North Carolina Farms, Inc. String Of Pearls

This plant prefers bright, indirect light. While it can handle partial sun, avoid harsh, direct afternoon rays which can scorch the delicate, spherical leaves.

As a succulent, it prefers to dry out between waterings. Wait until the soil is completely dry before giving it a thorough soak, and ensure your pot has excellent drainage to prevent root rot.

Yes, it works well in outdoor xeriscapes or containers, but it is frost-tender. You must bring it indoors or protect it once temperatures drop, as it cannot survive freezing conditions.

It is relatively low-maintenance, provided you respect its need for well-draining soil and infrequent watering. The biggest challenge is simply avoiding overwatering, which is the most common cause of issues with this variety.

It can bloom in the summer, producing small, fluffy white flowers with red and yellow stamens. While flowering is more common in optimal outdoor conditions, it is possible indoors if the plant receives enough bright, indirect light.
