Description
String of Pearls: Trailing succulent with pea-shaped green leaves on slender stems that may reach 1–2 feet. Small white, sometimes cinnamon-scented flowers may appear.
Growing in Alabama and the Southeast
Use a shallow, well-drained pot and gritty succulent mix. Bright indirect light or morning sun works well; avoid intense summer afternoon sun. Let much of the soil dry before watering, and water less during cooler months. In Alabama, keep it protected from frost and prolonged rain; bring indoors for winter. Root stem cuttings to renew thinning baskets.
