String of Pearls Plant

Description

Few plants get as much attention as the String of Pearls. Its bead-like leaves trail down in delicate strands, almost like a green necklace. This live String of Pearls plant from India Gardening comes in a 3-inch black pot, with the full plant about 5 inches tall. It is ready to grow into a lovely cascade in a hanging basket, on a shelf or by a bright window.

Key Features

• String of Pearls trailing succulent with bead-like leaves
• 3-inch black pot, compact and stylish
• Full plant height about 5 inches
• Pack of 1 live plant
• Loves bright light, with some gentle sun
• Needs little water, so easy to look after
• Ideal for hanging baskets, shelves and window ledges

Product Highlights

The round, fleshy leaves of the String of Pearls store water, so the plant likes to dry out between waterings and does not need frequent care. As it grows, the strands lengthen and spill over the edge of the pot, which looks lovely in a hanging planter or on a raised shelf. The black pot gives a strong contrast to the fresh green beads and looks smart on a desk or shelf. It enjoys bright light and a gritty, free-draining soil mix, and it can be moved to a larger pot or basket as it grows. It makes a one-of-a-kind gift for birthdays, housewarmings and festivals. Keep it out of reach of pets and young children, as it is not meant to be eaten.
