Meet 'String of Pearls'—the "emerald necklace" of the succulent world. With her perfectly spherical, pea-like leaves cascading on slender stems, she looks like a curtain of living jewelry. She’s a sophisticated, geometric beauty that brings a high-texture, trailing "pop" to any bright shelf!

  • The Formal Name: Curio rowleyanus
  • The Nickname: String of Pearls or Pea Plant
  • Roots: Native to the dry, shaded rocky areas of Southwest Africa.
  • Natural Vibe: Creeping along the ground, avoiding intense direct sun while seeking brightness.

Care Guide

  • Care Guide:
  • Sunlight: She loves bright, indirect light. Too much direct sun will scorch her "pearls"; too little light will make her grow thin and leggy.
  • Best Room: A high shelf in a bright living room or a sunny bedroom window.
  • Snacks: A weak liquid succulent fertiliser once a month during spring and summer.
  • Tropical Feels: Prefers average home humidity. She handles dry air better than most indoor plants.
  • Cosy Factor: Happy between 18–24°C. Avoid any extreme cold or heat from radiators!
  • Thirst: Low thirst. Let the soil dry out 90% before watering. Her "pearls" will look slightly shriveled when she’s thirsty.
  • Safety First: Toxic – can cause vomiting and lethargy in cats and dogs; keep strictly out of reach.
  • The Bedding: A very well-draining cactus and succulent mix with extra sand or perlite.
  • Family Tree: Incredibly easy to propagate—just snip a vine and place it on top of moist soil.
  • Space Needs: A prolific trailer that can reach lengths of 1–2 meters over time.
  • Speed: Fast-growing under ideal conditions, producing long, lush curtains of pearls.
  • Uninvited Guests: Aphids can occasionally target the tender new growth at the tips.
  • Moving Day: She has very shallow roots; only repot when the plant is literally overflowing the container.
  • Haircut: Trim back any thin or brown vines to encourage fresh, plump growth.
  • Fresh Air: A world-class air purifier that takes up minimal space on your floor.
  • Plant Lore: Each "pearl" features a small, translucent "window" that allows sunlight into the leaf for photosynthesis!
