Plants

December 26, 2024

Is it because it is just like a string of pearls? I am a gal who likes her jewelry after all.

String of pearls – Senecio rowleyanus- care instructions

To care for a string of pearls plant, place it in bright, indirect light and water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Trim any yellow or wilted leaves (pearls) to encourage new growth. Fertilize monthly during the growing season and repot every 2-3 years.
