How to take care of String of Pearls

Sun: Direct - Indirect

Keep your String of Pearls in a bright room with soft, filtered light. Avoid strong afternoon sun, as it can burn the leaves.

Light: Bright

Keep your String of Pearls in a well-lit spot indoors, like near a sunny window. It should get soft light in the morning but be protected from strong afternoon sun, which can burn its leaves.

Water: When Fully dry

Water your String of Pearls only when the soil is fully dry. It’s safer to underwater than overwater, as too much moisture can cause root rot.

Humidity: Low

String of Pearls grows well in air with 40–50% humidity, similar to most homes. If the air feels very dry, mist the plant lightly or place a small humidifier close to it.

Pet Friendly: Caution

String of Pearls is mildly toxic to pets if eaten. Keep it out of reach of cats and dogs to avoid any health issues.

Pro Tip

String of Pearls doesn’t like too much water. Use well-draining soil and a pot with holes to let extra water out. A terra cotta pot works best because it soaks up extra moisture and keeps the roots healthy.

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!
