My string of pearls plant, aka Priscilla Phantasm, started growing so much when I whispered to it that I love it and that I’m taking care of it and give it a little kiss. Lol

I bought a tiny baby string of pearls this past summer and it’s THRIVING I am soooo proud of it and so impressed and amazed. It just loves its little window so much 😭😭😭

I had this plant in front of a south facing window, with all my other succulents i tought it would thrive but it kept drying so bad and loosing stems !! I placed it in front of my eastern facing window so it gets really less light but it thrives !!! I have to water it a lot and often , even in winter, surely because it is in a little terracota pot with very draining soil. I really don t understand this plant but i love it 😊 ( sorry if my english is bad i'm french 😅)

I come for the info, and always get distracted by your hair. It’s amazing.

I had this plant outside for the summer and the squirrels stole it out of the pot

Aw, man! This plant was next on my to-get list and I was all ready to name it 'Senecio Del Toro' and now that idea is shot to heck. Bummer!

I started my small collection of houseplants in April this year (thanks to Jenna marbles video tbh). Im in love with all the color and growth they produce, but I have lost two plants in the process: a succulent and this string of pearl. I probably would do better now since I understand light and watering better, but string of pearl was a difficult one for me as a complete beginner. I fell in love with it when many plant books listed this plant, but the care for it is like a picky succulent in my opinion. Watch me, I'll probably get a string of pearl this coming spring lol

I just bought your book. I can't wait to get started growing healthier plants. Always look forward to your daily posts. Keep up the great work

One of the all time great house plant curiosities. Great conversation starter and one of my favorites. Beautiful, odd, green and interesting. What else?!? Your plant is nice. I enjoy it as a hanging plant.👍

I love the string of pearls, and this one is on my wish list, and I want to be sure I have the right growing conditions for it before I bring it into my home. Thanks so much Summer, I have totally been enjoying this series, See you tomorrow.

You're right...gorgeous, interesting plant...but, very challenging.. in my experience. I may give it another shot, though. Thanks, Summer! :)

Thank you so much for the great advice, you are truly a great plant person.

Wow Summer, you know a lot about this plant. I did not know they flower! Thank you for sharing🌿👍🌿

You are so knowledgeable and i just love it. Thank you i just got these and needed this. 😊

It’s a lovely plant and the variegated form looks like wasabi peas💚

This one together with a Ceropegia woodii = one of the most stunning plant combos ever, they seem just made to each other.

I love your vocabulary

Great video as always summer. I just picked up both varieties the variegated and green one. They are absolutely beautiful 😍 Yours looks so pretty. Thanks for sharing. It's always such a pleasure to see you and your plant collection 🪴

This helped me understand my plant so much! I recently bought one in the summer, and was getting mixed information about how to keep this plant.

So harddd to look after, thank you for this video

High quality content🥰🥰

was wondering when you would do a video on this plant, thanks for the video Summer.

I observed in my dad's terrace, that this plant with intense light gets a red-purple color, slightly. Thanks for sharing 🙏

Thanks for the information 😀

I didn’t know that they flower. Thank you for sharing.

This is a fun plant to grow. Some people have them with very long strings. I have about four of them that I got last year and they're doing well.

It’s great for hair plugs. I recently purchased a Buddha head pot and planted this Curio in it to cover the ‘bald spot’. Now if I can only find one that better matches his hair color! Then again, green hair is back in style.

I ❤ that you suggest an immediate repot upon purchase! Most "influencers" warn against this, but I find my success rate correlates with how soon I get them out of the plastic pots. The few occasions I've left plants in their nursery pots for a month or longer, they die back or completely implode. I now think of immediate repotting as a taboo secret that rarely fails me.

I love how accurate you are with the plant info. I'm from South Africa and its a very uncommon plant here. We don't see it in nurseries like our other popular natives... like gladiolus, BOP, Agapanthus and a myriad more. Love your videos though

