About this plant
A succulent that trails rather than sprawls. The round leaves store water, and slightly wrinkled pearls are its way of asking for a drink.
It needs more light than most trailing plants: a sunny windowsill or a hanging pot close to a bright window is ideal.
Care tips
- Water from the base, so the crown at the top of the pot stays dry.
- Lay a few strands on the compost surface to root and fill out the top.
- Use a shallow pot with a drainage hole.
