String of Pearls Plant

This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Placing it near a sunny window where it can receive plenty of ambient brightness is ideal, but avoid harsh, direct sun which can scorch the delicate leaves.

As a drought-tolerant succulent, it prefers to dry out completely between waterings. During the growing season, water sparingly, and reduce frequency even further during the winter months to prevent root rot.

No, this plant is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best kept in a hanging planter or on a high shelf that is completely inaccessible to curious animals.

Use a fast-draining potting mix specifically formulated for succulents or cacti. This ensures proper drainage and prevents the roots from sitting in excess moisture, which is essential for the plant's health.

You should plan to repot your String of Pearls approximately every three years. Because they have relatively shallow root systems, they do not require frequent repotting and actually prefer to be slightly root-bound.
