String Of Pearls - you’re downright fabulous growing as a houseplant & in a container in the garden. I’ve grown them in both situations so can we be honest here? Growing them outdoors is much easier, for me anyway.
I want to share with you why growing a String of Pearls plant indoors can be a bit tricky so hopefully this will help you to keep yours looking as beautiful as those strands around Audrey Hepburn’s neck in Breakfast At Tiffany’s.
The most common signs that a String Of Pearls isn’t doing well are: the stems and pearls are thinning out, pearls are shriveling, stems are disappearing, & the stems are dying. Our most popular blog post is on String Of Pearls so I get a lot of questions regarding String Of Pearls dying.
String Of Pearls is definitely a plant with character and seems to be loved here, there and everywhere. I hope this helps keep yours healthy, happy & looking good!

how can anyone dislike this video??? she is so sweet and wholesome and knowledgeable !!
Preach!
I agree.
I love her bubbly self!! I just purchased a string off pearls plant! Fingers crossed I keep it alive 😩
how is it going coz i just got one 2
3 mins in and 3 reasons.... IVE BEEN DOING EVERYTHING WRONG.... LOL... lets continue
So glad I found your channel!! I’m new to house plants and I really appreciate this video!! You have a new sub!!
Very informative video on the String of Pearls. One of the best. Last year was my first attempt at caring for them. I tried 3 times last year to no avail. I've studied up further this time since on succeeding caring for these plants. So far the 2 I bought recently are holding up with no sign of dying. So far so good. Looking forward for them to really take off growing in the summer. I am determined at succeeding with these plants. Thank you for the info.
I guess I got lucky because I had immediate success with mine. Grows super quickly. I have noticed that it requires regular watering which is unexpected for succulents. At least mine does; it’s a baby though.
You must have the touch with these Stephen. Mine have done well but that's not the case with many. Nell
I absolutely love your channel, your demeanor, and your wonderful plethora of knowledge! Keep doing what you’re doing, my houseplants are so thankful I found your channel!! 😂 Much love! ❤️🌱
Thank you so much Madame Luna! I've grown a lot of houseplants in my day so I'm happy to share. Nell
Thank you for the tips! I agree that’s definitely easier when they are outside. My challenge is here is Michigan is long winter. My plant room is about 20% humidity and it’s warm under lights. So my string of pearls would have dried strings. Whenever I touch soil it was super dry. I did partially close heat vents and introduced humidifier which got humidity in my plant room to 30%. Bit still the plant is more on a dry side.
You're very welcome! That would be a challenge for those long winters. My SOP gets a few dried stems from time to time here in the desert but in the summer it's blazing hot & hard to avoid. I just water it more often. Nell
Thank you for all the info.
I just brought home a string of pearls and fuschia from california while i was visiting. I placed them next to eachother and thanks to this video now i know better and separated them.
I live in el paso, texas and the fuschia needs misting daily to fight the dryness. Thank you for saving my string of pearls from my ignorance and possible murder. Haha
Very nice video! I’m about to loose a string of pearls and you just answered my questions so very well. I will be propergating whatever I can salvage and will take your advice. Thank you sooo very much.
Thank you! Many people struggle with SOP indoors so I've wanted to do this video for a while. Finally got around to it. Nell
I just ordered my first SOP so thanks for these tips. I can't wait for it to arrive. It is so cold here so I hope it survives it's travels!
You're welcome! SOPs is a great plant. Nell
JoyUsGarden not many survived for me unfortunately :( but I'll try again over summer
I’m just starting out with my string of pearls. Excited and nervous. Thanks for your tips.
please say more about the soil and what i should buy - i'm in the uk. What type do i need? with vermiculite? thank you for any help you can offer.
You need cactus mix soil with a little perlite
What a lovely video... What lovely plants c:
I try propagation of zz plant by cutting the stemes and put them in water and i succes i so happy 😙😙
Oh great - I love the ZZ! Nell
Thank you now I know what to do with my very healthy string of pearsl
Live in Tucson, Arizona as well! Was wondering if the intense summers would be too rough for string if pearls! So glad you cleared it up! Where I can I get the local soil you talked about?
