String of Buttons needs at least 6 hours of light daily. It tolerates different lighting conditions, from full-sun to partial shade, but it grows best under very bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight may help to intensify the color of the leaves, but intense, scorching sun might be harmful to this plant.

As a succulent, String of Buttons does not need frequent watering. Only water when the soil is dry to the touch. Water thoroughly and drain well after each watering. Reduce watering in colder months.

This plant likes sandy, well-drained, porous potting soil. You can use cacti and succulent potting soil or mix some peat with general houseplant soil to improve drainage.

This plant grows best in normal room temperatures (between 65°F-80°F). It can be grown outdoors in warm climate regions (USDA zones 9 and higher). It does not grow well in extreme heat or freezing temperatures.

This plant should be fertilized once during the growing season (spring/summer) with diluted houseplant fertilizer.

This plant is non-toxic.

Provide porous soil with adequate drainage, pots with drainage hole are recommended. Bright, filtered light and ample airflow. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Never let your succulents sit in water. Do NOT water on the leaves. If you water from beneath by letting the plant sit in a saucer of water, make sure to pour off any excess water after a few minutes. The hotter it is outside, the faster your soil will dry out, so you’ll need to water more often if you live in a hot area. Water with caution in winter, as the plant can lose its roots if the soil stays cold and wet for extended periods; protect from frost to prevent scarring.

Very Happy plant mom

I just received my package today and I am so pleased. Carefully packaged and super healthy plants. I received exactly what I was hoping for. I am familiar with a lot of other websites and by far this is the best. Nice job, I will definitely order again. If you're on the fence about purchasing plants and succulents online I can assure you, you won't be disappointed.... And now I have a coupon...sooo maybe just a few more. :)

Gave as a gift!

Sent to a friend who is rehabbing after knee surgery. Wanted to give her something to cheer her up, since “getting back on her feet” is not as easy as it seems. She loves it!
