String of pearls: the one with a bit of a reputation

String of Pearls is one of those plants people either love or give up on.
It’s dramatic, sure — but not impossible.

Here’s the thing:
If you give it too little light, it’ll start dying.
If you give it too much water, same story.

But when you get it right — it grows fast, trails beautifully, and doesn’t ask for much.

here’s how to keep it happy:

• put it in a bright spot
  We’re talking next to a window that gets lots of natural light.
  Direct morning or late sun? Even better.
  Don’t even try it in low light — it won’t make it.

• don’t water unless it’s bone dry
  This is a succulent.
  It wants to dry out completely between waterings.
  If the soil still feels even slightly damp — wait.

• a trick:
  When in doubt, skip the water.
  Most problems come from watering too soon.
  The soil should feel like dust all the way through. (Use the finger test.)

bottom line:

If you’ve got light and patience, String of Pearls is worth it.
Give it space to trail, don’t fuss, and you’ll get rewarded with one of the most unique plants out there.
