Plant Care
Everything you need to know to keep your plant happy and thriving.
Light
Bright Light
Water
Low watering. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water sparingly, especially during winter. The pearl-shaped leaves store water, making the plant highly drought tolerant.
Soil
Very free-draining cactus or succulent compost with added grit or perlite to prevent excess moisture around the roots.
Repot
Repot every 2â3 years in spring if rootbound. Move up one pot size only. Handle carefully, as the trailing stems are delicate.
Humidity
Low
Difficulty
Medium
đĄ Joe's Top Tip
Place the pot where the strands can trail freely and keep it in bright light to maintain the cream variegation. Water only when the compost is completely dry.
â ïž Common Mistake
Most people damage this plant by overwatering or keeping it in low light, which can lead to root rot and loss of variegation.
