Growing habits of the string of pearls

The string of pearls likes a warm, humid environment with strong scattered light and partial shade. Light should be kept at medium intensity; even weak light allows it to grow normally. The ideal growing temperature is a steady 16-24 degrees, and 5 degrees in winter is optimal. It prefers fertile, loose soil containing organic matter, and grows best in loose sandy soil.

Cultivation of the string of pearls

The string of pearls can be propagated by cuttings. Cut off a stem, bury half of it in sand or loose soil, and keep it warm and moist without letting water accumulate. Once roots form, it can be planted.

The string of pearls can also be propagated by division. Planting can be done at any time during the propagation period except the cold winter.

For potted plants, when repotting is needed, the crowded potted seedlings can have their old soil removed and be divided into several clumps, and each clump can then be potted separately to become a new plant.
