Care Instructions:
Light:
Place your String of Watermelons in a location that receives bright, indirect sunlight. While it can tolerate some direct morning sun, avoid intense afternoon sun to prevent leaf scorching. Indoors, a south or west-facing window is ideal. If natural light is limited, consider using a grow light to supplement.

Watering:
Adopt the "soak and dry" method. Water thoroughly when the soil is completely dry, allowing excess water to drain away. Be cautious not to let water sit in the rosette, as this can lead to rot. During the winter months, reduce watering frequency as the plant enters dormancy.

Temperature:
String of Watermelons thrives in temperatures between 60°F and 80°F (15°C to 27°C). Protect it from frost and avoid exposing it to temperatures below 50°F (10°C). If you reside in a cooler climate, consider bringing the plant indoors during colder months.

Note:
Each String of Watermelons is unique, and color variations may occur based on lighting and environmental conditions. The plant you receive may differ slightly in appearance from the photos.
