String of Pearls

Description

The String of Pearls (Senecio rowleyanus) is a striking and whimsical trailing houseplant native to southwest Africa, belonging to the Asteraceae family. Admired for its unique, bead-like foliage, this plant features small, spherical green leaves that resemble a string of pearls. These fleshy, water-storing leaves grow along slender, cascading stems, making it a standout choice for hanging baskets, shelves, or high planters where its trailing vines can be fully showcased.

Thriving in bright, indirect light and sandy, well-draining soil, the String of Pearls is a drought-tolerant, low-maintenance favorite for indoor gardeners. It prefers to dry out completely between waterings and is highly sensitive to overwatering due to its succulent nature. With proper care, its vines can grow several feet long, forming a dramatic, sculptural display with minimal effort.

In addition to its visual appeal, the String of Pearls is perfect for compact living spaces, modern interiors, or minimalistic decor, adding an element of playfulness and texture. Its resilience, architectural form, and easy-care requirements make it a cherished addition for both beginners and experienced plant lovers alike.
