Know before you buy
Not at all. As a drought-tolerant succulent, it requires minimal watering and thrives in standard indoor conditions, making it an excellent choice for beginners.
String of Pearls prefers bright, indirect light. Placing it near a sunny window where it can receive filtered light will help maintain its unique spherical shape and healthy growth.
Because it stores water in its pearl-like foliage, you should allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of issues, so it is better to err on the side of caution.
Yes, its trailing growth habit makes it perfect for hanging baskets or elevated shelves. This display method allows the stems to drape elegantly, showcasing the plant's architectural beauty.
The nursery pot is a standard plastic container intended for repotting, while our cylinder options offer a sleek, modern aesthetic. Terra cotta is a porous material that helps soil dry out faster, which can be beneficial for preventing root rot in succulents.
