of potting soil, perlite, and coarse sand works well.
- Humidity: Average household humidity is sufficient for the String of Pearls, as it doesn't require high humidity.
- Temperature: Ideal temperatures range from 65-75°F (18-24°C). Keep the plant away from cold drafts and avoid temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
- Fertilizer: Feed with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing during the winter when the plant is dormant.
- Propagation: Easily propagated from cuttings. Simply cut a few strands, allow them to dry for a day or two, and plant them in well-draining soil.
