I’m having a bit of trouble getting my string of pearls to grow. No matter what I do, she seems very stagnated. Any recommendations?

Try increasing the amount of exposure to light and give it stronger light by moving the plant closer to a window or closer to the grow light. Regularly fertilize. 🪴🍀

I already have it under a grow light - how often should I be fertilizing? I’m using liquid fertilizer

Fertilize with 50% diluted fertilizer every two weeks. Stop fertilizing in winter. 🪴🍀

How strong is your grow light? Usually the cheaper lights won’t have high enough wattage, especially those tube lights with multi colors.

Try using the light meter in Planta or use a light meter app online. You can also buy a light meter device to measure the amount of light reaching the plants. Search online for the amount of light needed by a particular plant. 🪴🍀
