Clear filtersString of Pearls – A Cascading Jewel of a Succulent
Native to the drier regions of Southwest Africa, String of Pearls is a succulent like no other. Its round, pearl-shaped leaves store water and cascade beautifully from stems, making it ideal for vertical spaces. In bright light, these “pearls” can develop a translucent line known as a “window,” allowing light into the plant for photosynthesis.
With the right care, it may reward you with small, white, cinnamon-scented flowers—though the foliage alone is enough to steal the show.
Plant Care Tips
Light:
Bright, indirect sunlight is best. Can handle some direct morning light. Use grow lights indoors if needed.
Watering:
Let soil dry completely between waterings. Use the soak-and-dry method. Sensitive to overwatering.
Soil:
Well-draining cactus or succulent mix. Add perlite or coarse sand for extra drainage.
Temperature:
Ideal between 20–28°C. Protect from frost and cold drafts.
Humidity:
Prefers dry air. Avoid placing in bathrooms or high-humidity areas.
Fertilizer:
Feed lightly during growing season (spring/summer) with a diluted cactus fertilizer.

Very fresh and attractive, it’s been a good addition to my succulent collection
Vanshika –
was genuinely impressed by the way the plant was packed. Despite being a succulent, which often has fragile leaves, the Ruby Donna arrived with every leaf intact. The pot is clean, minimalistic, and sturdy, making it easy to place directly on a desk or shelf without needing to repot. The plant itself is well-formed, with plump, ruby-tinted leaves that seem very healthy. Great care was clearly taken to ensure a safe delivery.

The String of Pearls arrived looking fresh and full, with no tangled or broken strands. The plant had a good amount of trailing length and looked exactly as I had hoped. The packaging was neat and the pot was secured to avoid any shifting during transit. After two days near indirect sunlight, the pearls became even more vibrant. I’m very happy with how well it has adjusted indoors.

I’ve been trying to find a healthy String of Pearls plant online for a while, and this one really met expectations. The pearls were plump, evenly spaced, and the plant arrived in a breathable package that didn’t trap too much moisture. The pot is sturdy and doesn’t tip over despite the trailing stems. It’s a beautiful addition to my balcony shelf.

This plant came carefully wrapped and arrived in great condition. I appreciated that the strands weren’t all tangled or squished, which has happened to me with other sellers. The green color is bright and fresh-looking. It’s now hanging in my kitchen near the window and doing really well. There were no pests, no dry spots, and it looked well-taken care of from the start.

The packaging really impressed me. Each strand of the String of Pearls was carefully tucked in to prevent damage, and the soil was still moist but not soggy.
