Sun: Indirect

String of Beads thrives in bright light conditions. An ideal indoor location would be on a windowsill or a stool placed near a window, whether with or without blinds, depending on the plant's sun tolerance. Keep in mind that the growth of the plant is influenced by the amount of light it receives.

Light: Bright

Position the String of Beads plant away from direct sunlight, but it can tolerate early morning or late evening sun. Optimal conditions involve filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain, considering that most homes provide predominantly indirect sunlight. Choose a location where the plant isn't exposed to direct sunlight for the majority of the day, yet still receives vibrant, indirect light.

Water: When fully dry

String of Beads prefers the soil to be thoroughly dry before the next watering, which may extend up to 4 weeks in a typical home setting. However, this duration can vary based on the season, your specific environment, and lighting conditions. It's generally safer to underwater and only water when signs of dehydration, such as wrinkling or soft leaves, become apparent. Adjust watering frequency slightly upward during the warmer months.

Humidity: Low

String of Beads has a low humidity requirement, so avoid misting or placing them in a terrarium.

Pet Friendly: Yes

You can feel comfortable having String of Beads plant around your home in the potential case where your pet feels like nibbling on it. However, we typically recommend keeping your pets from eating any of your houseplants.

Pro Tip

Use distilled water or let tap water sit for a day prior. This prevents leaf tip burn.

Your Complete Guide to Pot Sizes: What Size Should You Choose?

When selecting a pot for your plant, it's important to find the right size. But with all the different options out there, how do you know which one is best? We're here to help!

MyGreenscape's pot sizes chart is a great resource for finding your perfect fit. Our easy-to-read chart takes out all the guesswork and helps you quickly choose the right size for your plant.

Smaller pots are best for seedlings or small plants just starting out. These tend to be shallow but wide, allowing enough room for the roots of the young plant but not too much where they get overcrowded. Medium-sized pots are ideal when your plant has grown from its infancy and is ready for more space. These are deeper and wider than small pots, so that it can accommodate larger root systems - making sure your plant gets enough nourishment while still giving it breathing room. Large pots are top choice if you have an established plant in need of lots of space - think trees and large shrubs! The spacious depth and width allow plenty of room for deep root systems without struggling for air or light.

No matter what size you choose, MyGreenscape has got you covered, with our pot sizes chart guaranteeing you find the perfect fit every time!
