Growing this plant:

Lighting

String of Fishhooks thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate some direct sunlight, it's essential to strike a balance to prevent potential leaf burn or discoloration. Ideally, position your String of Fishhooks in a location with filtered sunlight or partial shade. Indoor spaces with ample but indirect light, like near a south or west-facing window, are generally optimal for its growth. It's important to monitor the plant's response to light conditions and make adjustments to its placement accordingly, ensuring it receives the right amount of light for healthy and vibrant development. Comparing to other succulents, String of Fishhooks can tolerate bit of lower lighting condition, but too little light may lead to leggy and stunted growth. 

Watering

As a succulent, String of Fishhooks is drought tolerant because it can store water in its foliage. Overwatering can lead to issues such as root rot, so it's crucial to avoid waterlogged conditions. When watering, make sure to thoroughly moisten the soil, and then let it dry out partially before the next watering. It's advisable to adjust the frequency based on factors such as the environmental conditions, the size of the pot, and the specific needs of your plant. Observing the plant's response to watering and adjusting your watering routine accordingly will contribute to a healthy and thriving String of Fishhooks.

Soil And Fertilizer

String of Fishhooks, belonging to the Senecio family, thrives best in well-draining, airy soil. You can choose a high-quality ready-made cactus or succulent mix or make your own soil using potting soil, perlite, and coarse sand. This blend ensures proper drainage, preventing waterlogged conditions that can lead to root rot. Perlite and coarse sand also promote air circulation around the roots, enhancing root health. If you notice that the soil has become compacted over time, gently loosen it with a fork or stick. Be careful not to damage the roots while doing so.