I had my houseplants since I was 6 years old. I had everything that you can possibly imagine and plants that people had never seen blooming bloomed? I'm not sure what gave me the knowledge to take care of my plants but I just did it and sometimes I knew the names and sometimes I didn't like my Hoya my peperomia The String of Pearls but I didn't use the names like you do. When I hit my late twenties I moved into a house that was out in the country and it was heated with wood stoves and as I told somebody on another Channel I had gotten my Hoya from just a leaf in a styrofoam cup for a nickel at my kindergarten school Fair. They had things for sale and there was just a bunch of plants and there was that leaf and I don't know why I wanted it but I begged my mom for a nickel and it ended up being the best Hoya ever! But one night it got exceptionally cold in the room where my plants were in the fire had gone out and the person that would normally take care of that did not and my plants froze and I lost pretty much everybody. I was in my 40's. So I don't have any of my Historical house plants left but I know somebody who does have cuttings that are huge plants now so I can recover 5 or so. Not my original Hoya but one that had been in my family for many many years. My original one bloomed non-stop always. I remember being a teen and as the flowers would be ending they get a strange sent to them and I would get in trouble for not cleaning the cat box and go from that sweet smell to a smell that people thought was something else. But I loved it that plant like it was a person or an animal maybe more. Hopefully one day when I have moved into a better place I'm kind of in a temporary situation for a long time LOL but when I have a better window better Windows. I shall beg for cuttings of my old plants! and then of course I have all my new ones including this String of Pearls and it's small but it's doing really well it's a happy little thing it got a jumper have a plant I can't remember that jumped in with it that I've got to get out because it's prolific and making babies and I don't want it to overtake my String of Pearls I just haven't done it yet. that wasn't said very smoothly but you got the idea. Sorry I can't see the words I'm using voice to text. So if something is exceptionally odd just do your best to figure out what I was trying to say the phones are being very strange today!

The flower smells more like the spice cloves. Mine are super dark green. I got them from a plant store a couple of weeks ago and under a grow light for winter 24/7 is what is making them the darkest green. So healthy!

When I saw the fake version of this in Kmart I immediately told myself I'm going to get the real plant!Two years later I have them indoors and outside my patio!I did have some ups and down at the beginning but now I got to know what it needs😊

Oh yeah, Summer, I keep forgetting to mention it but you could put Socotra on the travel list of the future. I think you would be a superb guide for all the plants on that island! Just wanted to drop that idea off with you.

Amazing. ...

I love this series! (Although, I'm watching backwards, haha.) Thank you!

I have this plant snd really love the look. One bloom perfumes the whole room that it grows in which is a small second bedroom. The fragrance reminds me of the clove pink smellI of Dianthus plumarius cvs. I have it growing on a windowsill facing due south for the winter. In the summer I move it over to the top of my bookcase to the side of the window. I guess I'll be taking the label out of the pot now to erase Senecio and re-write Curio!!

I feel good now cuz she said it was hard to keep it all happy all the time but I find it really easy 😂

Thank you for another great video! I bought this plant and propagated it successfully so now I have a mom and baby plus I potted one for a friend. I never knew about the blooms so maybe I haven’t been fertilizing enough? (I’m happy with pearls) After listening to you I think I may pull back a bit from the window and water a bit less although we heat with wood so that part can be confusing. We keep it toasty warm so I’m not sure my plants know what season it is.

Oh . It is string of pearls. About bugs. I use black soap liquified it works perfectly. Yes it is true most of insta owners show it with less bright green in if not yellow pearls in some sides. Thank-you for those tips dear we love you

świetny kanał

I would just let it dry out fully and then soak it all wet and keep it even in full sun if it can handle it, if it does't survive its probably cos soil mix balance is all wrong, it should hold enough for plant to survive and not go insane on having to water once a week if possible, i have 50 plants i never water once a week except during summer with my pilea and my spider plants and hanging pothos.

I moved to Palm Springs California from north Florida and I brought mostly succulents, cacti, etc, but I couldn’t do without my few favorite non-desert plants and they’re all suffering 😞 guess I’ll be investing in a humidifier

Can you do a video about the neem oil comment that you made and further elaborate on the issues/precautions with neem oil? Thanks!

Thanks for the video. You mentioned to immediately transplant into a terracotta pot when you first buy the plant. My plant came in a 6 inch by 4 inch deep shallow nursery pot. What size of terracotta pot should I transplant it too. Thanks!

Mine is struggling 😪. I think I let it it dry too much and now that I am paying attention it seems like the peat might of solidified. Hopefully I can save it!

I grow mine in a somewhat similar situation as yours. It's about 6 feet from my SW facing sliding glass door, so it gets great light all day long. I water thoroughly occasionally. It seems happy, the pearls are plump but not to the point of popping. It's about three years old now. So how do I get it to flower? What is it missing?

