String of Pearls
The String of Pearls is one of the most iconic trailing succulents, instantly recognizable for its cascading strands of plump, bead-like leaves. Each “pearl” is a modified leaf that stores water, giving this plant a unique look and making it relatively low-maintenance. Its trailing vines can spill dramatically from hanging baskets or shelves, creating a lush, living curtain of greenery. Care Tips: Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Can tolerate some direct morning sun but avoid harsh afternoon rays. Water: Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings. Water sparingly, as this plant is prone to root rot if overwatered. Humidity: Average household humidity is fine. Ensure good air circulation around the plant. Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 65–80°F. Protect from frost. Soil: Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix. Growth & Display:The String of Pearls can trail several feet long with time, making it perfect for hanging planters or high shelves.
