So easy to grow inside

If you're looking for an easy and uniquely beautiful succulent to grow in your indoor garden, opt for the string of pearls succulent plant. In addition to its carefree growth habit, this interesting houseplant can provide a unique focal point in the home. Spilling over the edges of a container or hanging basket, the string of pearls succulent plant resembles a waterfall of fleshy, pea-like green beads cascading down thin, thread-like stems. Although the string of pearls plant rarely blooms indoors, if placed outside during the growing season, it may set tiny white pompoms with long red stamens, bright yellow anthers, and a spicy cinnamon-like scent.

A native of South Africa, this Curio rowleyanus [syn. Senecio rowleyanuns] species is known by many common names, including string of pearls, string of beads, bead plant, and rosary vine, among others. The trailing stems of spherical leaves on this creeping succulent vine typically grow as a ground cover in its natural, arid desert habitat. Like other succulents, string of pearls is a low maintenance plant that requires very little care to remain beautiful throughout the year, making the unusual houseplant a perfect addition to the home. Whether you grab one for yourself or gift it to the gardener in your life, our string of pearls succulent plant will delight with its beauty and ease.

Cactus, Succulent & Terrarium Care Guide

ARRIVAL:

Open your gift and unwrap the container, then carefully follow the instructions below to grow and enjoy a healthy plant.

PLACEMENT:

Display succulents and terrariums where they will receive some direct morning sunlight and some filtered, indirect sunlight for a total of 6 to 8 hours of light per day. In the harsher afternoon hours, they may benefit from partial shade. Spring through fall, growing season, succulents should be placed in an area with good air circulation and a minimum temperature of 50°F at night. During winter months, when succulents go dormant, temperatures of 50° to 55°F are required. Do not expose plants to freezing temps.

WATER/FEEDING:

During the growing season, spring to fall, allow soil to become moderately dry before watering, typically when the top 1/2 inch of the soil is dry to the touch, about once every week or two. During winter, water once every four weeks or less, always letting soil dry out between waterings. Do not overwater. Succulents need good drainage and will not grow or thrive with soggy roots.

Mixed Cactus Garden

Apply complete liquid fertilizer at 1/2 strength dilution every 2 weeks throughout the growing period, typically mid-spring to early fall.

Jackson & Perkins offers a selection of fertilizer & plant care products. We suggest using AlgoPlus fertilizer for the general health and maintenance of your plant.

INSECT CONTROL:

Succulents are not commonly attacked by insects, but occasionally check the new growth, especially the underside of leaves, for signs of aphids or mealy bugs. If any pests are present, remove them by hand or gently wash the leaves with water. Do not use an insecticidal soap as it may damage the foliage.

TRANSPLANTING:

When your plant has outgrown its current pot, transplant in early spring, if possible. With each repotting, increase the pot 2 to 3 inches in depth and diameter. Terra cotta and unglazed ceramic pots are best for succulents. They must have drainage holes and be well-draining. Fill the pot with fresh succulent or cactus soil mix, center the root ball from the old pot, and place soil around it to about 1 inch below the lip of the new planter. Make sure the top of the root ball is even with the top of the soil.

IMPORTANT: Ornamental plant material should not be eaten. Keep away from pets and children.
