That is a thriving plant! I love all the "string of" plants lol

I've got to tell you this Nick, but during this time of self-quarantine, it is such a pleasure to see you with a new video sharing your love of plants. I really anticipate that little glimpse of hope into our future and your sense of humour and compassion with anything living that is green (or has hints of purple or blue) Chloro-fills my heart with joy. You're a good man and you need to hear that. Darryl

Thank you, Nick. I just found you by searching for care for string of pearls plants. I'm a plant killer but I'm trying to learn and do better. My string of pearls is not looking good but I'm trying to keep it alive. I appreciate all your tips. 🙂

My string of pearls is definitely one of my favorites, the sign for me is when the slightly translucent window on the pearls starts to disappear due to wrinkling I know it needs water! This has worked really well for me because I had one previously that I loved just a tad bit too much and killed due to overwatering!

I live in Toronto, Canada and I also have my SOP hanging in front of a south facing window. I check on the pearls every few days or so by lightly squeezing them and if they feel plump, leave them alone! If they feel soft, I leave for a few more days and give a thorough watering. I’ve killed a lot of string of pearls (both regular and variegated) and have learned to just not repot them and just watch how much I’m watering them 🥺😅

Wow what a beautiful plant friend.

I love love love this video. I keep re-watching :)

i'm DREAMING and hoping i can get my string of pearls to be that full and stunning. seeing all those beautiful beads cascading down is amazing!!! thanks for making this video

That is the most beautiful, healthy string of pearls I’ve ever seen. I’ve over-watered mine and am desperately trying to give it the kiss of life.

String of pearls is truly a beautiful and easy plant. I’ve been trimming mine and propagating it like crazy

Your tips on how to know when they're thirsty is the best

my new favorite variety of this plant is string of watermelons. just found it at my local store and I am in love

Love the tip of the shiny vs dull pearls!

I have mine outside because our roof has big overhangs. The space it’s in, is a patio with shade cloth on top, like in a nursery. It’s been through frost and 110 in summer. I water it frequently in summer. I took and cut off strings that look unhealthy and threw it in a hanging planter with an old coconut liner and some old potting soil in it. The crazy thing is it’s doing better than the mother plant. The peas are huge. The mother plant is still in a plastic pot. I’m definitely going to replant it in a terra-cotta and see how it does. I’m experimenting with the peas by putting them up against the house facing south in the shade, because it’s so hot. I moved them from a table where it was getting more sun, but the little clear windows on some were turning white. I’m thinking because it’s getting hotter and was stressed out. I’m just learning by experimenting with location. Hopefully they will do good. Thank you

i have never seen a healthier string of pearls WOW

My daughter just bought me a tiny pot of SOP...they're about 10cm long. It was LOVE at first sight as I'm crazy about succulents on the whole. Hope to see mine grow well and beautiful like yours. Thx Nick, for sharing your plant knowledge. I enjoy watching your channel bcos your plants are all so well taken care of by you.

Thank you for another good growing tip. My “string of” plants are doing well at this time....I do wish we had less gloomy days though.

I just got my first string of pearls and was a little hesitant on how well i would be able to take care of it but now i'm feeling good about it! thanks so much!

Thank you for the tips! I just got mine a few weeks ago and it started putting out little white flowers today. It's such a gorgeous plant and I'm excited to see mine grow and thrive hopefully

I just purchased one today 😊 Thanks for your informative video

I can confidently say I was one of those customers that told you I’ve killed countless strip of pearls plants 😬 this video is gonna give me confidence in purchasing another but we’ll see if I have success

Very weird coincidence but I just got given a string of pearls for my 22nd birthday! My friend sorta unknowingly bought it for me so I'm quite happy

When I brought my string of pearls home it was also infested with spider mites. I almost killed it trying to get rid of the bugs. But it is thriving today and so so beautiful. I eventually had to take cuttings and root them and put them in clean soil.

I LOVE the string of Pearls plant, and its one of my favourite succulents, thanks so much for sharing and sending lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle XXXX

Funny I was just checking my new little guys this morning. Love you!!☺️

Great video. I have JUST gotten a string of pearls and I am researching what to do. Your video rocked. Thanks.

Thank you for this info! I’m on my 3rd string of pearls plant….hopefully my third time is a charm and I can keep it alive! Your tips will certainly help 😊

I have my String of Pearls in a very bright north window...all my windows are north facing. It seems to love it so far...it’s about 6 months old and about 2 feet long. Has yours always been that thick on top, or have you ever cut some length and placed in the top of the pot? Yours is absolutely beautiful! 💕🇨🇦

Wow beautiful plants very long thanks for sharing your vedio awesome plants watching from California

I just repotted mine... the soil was soaking! I'm so glad to have done it, thanks for the tips!!!

