Senecio - Rowleyanus "String of Pearls"

Native to the southern tip of Africa, the string of pearls plant is easily identified by its trailing vines of pea-like leaves. This succulent is also known as Curio rowleyanus, and it's actually a member of the daisy family; its white blooms have a cinnamon-like scent.

Though it may be one of the more difficult succulent varieties to grow in the home, tending to your string of pearls can be highly rewarding. Given the correct lighting and watering routine, this trailing beauty can grow to cascade to lengths of several feet long!

Light: These babies love light, though you should avoid hot, direct sun! Perfect for bright indirect lighting situations that receive several hours of sun throughout the day, though direct, hot rays will cause this variety to sunburn. These plants will not do well in low light conditions. 

Water: String of pearls are prone to root rot, so err on the side of caution when watering. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings until the pearls appear slightly puckered. We suggest bottom watering to avoid getting any of the plants’ pearls wet, and potting in a chunky succulent mix.

Humidity: Moderate humidity is best. We suggest running a humidifier if the air in your space is particularly dry.
