Does any have any advice for taking care of string of pearls? i’ve been personally victimized by these a handful of times😅

#### Steph P. replied on 2026-11-07

I am nooo expert, this is my first one! But the woman at the plant store where I got them said they like bright, indirect light and very little water, she said rot kills far more of them than neglect does. She recommended gritty cactus mix in a pot with drainage and said to only Water when the soil is completely dry, and even less in the winter. She warned me that wrinkled pearls mean it's thirsty, while mushy or yellow pearls mean it's overwatered. And if I see mushy pearls, take healthy cuttings and re-root them before the rot spreads! 😅

I've heard SOPs are... particular... so maybe this will all work. If it doesn't, I'll probably opt for a Burrows Tail or maybe String of Bananas bc I've heard they're more forgiving than pearls.
