What Is the Ideal Temperature Range for string of beads?

String of pearls is renowned for its moderate temperature tolerance, enduring environments from 0℃ (32℉) to 43℃ (109℉). While resilient to some degree of cold, prolonged exposure to temperatures near 0℃ can cause foliage damage. Conversely, extreme heat above 40℃ can lead to dehydration and wilting. Care requires protective measures in severe cold or heat, ensuring the plant stays within tolerable limits. Symptoms of thermal stress include leaf discoloration or drop under cold and scorched or drooping leaves in heat. If overcooled, move string of pearls to a warmer spot; in overheating situations, provide shade and adequate hydration to mitigate damage.
