A little about the plant..

This beautiful, variegated plant requires little to no maintenance as long as it's receiving ample, bright light and proper watering!

They can grow well in a pot, hanging basket, or as a groundcover. Let’s dig into how you can best care for your variegated String of pearls succulent plant. 

As a general rule of thumb, a string of pearls succulent can handle more dry soil so wait for topsoil to dry between waterings. During the growing season, you can keep the soil slightly moist between waterings and reduce it during the winter dormant months. 

One of the ways you can tell that your plant is thirsty is through the “windows” or “translucent” stripe located on each bead/leaf of the plant. These epidermal windows close when the plant needs to conserve moisture meaning that it’s likely time for watering! If your plant leaves are flattening, it’s also an indicator that you will need to water your plant.

One of the best ways to water this string of pearls is through bottom watering vs. top watering. To bottom water, we recommend leaving or soaking the plant in water for 45 minutes (not the entire plant, the bottom potted part). 

If your string of pearls is bushy, we recommend bottom watering to avoid build-up of water and moisture on the leaves which can lead to fungal disease and root rot.

The variegated string of pearls requires a combination of full sun and bright indirect light for 6-8 hours per day for its growth.

If you are growing the plant indoors, place it a few feet away from a south-facing window sill where it gets abundant light. You can also grow them near west or east-facing windows that receive light half of the day. North-facing windows receive the least amount of light, so you may want to supplement with a grow light.
