    3. Resilience and Adaptability

    String of Bananas Plant Care: Some Basics to Keep in Mind

    While low maintenance, this hanging succulent still needs some of its basic needs met in order to thrive in your space. So, here are a few basics to keep in mind:

    1. String of Bananas Light Requirements

    The String of Bananas sunlight must, ideally, always be bright and indirect. Place it near a window that receives a minimum of 6 hours of filtered and bright sunlight every day. The plant can also tolerate some extent of direct sunlight. However, you must remember that if exposed to the afternoon sun for too long, the leaves of the plant get easily scorched. So, if you’re looking to give your plant exposure directly to the sun, you must ideally do so during the early mornings and late afternoons.

    2. Watering Needs

    As a succulent, the String of Bananas holds a lot of water in its leaves. So, always remember that a succulent is the easiest to overwater, leading it to root rot and a rather quick yet painful death. To avoid this, water this plant only once in 2 weeks. However, during the winters you may have to water it even less and during the summers, you may have to water it more. If you’re unsure about when to water your plant, you can use Ugaoo’s Sustee Watermeter - a device that will alert you when your plant needs water by changing colors. When the indicator of the device is blue, it is perfectly watered. However, when it turns white, remember to water immediately as the soil has dried up.

    3. Soil and Potting

    Succulents generally need soil and potting mix that has excellent drainage and aeration. So, you can use Ugaoo’s Cactus and Succulent Potting Mix - a perfect blend of essential ingredients that will give your plant better drainage, more breathing & growing space, and better overall health. When potting or repotting, always remember to use hanging planters that have great aeration with in-built drainage holes.

    4. Temperature and Humidity

    The String of Bananas succulent prefers warm temperatures, ideally between 21-27°C. It can tolerate slightly cooler conditions but should always be protected from frost. Humidity is not a major concern for this plant, as it does well in average household humidity levels. So, there is no need to mist it regularly.

    5. Fertilization

    The String of Bananas needs to be given perfectly balanced feeding that will not put it at any risk of being over-fertilized. This is because over-fertilization does more harm than good. So, for this, you can use Ugaoo’s Plant Food Fertilizer Sticks. Simply push one stick into the soil of your potted plant and ensure that it is placed away from the main stem but close to the roots. This way, every time you water your plants, the stick will release balanced and all-round nutrients that will boost plant growth over time.
    Now that you know more about how to care for the String of Bananas succulent, where will you be putting it in your home? Happy decorating!
