String of Turtles Care Tips:

Light: Provide the String of Turtles with bright, indirect light to support its growth. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, optimal growth occurs in moderate to bright, indirect sunlight.

Soil: Plant your String of Turtles in well-draining soil, such as a mix of cactus or succulent potting mix and perlite. This ensures proper drainage and prevents waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

Watering: Allow the soil to dry out partially between waterings, then water thoroughly. Avoid overwatering, as this can cause the delicate roots to rot. During the growing season (spring and summer), water more frequently, and reduce watering in the cooler months.

Humidity: The String of Turtles appreciates moderate humidity but can tolerate average household levels. Misting the leaves occasionally or placing a humidity tray nearby can provide some extra moisture.

Temperature: Maintain a warm and consistent temperature between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Protect the String of Turtles from drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations, as it prefers stable conditions.

Fertilization: Feed your String of Turtles with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to support healthy growth. 

Pruning: Trim any leggy or yellowing stems to promote bushier growth and maintain the String of Turtles' charming appearance.
