What is the String of Pearls Known For?

The String Of Pearls is best known for its unique pearl-like leaves that hang from long, slender stems, giving it a striking appearance. This plant is a popular choice for hanging baskets and indoor displays due to its low-maintenance nature and unique aesthetic.

What Is the History of the String of Pearls?

The String Of Pearls plant originally gained popularity as a household ornament in the late 20th century. It belongs to the Asteraceae family and has long been admired for its unusual, bead-like foliage and trailing growth habit. Over the years, it has become a staple in modern and minimalist home décor.

Where Does the String of Pearls Originate?

String Of Pearls plants are native to the dry regions of Southwest Africa, including areas of Namibia and South Africa. These plants have adapted to their arid environments by storing water in their bead-like leaves, making them highly drought-resistant.

How Do You Care for a String of Pearls?

Caring for a String Of Pearls plant is relatively straightforward. They require well-draining soil and moderate to bright indirect light. Overwatering can be a concern, so it's best to let the soil dry out a bit between waterings. They also appreciate a mild liquid fertiliser every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.

Are String of Pearls Toxic to Pets?

It's important to note that the String Of Pearls plant is toxic if ingested, especially for pets like dogs and cats. The plant contains a toxin that can cause gastrointestinal issues such as vomiting and diarrhoea. If you have pets, it's best to keep this plant out of reach or choose a pet-friendly alternative.
