String of Pearls Care and Growing Guide

Yes, String of Pearls can thrive indoors with sufficient indirect light. Place your plant near a window where it can receive bright, filtered light.

Yellow leaves are often a sign of overwatering. Make sure you’re allowing the soil to dry completely before the next watering.

A well-draining succulent or cactus mix is ideal for String of Pearls to prevent water retention and root rot.

Propagation is easy using cuttings. Simply take a cutting, place it in water or soil, and let it develop roots over time.

String of Pearls plants prefer bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can burn the leaves, while too little light can make the plant lose its vibrant color. Place it near a window with filtered light for best results.

Signs of overwatering include yellowing, mushy leaves, and root rot. Check the soil to ensure it’s dry before each watering. When in doubt, it’s better to underwater slightly than to overwater.

Yes, but fertilize sparingly. Use a diluted, balanced fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) to encourage healthy growth. Avoid fertilizing in fall and winter when the plant is dormant.

With the right care, String of Pearls can grow rapidly, especially during the growing season. It’s a trailing plant and can reach several feet in length over time, adding about a few inches per month.
