String of Pearls

A trailing succulent favourite, with delicate strands of bead-like foliage that spill beautifully over pots and shelves.

Senecio rowleyanus

String of Pearls is grown for its unique, spherical leaves that store water and create a soft, cascading look. Native to arid regions, this plant is best displayed in hanging baskets or elevated containers where the trailing stems can drape naturally. Its distinctive texture makes it a standout among succulents.

Caring for String of Pearls

 Light Needs

Bright light is essential, with some gentle direct sun helping to maintain compact growth. Insufficient light can cause stems to stretch and pearls to space out.

 Watering

Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. String of Pearls is very sensitive to overwatering, so a well-draining soil mix is critical.

 Feeding

Feed lightly once a month during spring and summer with a diluted succulent fertilizer. Little to no feeding is needed in fall and winter.
