Succulent 'String of Pearls'

String of Pearls 🫧🌿 is loved for its bead-like leaves that spill over the edge of the pot like a living necklace, giving it a fun, sculptural look that stands out right away. It does best in very bright light indoors, including a few hours of gentle direct sun, where it can trail beautifully from a shelf, hanging planter, or sunny windowsill. This plant is fairly easy if you have the light for it, but it struggles more from overwatering than from being ignored a little. Pro tip: use a pot with drainage and let the soil dry out fully between waterings ☀️.
