string of pearls

String of Pearls is a fast-growing, succulent plant that likes bright light but can tolerate medium-low light. It requires very little water, once or twice a month with a spray bottle. If it's in a bright location the plant could be watered every other week. For the best results, water the plant thoroughly and allow it to become almost dry before watering again. Be careful not to over-water as this can be detrimental to the plant, especially if it's in too much sun.

String of pearls (Senecio rowleyanus) is an easy-to-care-for succulent with interesting trailing stems of round, pearl-like leaves. Its ideal lighting conditions are bright, direct sunlight for 6-8 hours per day, preferably in the morning or early afternoon. This will help keep your String of Pearls plant looking healthy and vibrant. They will also benefit from being placed close to a south-facing window or outdoors, in partial shade, during the summer months for a few hours each day. If your String of Pearls is growing indoors, make sure to place them near an eastern or western-facing window, where they will receive plenty of natural light during the day.

String of Pearls should be pruned regularly to maintain its appearance. Prune the plant, cutting back trailing stems to about 2-4 inches, in early spring and late summer - about every 2 to 3 months. Make sure to use a clean and sharp pair of scissors or pruning shears when pruning. Pruning a String of Pearls helps it to grow thicker and bushier, ensuring new growth. It also helps to remove any diseased or dead stems and foliage.