Your string of pearls is absolutely fabulous 😍 I'm hoping mine grows up to be as healthy as yours. I'm a first time grower of the string of things plants lol They can be tedious at times if not provided the right conditions. Thanks for sharing. I love your personality so much! Your such a bright spot in my days❤

Thanks for the tip on lighting..... moving mine straight away.

Great tips Thanks Mine is super tiny. Hopefully someday it gets big like yours 🌱

Thank you Nick for your wonderful advice! I purchased the variegated version about a month ago. It does not seem to be growing much. I'm so impatient! I went ahead and transferred it from a shallow 6" bowl to a 3" terra cotta pot as I was watching your video. While I was transplanting I did notice it had a lot more roots than when I just received them. Hopefully, this will help with the growing issue. Thanks again for all your help!

I think you're absolutely right about the east facing window. I tried that twice and failed. 😕 Trying in a west facing window and so far, so good! One day I'll transplant the pot...😬 Thank you so much!

I need one of these ASAP! I have a great sunny window where these could look amazing! thanks for this video, Corbin Cape Town

Hey, Nick! I bought two of these off of FB marketplace and she had them potted in a glazed ceramic container. I brought them home and combined them into one plastic pot, THEN watched two vids here that suggested using a terra cotta pot. 🤦🏾‍♀️ Gonna repot tomorrow, then leave it alone! Thanks for the advice!

Love your videos. This one also specially how you explained the light coming through windows of all directions.

Lovely specimen. Mine is a darker green but I have it close to a north eastern window. Yes, I live in the south Pacific.. New Zealand. Really enjoy your videos. Easy to listen to and informative. Keep joyful and safe, Jo.

Thanks for the info Nick, its a plant family I love and really struggle with, my main problem seems to be mealies, as soon as I see ants, I know where to look! Also I maybe potted them into too big containers so my project for week 4 of confinement here in France is repot (downsize) those that are suffering the most. They are in a south-facing conservatory, so light is not a problem.. Thanks again!

Thank you. My string of pearls is in my care just 2 months or so. Really good timing.

Thank you so much Nick! I have strings of bananas and dolphins that LOVE life. But my pearls struggle so much. I will definitely follow your advice to look at the new growth for watering.

Hi thanks for the video ! I had mine in a southern exposure but it didn't like it at all !! I had To water it every 3 or 4 days and all the " pearls" dried and felt ! So i moved it in a north- east facing window and it seems To like it ! So strange 🤔 I live in france, in a pretty cold area so the sun is not the problem usually 😂 (Sorry for my bad english 😅)

Thank you Nick! I killed my first one because I was doing EVERYTHING WRONG. Now I want to get another one because I now know exactly what to do! Now I need help on rabbits foot ferns lol

Love ❤️ all your plants and all your kindness Nick and how easy you explain how to care our plants how when I visit Philadelphia I’ll be able to visit your store🙏

Thanks for the great tips. Mine is alive but I’m noticing it’s losing the top pearls. So I’m going to try more sun.

Most people in California grow them outside.💚🌱💚🌱

The one thing I always listen for when watering string of pearls is HOW MUCH WATER when it’s time to water? I keep killing mine. Any recommendations?

Just purchased( 2 )two string of pearls they are still in the original pots ( 2 weeks ?) I am on my way outside to find some pots for them ! I love ❤️these plants ! Thanks for your advice 😇❤️ 👍

I got the jumping dolphins senicio back in December and experienced SO much death at the roots. So greatful they easily rooted but they definitely do not look like little dolphins anymore!

Thanks for your tips. Appreciate it. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I've had my string of pearls plant for more than a year, in a corner with an east and south facing window (mostly just gets morning light), and while I wouldn't say it's dying, the newer pearls are all very small and not fully round, it does not grow very fast, and it seems to have a re-occurring aphid problem (or something similar to aphids).

I have a small one. It is a lovely plant. Thanks for your tips...

I just got one of these a few weeks ago, thanks for you tips!

Thanks for the tips! I work at Stump and I’m trying to learn more about these to answer all the questions I always get. :)

My baby SOP is thriving in my south facing window, it loves that texas sun! Had a small bug problem when i got it, thought it came from the seller. Happy to know it might be a small problem to always look for!! Love your videos!

Thanks for sharing , and keep up.

Great info! Thank you...

THANK YOU! I really enjoy your channel.

Thank you, mine hasn't grown despite being on the south facing window, but I'll repot to a smaller pot, fingers crossed it will help. Thanks for sharing:)

Gorgeous plant! I’m going to look for one of these when the crisis is over. Great video

Super helpful thank you !!!

I have mine in my very shaded north facing sun room and it’s grown a almost a foot this winter!

Hi :D First time watcher & new plant lady. My first plant is some sort of string of pearl, (so it sounds like I chose a tricky first plant LOL) the pearls aren't quite round, but definitely not like the banana shape. It's had quite a bit of new growth that I did decide to cut back to allow the plant to focus energy on the top.

Waoooo just amazing 👏

Very beautiful and healthy ❤. Did you propagated these ?

