String of Pearls
Cascading strands of bead-like leaves.
Flat pads dotted with soft-looking glochids.
A playful cactus with paired pads that resemble bunny ears.
Where it grows best: full sun (at least 5–6 hours a day); let the soil dry out between waterings.
Care: Give full sun and water sparingly. Supplied in a 4 inch nursery pot.
Precaution: The tiny glochids lodge in skin; handle only with thick gloves or tongs.
