Design with this plant

Overview

The String of Pearls (Senecio rowleyanus) is a cascading succulent offering a unique aesthetic with its pea-shaped leaves. These round beads, approximately 0.25 inches in diameter, trail down stems that can reach 2-3 feet long, mimicking a beaded necklace. This plant thrives in bright indirect light and requires well-draining soil. Water sparingly to avoid rot, typically when the first 2 inches of soil are dry. Ideal for hanging baskets in arid landscapes.
