String of Pearls is a succulent with long stems that can reach over a meter in length. In its natural habitat, it is a creeping plant. As an indoor plant, it is appreciated in a hanging pot with its gracefully trailing stems. The trailing stems are adorned with small, round, green and white beads that sparkle in front of windows! This plant needs plenty of light to maintain its good health. In spring, small white flowers appear, emitting a sweet cinnamon scent. During winter, from December to the end of February, it likes to rest by reducing its light exposure, ambient temperature, and watering frequency. This resting period encourages its flowering.
