these love to go bone dry between waterings. When time to water, sit in a bowl until it stops absorbing more water!

uhhh from my experience she hates water and loves light. I usually water her once her pearls first start showing signs of wrinkling

@LoyalYellowrose Noted. Thank you! I'm nervous about lack of light 😬 I have only a north facing window 🤞🏽

@SesameSeeds777 Thank you! I'll keep an eye out for wrinkling.

Wrinkling is a good tip! Another way of knowing is by gently pinching a pearl, if it starts to squish (isn’t firm) it’s ready for water!

@Greengyal Wow Ashley! How long have you had your String of Pearls plant? And what fertilizer do you use?

@Greengyal : They need light from above them. If you can, buy a grow light .

Am curious 🤔.
Where did you get her?

I can't answer your question because I don't have a String of Pearls plant but sure would like to grow one!

But... that's not realistic because there's no room 😳😍

@CutePolypremum I've wanted one for a while and just happened to find one in a plant shop I walked by in NYC. It was a very local shop, I don't know the name of it.
