I have a new member in my plant family. It's a string of pearls. It looks just like its name with round, succulent green gem hanging down. We had at least four basket before and they all end up dead. The plant hates to be soggy. However, my mom usually watered it too often. I was so happy when I first saw it in the Farmer's market in union square. I carry it carefully all the way back to SB. However, after strictly follow what the seller said (watering once per week and put it in full sun) for three weeks, my first string of pearl looks almost dead:( I googled to see how other people take care of theirs and found one sell in Amazon also sells it. Wow~The first time I knew you can even buy live plant in Amazon. Even the review is half positive and half negative~i still got mine.
I got mine really quick after i ordered it (around 4 days). The string of pearls is careful wrapped. All the vines was moved to the top of the basket. It took me a while to untangle all the pearls. I was shocked by how long and full it is. The top of the basket is completely covered. I hang it close to the window in the kitchen~hopefully this one can live longer :)
Instruction form the seller:
Light: Window.
Water: Water when surface is dry. They are forgiving if you forget.
Fertilizer: Use either a balanced or low-nitrogen formula at low levels, but frequently---March through October.
Soil: Should be loose and porous like a cactus soil.
