Care Guide: Growing String of Pearls in New Zealand

To keep your String of Pearls looking lush, place it in a bright, well-lit spot with indirect sunlight. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings, as overwatering is the most common cause of problems for this succulent. Use a well-draining potting mix, and fertilise lightly during the growing season. With the right care, your String of Pearls will trail beautifully and may even produce small, fragrant white flowers. This resilient species also grows well alongside other distinctive succulents like Senecio jacobsenii and Senecio serpens, offering a variety of forms and textures in your home or indoor garden.