Such a FANTASTIC video Nell :-D and brilliant advice, thanks so much for sharing and sending you lots of love and happiness and plant power from Ireland to Arizona XXXXX
Hi Lyn! I know we both love SOPs so thank you. Love of hugs & succulent filled goodness to you in Ireland from the Sonoran Desert. xxoo Hugs, Nell
Thanks for the great advice! I recently purchased a string of pearls in a 6in nursery pot that is kind of shallow. It's about 4 in deep. I'm having trouble finding shallow terracotta pots around. What size of pot would you suggest for my plant and does it need to be particularly shallow? Also, would cactus mix mixed with perlite be okay for soil? Thanks!
Hi how to watering in week or
I got mine a week ago.The middle of the plant started rotting out. I have a moisture meter so I didn't over water it. But it was definitely planted to deep in the middle. So ill have to re pot the sides to save it I recon. now at lest I can maybe save it.
I found you on Pinterest and I started following you! I hope to learn!!!! Thank you,
Monica Davis Tucson, AZ
Great Monica. I'm doing a Fishhooks Senecio cuttings giveaway within the next week. Video to post this Sat. Stay tuned - you might want some! Nell
Oh man, yes, I'm obsessed with these. I think because they're amazing and they're a challenge. But you just confirmed part of what I realized and that is an open chunky mix, more free draining!
If you know, or ever want to talk about how the nurseries get the SOPs so dense and thick on top, and everywhere else. Like the shots you showed are incredible, I'm dying to know what they do ;D Anyway, thanks for the info.
Oh yes, they're a pleasant obsession! I'd have more of them if I didn't have so many plants already. Oftentimes you buy them in a mix which is too heavy so it's good to transplant them. The growers get SOPs thick & dense by cutting them back. Then by the time they're ready to repot them into hanging baskets, they already have a sizable crown. Nell
Thanks for your answer Nell :) I'm definitely going to try that with one of my SOPs. I love experimenting with them. I've had the greatest success when I plant them with other plants in the same pot and treat them more like ground cover underneath the other plants in the pot. I figure that's a more natural way for them to grow? Anyway, thanks.
Thanks! This was very helpful 😄
Very nice tips thanks for the help😻😻
You're welcome! Nell
Superb,excellent
Thank you so much! Nell
I would love to hear more about your soil mixture. Thank you for your fun, entertaining and very educational videos.
You're welcome! I've found a locally formulated succulent & cactus mix which I love. It's a vey light, chunky mix which succulents love. Nell
What type of sug.is in your picture in your comment
I’d love to know what kind of soil you use for your string of pearls. I’d be ever so grateful if you could tell me.
I leave in Alabama i would love to buy a string of pearl please let me know how to buy thanks
Does anyone know what temperature these can go down to? I want to grow them outside in the UK.
I love my string of pearls! It’s so weird though... it was doing just alright and I started misting it just a little bit when I mist my prayer plant and it started growing like crazy! Maybe mine is just weird!
Who knows Tori - you never know with plants! SOPs "mush out" pretty easily & in general succulents don't need misting. Nell
Hi
I have had good luck with my string of pearls but recently I’ve seen the pearls on them are getting smaller and smaller as they get longer I did re-pot from a plastic pot to a terra-cotta pot but no luck. The pearls on the strands keep growing shorter and smaller compared to the ones on the top of the pot. Any suggestions
If it’s too cold in the house will that also affects my pearls? I just received a 2 inch pot of pearls about a week ago and they looked beautiful when I got them but now some of the pearls are looking mushy 😔
Don't like using worm castings every time i have purchased them they always have gnat eggs in it no matter what brand I've bought. can I use something like azomite or something similar?
If I could, I'd crossbreed echeveria or aeonium with string of pearls to see what it might create. Maybe echeveria leafs on a vine? Who knows!
Who knows! I'm doing a video on transplanting my aeoniums soon so stay tuned. Nell
Awesome! Will look out for it
Do you know if the brand of soil you buy is sold on line if so what is the brand as here in western Nebraska the soil sold is really poor. Thanks so much
No Leatha, it's only sold in southern Arizona at garden centers & hardware stores. Good succulent mix is hard to find in many parts of the country. Nell
I like your vids a bit longer and as often as possible :)
Thanks Dan! I make my income blogging so that's where I hangout most. I wish I had more time for RUclips because there's so many videos I want to do! Nell
Hello Joy so i boughta 6inch string of pearls and the crown was starting to get dry. So i changed the plastic pot to a terracota and haven't watered her because she was super wet when i go her :( shes surviving barely and have her in a northeast window shes not as beloptuous as yours in the video i am from the east coast, i have been using a humidifier for my succulents am i following the steps right... can you please give me some advice? i love your videos they are very informative thanks again...
