The "marble variegation" aspect refers to the white and green coloration on the leaves which give it a unique and eye-catching appearance.

History: The String of Pearl Marble Variegation has been gaining popularity as a houseplant in recent years, but it has been around for much longer than that. It was first described by Isaac Bayley Balfour in 1911 and has since been a favorite among succulent enthusiasts.

Care Instructions: This plant is relatively easy to care for, but it does require a bit of attention. Here are some tips to keep your String of Pearl Marble Variegation happy and healthy:

Light: This plant prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, so keep it in a spot that receives filtered light or partial shade.

Water: The String of Pearl Marble Variegation is a succulent, which means it stores water in its leaves. It does not require frequent watering and can actually be harmed by too much moisture. Water it thoroughly when the soil is completely dry, but be sure to let it drain completely to avoid root rot.

Soil: This plant prefers well-draining soil that is rich in nutrients. Use a cactus or succulent mix and add perlite or sand to improve drainage.

Temperature: This plant prefers temperatures between 60-85°F (15-29°C). It can tolerate lower temperatures, but avoid exposing it to frost or extreme heat.

Fertilizer: This plant does not require frequent fertilization, but you can feed it with a succulent fertilizer once a month during its growing season (spring and summer).

It's worth noting that the String of Pearls Marble is a rare variety of the String of Pearls plant, which can make it difficult to find. However, its unique and striking appearance makes it a great choice for collectors who are looking for something a little unusual.
