String of Fish Hooks Care
Temperature: It prefers a warm and dry climate. It will thrive indoors just fine.
Light: The String of Fish Hooks will thrive in a bright location. Keep it away from direct exposure to the hot sun.
Watering: Allow the plant to dry out between waterings. Check the moisture level of the soil using your finger, if it feels damp further into the soil leave it a little longer. If it feels dry, water it. When watering, do make sure you water it thoroughly. During the cooler winter months reduce the amount of watering.
Soil: As the String of Fish Hooks is a succulent it prefers a soil that is free draining such as a cactus mix. Ensure that your pot has good drainage.
Pruning: The String of Fish Hooks will grow very long. To encourage a bushy and full plant don’t hesitate to prune the stands. This will encourage the strands to fork and grow from that point.
Fertilizer: Fertilization isn’t imperative but if desired you can fertilise during the spring growth period with an all-purpose liquid plant food.
Toxicity: The String of Fish Hooks is slightly toxic if ingested by humans or animals. Keep it out of reach of children.
POTENTIAL PROBLEMS
Underwatering: If the leaves or “hooks” look flat, dry and shrivelled the soil is too dry. Give the plant a good watering and it should perk back up. Cut back on the watering and the plant should perk back to normal. You can remove any stems that are too far gone.
Overwatering: String of Fish Hooks store water in their leaves, when overwatered they store too much water and become shrivelled and mushy.
