String of Pearls (Senecio rowleyanus) is a popular, trailing succulent, ideal for hanging planters. It requires bright, indirect light, minimal water (only when soil is completely dry), and well-draining, sandy soil  Overwatering causes root rot, while too much sun can scorch it.
 
Key Care Requirements
  • Light: Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. In hot summers, provide filtered light to avoid burning.
  • Watering: Water deeply but infrequently. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water once a week in summer and about once a month in winter, according to this YouTube video.
  • Soil: Use a fast-draining cactus and succulent mix 
  • Potting: Terracotta pots are recommended to help moisture escape and prevent overwatering, says this YouTube video and this YouTube video.
  • Toxicity: String of Pearls is toxic to pets and children. 
Common Problems
  • Shriveling/Wrinkling: Usually a sign of under-watering or that the plant needs a drink 
  • Yellowing/Mushy Pearls: Indicates overwatering and root rot, which is often fatal if not corrected immediately.
  • Bald Tops: Caused by too little light reaching the top of the plant.