Hi - That was my last point; sometimes the plants are too wet when you buy them & it's hard for them to dry out. NE window in the winter on the east coast may not be enough. I'm in Tucson where a NE window would be fine. They do so much better in bright, natural light. Water less often in lower light situations & in the winter. Nell
Thank you soo much ill follow these instructions!!
Nice
Thank you! Nell
I know you have a few string of pearls. Could you show us where they are? I just love looking at SoP. They are one of my favorites to look at but not to grow :b
beatifull country
Romli - The desert in winter is beautiful. Nell
i like it
Just saw that they are a ground cover type of plant. Saw a video showing the plant growing naturally in Spain. 😒 So living in the PNW, I rather doubt I am going to buy any from this family again. Not the right plant for my area, home, or me. I appreciate them, don't get me wrong. But I didn't research their natural habitat before I purchsed. But that's how gardening, indoors and out goes huh? Learning everyday by successes and boo boos. 🙂
I love your channel so much !!
Hi. Great video!! I’m new at growing succulents. My string of buttons has two new tiny little brown circular spots on the leaves near and/or closest to the edges. It’s in a window ledge facing the east, but the buildings east of me block the sun for the most part until it’s mostly in the south. Probably gets about 2-3 hours of sun. I also have my horizontal blinds closed 70-80%. Can you help me figure out why these spots are forming? It’s in cactus/perlite in a well draining pot. Watered only when completely dry. Thanks 🙏
Lol. I barely touch mine and it's doing well. I guess it lucked out in my bedroom window.
I’ve been planting it for twice and I failed twice too, the string pearls turned rotten.
Do you put yours inside during the summer?
I accidentally sunburnt mine what do I do to save them
What about the other cousin the string of raindrops or tears as they are sometimes called?
Hi Suzie - That's a Senecio also & you care for it in the same way. On my list to do is a video about String Of Bananas care. The common names get interchanged! Nell
Love your videos! they have been very helpful and i am wondering if you can do a updated video on how you use worm castings?
Hi Flora - I love your pink hair! I plan on doing a video soon about how I use worm castings & compost for houseplants. I'll go into the benefits more then. Nell
I live in Phoenix. Do you keep yours outside during the hot 3 degree weather?
what brand is your sweater! Loveit!
Would these appy for string of bananas also?
Yes it would. I'm doing 2 videos on String Of Bananas within the next month so stay tuned for those. Nell
Wow great video! I live in Tucson, Arizona as well... and I love to garden, and I’m into succulents. The string of pearls I have not had any luck with and I just don’t know why.... I have the strings of banana that grow crazy and even like ground cover, and hanging. So I tried my 4th time and it died. I don’t want to give up. One of my daughters live in Phoenix and she’s loved gardening as well. And she just can’t get the string of pearls either. I would love to get insight from you! And are you on instagram? I will check! Thanks 🌵
Hi neighbor! I'm on instagram but haven't updated that in ages. I'm just about to do a post & video on SOB & that's 1 of the things I'm going to say - it's easier & grows much faster than SOPs. People struggle with SOPs & that's why I wanted to do the video. Most of the struggles stem from not enough light & too much water. The post has 10 reasons: www.joyusgarden.com/10-problems-growing-a-string-of-pearls-plant-indoors/ Nell
Great I can’t wait to see! I just realized how to tell if I get a reply back if I asked a question! So I’m glad I saw this I was wondering ! Thanks so much!
What is that soil mix you are talking about at 1:44? I'm from Tucson too and would like to know where I can get it.
Mine always died like one day after I take them home 😭
💕💞❤️😘👍
Thank you! Nell
How's bragging camp going...getting stupid watching this...been in hort for 25+ years..with succulents...more braggadocio
What?
It's called string of beads! 😐😑
Nuh uh.
They are actually called String of Pearls: Senecio rowleyanus.
