Care Tips

Light: String of Raindrops is more like semi-shade, exposure to sunlight may burn the beads, too little light is not strong growth. When raising them indoors, you can put them on the balcony and ensure that they get more than three hours of light a day, but be careful to avoid direct sunlight when attacking them.

Watering should not be done directly with large amounts of water, but slowly and thoroughly with a small spray can, or you can also spray the water on its leaves.

Soil: The soil must be loose, permeable and water-permeable, and the soil should be changed once every year or two to avoid soil caking. You can prepare your own nutritious soil when you maintain it, or you can buy special soil for succulent plants directly.

Potting: The plant has a very shallow root system and can be planted in shallow pots. Place a layer of clay pebbles on the bottom of the pot to increase air permeability and water filtration (especially if used with plastic pots).

Temperature: The best growing temperature is between 68-82°F (20-28℃), so it is important to keep it warm and place it in an air-conditioned room when it is too low in winter, and avoid direct sunlight in summer.

Care Instructions

To ensure the health of succulents, it is important to plant them in porous, well-draining soil. Succulents require little watering, but don't like to sit in wet soil. To create an adequate cactus mix, simply add pumice, perlite, or grit to cactus soil to provide the proper drainage.

Make sure to leave drought periods between waterings to prevent the plant from water-logging.
