Welcome to watch a short timelapse-story about what my String of Pearls plant did for 4 weeks on my kitchen windowsill 🪴 All my timelapse are made by Olympus Pen 7 camera, for this video it automatically took 1 photo every 30 minutes. How I make my timelapse: ua-cam.com/users/shortsi4ZkSV5PM2c
Hi! This is very individual, depending on the combination of light and temperature of the house, and also on whether the pot is plastic or clay. I read a lot like String of pearls is a succulent and needs a lot of light and little water. But my experience is different at all: bright direct sunlight is not necessary and the soil in a tiny clay pot dries out very quickly. So I water 2 times a week in the summer, one of them is adding fertilizer. I made a soil mix with ordinary soil from the store, plus vermiculite and lechuza pon. But your conditions is different, so just try different things and look what’ll happen. And good luck!
I don't keep them in the sun in summer, but do during the rest of the year for a couple of hours (morning) otherwise they get leggy. I'm causiaus with watering because of root rot, but the plants outside don't seem to care to much when they get wet. I let the soil dry, but don't let the pearls srivel. I keep them in plastic pots, and with one plant I noticed they can root pretty deep (10cm). I think maybe my soil it too airy, I use cactusmix + perlite 1:1. And maybe my soil is too acidic (PH 5-6), that's were lechuza pon would fit in. Do you use perlite to suck away to much water or because you use clay pots? Thanks for your response.@@selfmadebotanist
I don't use perlite. I think clay pots play a big role in watering, with them it is rather difficult to get root rot and overwatering. In my experience String of pearls like much weather to form new beads.
I meant vermiculite in my last question instead of perlite. But reading your reply, you probably use it to retain moisture without the roots getting too wet.@@selfmadebotanist

Beautiful
Thank you this was very fun to watch while I patiently wait on my own string of pearls to grow :)
So cute ☺️
I guess I am doing something wrong because mine isn't doing much....its not dying but its not growing lol
In this case I’d try to change something: plastic pot to ceramic, watering routine, room where it stays
Wish my plant would grow this way. At what temperature was this, how much did you water and what substrate did you use? Been struggling for years. 😞
