# This is my second time owning a string of pearls:) my other one…

_Posted by NorbNeeb on 2025-01-01_

This is my second time owning a string of pearls:) my other one thrived but unfortunately my boyfriend accidentally killed it while I was on vacation.  
I’ve researched the string of pearls to get an idea of how to care for it again (once you have so many plant babies you tend to get fuzzy on how to care for specific ones) but I’d appreciate any tips/any one else’s care guides!!! (Watering, lighting, sensitivities)

I generally struggle with these …. But in my experience- lots of light and let the soil completely dry out between watering

Flowers!? Wow... have had mine a long year or two at least. Repotted it today and hoping it survives... I just piled all the trainings in the pot over dirt.
