Variegated String of Pearls is a well loved wishlist item for all plant collectors. It's known for its pearl-like leaves that are swirled in cream, green, and sometimes even pink and purple colors with the right combination of sun stress and water. The thin, string-like stems trail elegantly and can cascade several feet.
The plant is beautiful in a hanging basket, and can be grown inside the house in a bright airy room, or outside in a protected patio. The plant will purify the air, cleaning up the atmosphere around wherever it is situated. You will need to provide protection from frost.
Variegated String of Pearls is slower growing in comparison to its non-variegated counterpart, due to lacking some of the chlorophyll that completely green leaves possess.
Care Tips
Light: Indirect light, shade, or early morning sun. They are more sensitive to direct sunlight as the variegated parts lack the chlorophyll to process it. Direct sunlight would cause sunburn easily.
Water: Only when potting mix is dry to touch. Needs regular infrequent watering in summer and much less in winter.
