How to Care for Your String of Pearls

When you find the right place for "string of pearls buy," you’ll want to keep it thriving. This plant prefers bright, indirect sunlight and well-draining soil. Let the soil dry out between waterings—overwatering is one of the only ways you can go wrong. During spring and summer, water more frequently, but cut back during autumn and winter. String of Pearls also likes a little extra humidity, making it suitable for kitchens or bathrooms. If you notice the pearls looking shrivelled, it's time for a drink, but if they look mushy, scale back on watering. The plant is not frost-hardy, so ensure it stays indoors or in a fully protected spot when the temperature drops.
