- Humidity: Average household humidity is ideal.
- Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 18–27°C (65–80°F) and should be protected from frost.
With proper care, String of Pearls will develop longer trailing stems and can produce small, fragrant white flowers during its growing season. Each plant is unique, and slight variations in size, fullness, and strand length are natural.
