String of What?
Can anyone tell me the name of this adorable little plant? My mom picked it up for me at a produce stand. Greg says it string of pearls, but I’m thinking there is probably another name because these are some pointy pearls! Any care tips would be great as well. My mom told me don’t under water it or over water it. 😬 #identify #HelpMeNameMyPlant #NewPlants #NewPlantMom #NewEnglandGregGang #NewPlant #PlantsMakePeopleHappy
@nellz4estfairyz I believe that's a string of tears!
@JesssJungle oooh ok! πŸ‘ it’s stinkin cute.
String of tears.
String of Tears is the pointy one. Water when soil is dry to touch. It likes the cactus/succulent soil if you transplant and not too direct sunlight. It is just like string of pearls or string of bananas. It’s original from Nambia.
@AnthuriumQueen I was trying to think of what it might be….. string of lemons πŸ‹ was all that came to mind. πŸ˜†
@CreativeBonsai ooh thank you Sheila!
We always called this string of pearls. Very cute!
And look at this new visual in the search screen in Greg
Mine said rain drops
@SuperSweetbox ooooh, today is quite wet and rainy here I like that name! I wonder if it’s the same plant just two different names for it? Or if there is any difference?
@SuperSweetbox they are called both in my area. I know them by Tears.
String of Tears for the WIN!!

I find that they are much more easy-going than string of pearls #ssop).
@heu24 thanks! 😊
@nellz4estfairyz I’m showing my age but when I think of a String of Pearls, I think Glenn Miller and his famous song
You know he also had a great song about Pennsylvania 65000 LOL πŸ˜‚
Maybe a string of tears
@Seymour yes, you are and your wisdom, lol. Nothing to be embarrassed by that…,the older the wiser. πŸ˜‚
@Seymour Fern, Fern, Fern, fernny πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜…πŸ˜‚
@Seymour I had to look up Mr miller. Actually some pretty good music! 😁 This is what my grandparents liked to listen to.
@sarahsalith what is the extra s for?
I have a string of tears I call Rainy Day People
It looks similar to a Jade plant! Is it also a succulent?
@PlantN8or I believe it is! String of Tears or String of Raindrops, from what I understand. πŸ˜€
@Seymour Love this!
@nellz4estfairyz stupid string of pearls. πŸ˜†
@Seymour I. Love. Glenn. Miller!!

I love Artie Shaw, too. 🎢🎡
I think it’s cute and I want one, what zone do you live in, I’m in a zone 10 and I don’t know if it would live here
@CuddlyTomato I’m in a zone 5 I believe. I can only leave it outside for the summer months. It would turn into a popsicle if I left it out on the winter months!
@sarahsalith lol! πŸ˜‚ I thought I saw that somewhere on Greg in the past but I wasn’t sure. I needed this laugh right now, long day for me. I am going to send this to my mom. She has said many times that they are very tricky!