My string of pearls seems to be living happily in an east facing window. However the pearls on top are way fuller than the teeny tiny pearls on all of the new growth since I got it. How do you have such full pearls throughout the whole plant?

Hi, I envy your String of Pearls. I bought 3 in Aug and already killed them. I bought another 1 last week. It was still short, just on top of the soil bag but the roots are already long and deep into the soil. However, the soil was heavy and very wet so I transferred it into a pot with a moist cactus and succulent mix. I didn't water it since the pearls are still plump and shiny. May I know when and how to water it? Some say to keep the soil moist and just mist it every few days until the roots are fully established, and other say to wait till the top of the soil is dry before giving it a thorough watering. Thank you in advance.

I will have to try growing one again!

Thank you! One day I will try them indoors again. I killed the first one. The second one started doing badly so I threw out outside and it’s not dead. The third one went directly outside and is sitting with the second. They are so pretty I just wish I was good at taking care of them 😭.

What is the diagnosis for pearls that are oblong, rather than fully developed? Mine has length and isn’t terribly stringy, but the pearls have trouble fully forming into little spheres, they stay in the immature phase for an extended period of time.

Mine is in an east facing window simply because most of the windows in my apartment are east facing and have unobstructed light! It seems to do well, I have it in a small ceramic pot and it is growing quickly.

Hello Nick. Just wondering about misting. Rarely is misting mentioned in plant care videos. Can you tell me if the string of pearls appreciates being misted and if so, how often? Much Thanks.

I love these but have not had much luck with them! Maybe I'll try again this year in a west-facing window that gets tons of light!

Love it!❤💐🙏

Hi Nick! Love all of your videos! Would you mind sharing how you made that plant hanger?

I killed my first one. I think I watered it too soon and put it in a big pot as well. Just got another one yesterday. Going out to get it a small terracotta pot now. Fingers crossed this time!

I have used dishwasher soap to water all my plants. Keeps all bugs away.

Have you repotted it? Or when will you know when it's time to repot? Thanks for the video!

Just found your channel and am loving it! I bought a string of pearls plant about 2 months ago and it has sparked my obsession with indoor plants (I already grow my outdoor veg from seed). I would love to see a how-to for propagating string of pearls. Thanks so much and look forward to your next video!

Beautiful 😍😍😍😍

That's one impressive sop. Mine is alot shorter but my pearls are the size of a almond.

this is my third tries with a string of pearls, so far both are doing well. I just repotted it I bought them at the local store about 2 weeks ago, but it was raining all week then and the stores didn't really cover them, so I am worried that they will die too. they were soaking wet, so I transferred them both, but I haven't water them yet. I think my issue is I'm so worried that they might die so I'm so scared to water them when I feel the soil is still damp.

Wow such a beauty! (Mine s still a baby sw window)

I have a string of pearls plant with spider mites. I sprayed it with Captain Jack's.The plant is in close proximity to my other plants. Do I need to quarantine the plant or can I just raise the humidity level?

Do you top water or bottom water yours?

Mine has thrives (it’s huge) in a southeast facing windowsill

I’ve just bought string of pearls and a vaxer full spectrum ikea light. How far should I put it from the plant? I want to keep this baby thriving without frying it! Yours look so gorgeous hopefully mines looks like that one day.

Are those strings sticky? Mine seem to be sticky and the beads are not round

Another helpful episode, thank you! When you first got it, did you replant pieces in the top to get it that full?

Nick, HELP! I've had my string of pearls the same amount of time as you. I also got mine in a 4" pot but now, mine is about 1/10th the length as yours and the pearls are small. When I first got them, the pearls were about 1/4 to 5/16". Now they're about 1/8 to 3/16". They are in a southwest window in dappled light to bright shade all day. When I give them more light, I tried a grow light, they bleach out and turn brown but do not grow any bigger. So, It's back to the dappled light and they green up again. What do I do to get them to grow bigger?

Also do you too or bottom water this plant?

Really rip the roots up when reporting! It helps it breath a lot better and kickstarts new growth

Great I learned alot as I gid kill my 1st plant and want to try again.

hey kick, i wanted to ask how old your plant is because mine is still quite short and i cant wait till it gets longer

I just got mine. I have it under grow lights and should I make it a bit less light from it?

When it is time for watering, how much water do you give it?

How long after I purchase one should I repot it?? I purchased one this week and I have a pot to change it but I didn't want to shock it.

You said that the top were dull because they are old. I hear what happens to the whole plant once the top either get old or decintegrate? When should I start propagating to save the bunch from dying? Please explain the process. Thank you

I have a 2.5" pot of pearls, a wee baby. There seems to be 3 growth points in the soil. I bought it and it was 3 little clusters. Now its starting to vine out, 3 inches out of the pit or so. Should I just let them grow? Or fold them into the top, to encourage more vines? I want to have the full curtain one day.
