Care Tips for String Of Pearls:
- Light: Indoors, place it near an east-facing window for morning sun. Outdoors, position it in partial shade to receive bright, indirect light while protecting it from harsh midday sun.
- Temperature: Should be kept at average indoor temperature of 70°F - 80°F.
- Soil: String of Pearls needs well-draining soil to prevent root rot and ensure healthy growth. A cactus or succulent mix works well, and adding perlite, coarse sand, or pumice improves drainage.
- Water: String of Pearls is highly sensitive to overwatering and should be watered about once every two weeks, ensuring the top half-inch of soil is dry before watering.
- Please Note: String of Pearls is toxic to both humans and pets if ingested due to the sap it contains. If accidental ingestion occurs, it’s important to contact a veterinarian or healthcare provider immediately for guidance.