I love their smell:)

Mine grows best in a west facing window. It stayed nice and full on top but as it got longer I hang to pull it closer to the ceiling, it lost the top pearls when I got less sun from above. It grew 4 ft in one summer

Hi Summer! Can this plant actuyll be grown in water forever? Like after propagating it in water just leave it in water? Thanks so so much!

Now I’m nervous 😬 I hope mine will grow I just have some starts

New to your channel...👍 Do you mist Rosemary daily. Think I saw rosemary care here a while ago...

completely off topic but your hair is so gorgeous

I bought a lg plant, it died right away. I got a sm one for replacement...I am growing it as I do my african violets...on a wick, & using my home made violet soil...peat moss, compost & pearlite. it is working. it's very healthy, & growing fairly fast. it's confusing as everything I read or watched on you tube, says not too much water, & dry out before watering. Plus fertilizing like you said, but I also fertilize w/my violet fertilizer every time I water. it stays moist also. So, is it living on borrowed time? it is so healthy. it's also under grow lights. There's no dead or dying on it either. I have a cute hanging pot to put it in. no hole in the bottom. So I plan on putting it in a sm plastic pot to set in the new ceramic one, above the water in the bottom. Have you ever heard of this before? Any advice?

Mine is got last summer nd she hasn't grown much however she has survived about 5 falls (cats!) Down to 3 strings now and I'm propagating one in water with the hope of repotting the whole thing soon. It takes time to understand this plant for sure.. Ps. Should we mist them?

Do one of these videos on Silver Squill?

I have mine hanging at my window south side and no problem, no burning.

Mine grows on the door of my fridge, a few steps away from a south facing window so it gets a bit of direct sunlight around 11am. It sits in 3 medium sized magnetic pots, next to a string of hearts. Nice plants that can help to reduce the carbon footprint of the fridge while adding a nice "jungle" vibe. Next step will be to add 2 tillandsias !

I just got one, is it ok on a table about 4 feet from a east window with some grow lights abouts 3 feet?

I prefer useful information to be short and sweet to the point. This is not one of them but thank you for making the video.

I am having such a hard time keeping this plant happy

I've not been successful w/ propagation. I've tried clipping the bottom and planting into the crown of the plant. I've tried dipping the clipped ends into a rooting hormone. What is your suggestion?

Is it true String of Pearls go dormant during summer? A KZfaqr says its growing season is in Spring and Fall. Cut back on watering during Summer. I've killed String of Pearls in no time, every time.

Can I put my pearls in a concrete pot indoors? Or terracotta better?

can u propagate it from all parts, or does it have to be the growing end only?

Do the flowers contain seeds?

Have you tried papaya leaves 🍁 with lemongrass water 💦

Mine, the leafs are fell and wringkled. Don't know what to do... Please help

Crap I just overwatered my band new string of pears plant. They look like they are about to burst. What do I do now

Can they grow in a North window?

Weirdly, I've lost two string of pearls, but my string of bananas grow so well, I've propagated it three times.

So all week you’ve been doing plants i currently have in my own collection, specifically the plants I keep in my room. I want to know how you put a camera in my house. It’s uncanny the past 6 plants. Now if you do Chasmanthium latifolium (I’ve never seen anyone else keep one indoors..) I’m going to have to sweep my room for your hidden camera.

Mine got stolen now left small propagated ones, and how they turning into banana shape! OMG

I wish i have this string of pearls . I already have string of tears

What are benefictuals??

This plant is calling me, I saw this at the nursery today n didn't buy, mistake!!

I can not grow this plant. 😔

I’m terrified to repot mine. It wasn’t trailing when I bought it, and after being in south window this summer, it’s trailing and very full on top. Are the roots typically shallow? I know it grows as a ground cover in it’s natural habitat. I plan to pot up one inch depending on what the roots look like now.

Mine isn't doing so well. I think I may have underwatered it.

My string of pearls is so dead I only have a 2 inch string propagated lol ☹️

Can NOT keep these alive to save my life! I’ve tried the pearls and string of bananas with no luck. I’ve tried everything and watched some many video ps and advice articles. I just can not keep them alive. Bought a beautiful established string of bananas and it lasted a while but it still died.

They are not senecio?

the one i had died from mealybugs. couldn't get rid of them. haven't bought one of these since.

At

I kill this plant every time. No idea why 😒
