Succulent 'String Watermelon'

Succulent 'String Watermelon' 🍉 trails long stems of small oval leaves striped dark green, like tiny watermelons. It's a fun one for a hanging basket or the edge of a shelf where the strands can hang down. Give it bright indirect light (a little gentle sun is fine) and water when the soil is dry. Pro tip: wrinkly, deflated beads mean it's thirsty; soft or mushy beads mean too much water, so ease up 💧. When it arrives, give it 2-4 weeks to settle in before you repot.

Sold in a 4" pot
