Cascading Green Jewels and Unforgettable Trailing Wonder

Common Names / Known As: String of Pearls, Rosary Plant, Bead Plant, String of Beads
Overview: The String of Pearls is an indoor showstopper with its long, trailing vines dotted with perfectly round, bead-like leaves — like a necklace made by nature! 💎 Native to southwest Africa, this succulent beauty loves bright light and dry soil. Its cascading strands can spill dramatically over shelves or hanging baskets, making it a dream plant for modern, minimalist, or boho spaces.
Quirky Fact / Common Use: Each “pearl” is actually a clever little water-storage bead! 💧 These spherical leaves help the plant survive in dry conditions. And here’s the fun part — when it flowers, it gives off a light, cinnamon-like scent. 🌸
Ideal For: 🏡 Apartments, sunny kitchens, living rooms, and home offices 🌿 Great for hanging baskets, macramé planters, and floating shelves 💚 Ideal for plant lovers who appreciate sculptural, low-water greenery ✨ Perfect as a gift or accent piece in minimalist and modern décor 🌱 Its trailing vines can grow up to 90 cm–1.2 m, making it a statement piece anywhere you place it
Received plants may differ slightly from images displayed. Unless otherwise specified, all plants come in black nursery pots.
🌿 Care: The String of Pearls is easy-going — as long as you don’t love it too much! 😅 Overwatering is the biggest mistake; always let the soil dry completely before watering again. If pearls start to shrivel, they’re thirsty. Keep the vines out of high-traffic areas — they’re delicate and can snap easily.
☀️ Light: Loves bright, indirect light and can handle a few hours of gentle sun. Great near bright windows or skylights. Too little light = stretched, sparse strands. Too much direct sun = scorched pearls.
💧 Watering: Water sparingly — roughly every 2–3 weeks in summer and once a month in winter. Use a pot with drainage holes to avoid soggy roots.
🌡️ Temperature: Best in 18–26°C, perfect for most South African homes. Avoid frost or cold draughts; this little gem is happiest in warm, dry spaces.
🌱 Feeding: Apply a diluted liquid fertiliser (e.g., 5:1:4) once a month during spring and summer. Alternatively, use a slow-release fertiliser at the start of spring for a low-maintenance boost. Pause feeding in winter.
🐾 Pet Friendly? ❌ No. The String of Pearls is toxic if ingested by cats, dogs, or humans. Keep it out of reach of curious pets and little hands — it’s best admired from a distance. 🐶🚫
