Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your hanging succulent live plant collection is straightforward, making it an excellent choice for those seeking beautiful, low-maintenance greenery. All three plants in this collection—Ruby Necklace, String of Pearls, and String of Dolphins—share similar care requirements, primarily needing bright light and infrequent watering. Understanding these basic needs will ensure your succulents thrive and grow into stunning cascades of foliage.

For sunlight requirements, these succulents prefer bright, indirect light. Place them near a south or west-facing window where they can receive several hours of bright light daily, but avoid harsh, direct midday sun which can scorch their leaves. If growing indoors, a grow light can supplement natural light, especially during darker winter months, helping the ruby necklace succulent achieve its vibrant coloration. Good air circulation is also beneficial. When it comes to watering, less is more. Succulents store water in their leaves and stems, making them highly drought-tolerant. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, usually every 2-4 weeks depending on humidity and light. When you do water, soak the soil thoroughly until water drains from the bottom of the pot, then allow it to dry out again. Overwatering is the most common cause of succulent demise, leading to root rot. Proper string of pearls care, for instance, emphasizes this ‘drench and dry’ method.

These plants thrive in a well-draining soil mix, ideally one formulated specifically for succulents and cacti. A standard potting mix amended with perlite, pumice, or coarse sand will also work to improve drainage. Good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot. Maintain indoor temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C) and protect them from cold drafts. While they can tolerate brief drops, prolonged exposure to temperatures below 50°F (10°C) can be damaging. Fertilize sparingly, if at all, during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer designed for succulents. Repot only when necessary, typically every 2-3 years, into a slightly larger pot with fresh succulent mix. Keep an eye out for common pests like mealybugs or spider mites; treat promptly with insecticidal soap if detected. Providing the right conditions will ensure your string of dolphins plant and its companions flourish.
