I have a new plant, String of Pearls that I purchased at Smith and Hawkins, it is nice and full, very healthy even has a few tiny pink blooms. I have previously purchased this plant and I have not been successful in caring for it. If anyone knows the secret about this plant I would love to know. Two years ago the town where I lived was suffering through a drought and there were severe watering restrictions. Succulents were the answer. Since then I continue to add to my collection. For some reason this one has me stumped!
